- 
-<note tip>To help prepare for the exam and illustrate the kind of questions you may expect, two old exam questions are available: {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​ex-2011-s1-en_v2_.pdf|exam 1}}, {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​ex-2011-s2-en.pdf|exam 2}}. Please note, however, 
- that in the meantime new content has been added to the course; in particular the example exams do not contain questions about (1) the architecture of the web; (2) web services</​note>​

-==== Lecture 2: XML and XPath === 
- 
-Lecture 2 has introduced XML and XPath in depth. ​ 
- 
-**Required reading:​** ​ 
- 
-  * Chapter 2 and chapter 3 (except section 3.6) in the book 
-  * The {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​2-xml-xpath.pdf|corresponding slides}}. 
- 
-==== Lecture 3: XML Schema Languages: DTDs === 
-Lecture 3 has introduced (1) the motivation behind XML Schema Languages, (2) syntax and 
-semantics of DTDs, and (3) regular expressions. 
- 
-See pages 92-113 in the book as well as the {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​3-xml_schemas.pdf|corresponding slides}}. 
- 
- 
-==== Lecture 4: XML Schema Languages: XSDs === 
- 
-In Lecture 3, we have discussed the limitations of DTDs. Some of these 
-limitations are lifted by XML Schema, whose syntax and semantics were studied during lecture 4. 
- 
-See pages 113-158 in the book as well as the 
-{{:​teaching:​infoh509:​4-xml_schemas_part_2.pdf|corresponding slides}}. 
- 
-The example XML Schema files used during the theory lecture is also {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​xml-schema-demo.zip|available for download.}} 
- 
-==== Project Assignment 1: XML Schema Definition ==== 
- 
-Construct an XML Schema Definition for the information recorded by a 
-bookshop ({{:​teaching:​infoh509:​un_en.pdf|full assignment}}). 
- 
-This assignment is to be made in groups of 
-two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two 
-more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam 
-contributes the remaining 14/20 points. ​ 
- 
-See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). ​ 
- 
-<note tip>You can use these simple ​ {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​validationtools.zip|validation tools}} (written in Java) to help check if your example documents conform toyour XSD. Unzip the file, and then use either ''​java -jar DTDValidator.jar <​xmldoc>''​ or ''​java -jar XSDValidator.jar <​schemadoc>​ <​xmldoc>''​ to validate. The third jar file contais the source code, should you be interested.</​note>​ 
- 
-==== Lecture 5: Transforming XML documents with XSLT === 
- 
-In Lecture 5 we have discussed how XML documents can be transformed 
-into other formats (be it XML or not) using XSLT. See pages 188-239 in 
-the book (**except sections 5.8.5, 5.8.7, 5.8.9, 5.8.10 and 5.11**) and 
-the {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​5-xslt.pdf|corresponding slides}}. 
- 
-==== Project Assignment 2: XSLT ==== 
- 
-Write a single XSLT 2.0 stylesheet that generates, starting from the 
-dblp-excerpt.xml file, a number of HTML files that together 
-collectively emulates part of the DBLP website. Read the 
-{{:​teaching:​infoh509:​deux_en.pdf|full assignment}},​ and download the 
-corresponding {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​deux_xslt_data.zip|support files}}. 
- 
-This assignment is to be made in groups of 
-two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two 
-more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam 
-contributes the remaining 14/20 points. ​ 
- 
-See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted. ​ 
- 
-<note tip>The zip file above contains a XSLT transformation tool. You can use ''​java -jar xslt-tool.jar <​xslt-file>​ <​inputfile>​ <​outputfile>''​ to run it. </​note>​ 
- 
-==== Lecture 6: Querying XML documents with XQuery === 
- 
-In Lecture 6 we have discussed how XML documents can be queried and transformed into other formats (be it XML or not) using XQuery. See pages 240-2840 in the book (**except sections 6.7.5, 6.8, 6.9**) and 
-the {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​6-xquery.pdf|corresponding slides}}. 
- 
-==== Project Assignment 3: XQuery ==== 
- 
-You are requested to write XQuery programs for several queries against 
-the DBLP bibliographical database introduced in Project Assignment 
-2. Read the 
-{{:​teaching:​infoh509:​trois_en.pdf|full assignment}},​ and download the 
-corresponding {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​trois_xquery_data.zip|support files}}. 
- 
-This assignment is to be made in groups of 
-two persons and contributes 2/20 to the overall grade (there are two 
-more assignments to follow, each contributing 2/20). The written exam 
-contributes the remaining 14/20 points. ​ 
- 
-See the full assignment for related dealine(s), what the solution should entail, and to whom it should be submitted). 
- 
-<note tip>You can use {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​xquery-tool.zip|saxon (a java application)}} to run your XQuery programs. You can use ''​java -cp "​saxon9he.jar"​ net.sf.saxon.Query –s:<​source file> -q:<​query file> –o:<​output file>"​ to run it. </​note>​ 
- 
-==== Lecture 7: RDF and RDF schema====

-In lecture 7 we have introduced the RDF data model, its serialization formats, and basics of RDF Schema. 
- 
-**Required reading:** 
-The {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​7-rdf.pdf|lecture slides}}, the [[http://​www.w3.org/​TR/​rdf11-primer/​|RDF 1.1 Primer]], and these [[http://​cs.ulb.ac.be/​owncloud/​index.php/​s/​qxYxGEY5RAdc4eX|course notes]] (password protected).

Turtle Syntax]] specification (sections 1-3) and the [[http://​www.w3.org/​TR/​2014/​REC-rdf-syntax-grammar-20140225/​|RDF 1.1. XML Syntax]]specification (only section 2) to get the best overview of the RDF serialization formats. In addition, the {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​semantic-web.pdf|original semantic web article}} ​ is a good read to get an insight into the original motivation for the semantic web. 
-

- 
-==== Lecture 9: RESTfull Web Services ==== 
- 
-In lecture 9 we have (1) discussed the history of (Web) Services; (2) discussed the 3 main API styles of Web Services; and (3) illustrated RESTful Web Services by means of an example. 
- 
-**Required reading:** 
-The {{:​teaching:​infoh509:​10-restws.pdf|lecture slides}} and these [[https://​cs.ulb.ac.be/​owncloud/​index.php/​s/​ZAaAiCJny7p1Zvj|handouts]] (password protected).

- 
-In this lecture ({{:​teaching:​infoh509:​11-bigws.pdf|slides}}) we have introduced the Big-WS* technology stack. In particular, we have studied SOAP version 1.2, WSDL version 2.0, and highlighted the differences with WSDL version 1.1. 
- 
-**Required reading:**
