4. Course Description:
This course aims to enrich students with methodologies and
techniques needed for gathering, storing, mining, analyzing, and
providing access to data; to help them develop modern search engines,
no-SQL databases, web information systems, and integrated services.
The main topics that will be addressed in this course includes:
(i) Tree data models: XML, XML Scheme and DTD, XML parsing, style
sheets, XPath and XQuery;
(ii) Graph data models and semantics: RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL,
graph databases and RDF stores;
(iii) Data integration and retrieval scenarios: architectural solutions for the
integration issues, schema-based integration, GAV and LAV integration,
data fusion, web data mashups applications, data identity management,
Data Web, Linked Data, RDFa, and social open-graphs, modern search
engines, and indexing huge datasets.
