+ | ==== Lecture 2: XML, XPath, and JSON === | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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 4, 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 contains 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). | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 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 [[https://davinci.ulb.ac.be/index.php/s/LRC7JqZrJPkpQKP|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://davinci.ulb.ac.be/index.php/s/FpfYNZNzPLp8rF6|course notes]] (password protected). | ||
