| - | ==== 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). | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Recommended (but optional) reading:** | ||
| - | In addition, it is recommended to read the [[http://www.w3.org/TR/turtle/|RDF 1.1. 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 8: OWL and SPARQL ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | In lecture 8 we introduce the Web Ontology Language (OWL), which adds advanced inferencing capabilities to RDF. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Required reading:** | ||
| - | The {{:teaching:infoh509:8-owl.pdf|lecture slides on owl}} and these [[https://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/ftHJ6w88LESoLjE|course notes]] (password protected). | ||
| - | |||
| - | We have also introduced and illustrated the main constructs of SPARQL, a query language for RDF. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Required reading:** | ||
| - | The {{:teaching:infoh509:9-sparql.pdf|lecture slides on sparql}} and these [[https://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/224WbVWJJY4KEaS|course notes]] (password protected) [section 7.1.9 and further is not required reading]. | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== 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). | ||
| - | |||
| - | ==== Lecture 10: Big Web Services (WS-*) ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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:** | ||
| - | |||
| - | These [[https://cs.ulb.ac.be/owncloud/index.php/s/4rfqFMop6EEo1kQ|handouts on SOAP and WSDL]] (password-protected). | ||
| - | The [[http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part0/|W3C SOAP version 1.2 Primer]] | ||
| - | The [[http://www.w3.org/TR/soap12-part0/|W3C WSDL version 2.0 Primer]] (it suffices to read only section 2). | ||
