Ontologies and the Semantic Web

A video lecture introducing RDF Schema and OWL, with visible slides throughout. The concepts behind ontologies are also discussed in a general, schema-agnostic manner. Places these technologies within the larger context of the Semantic Web.

This slide presentation of lecture material was used as part of a course given at The University of Edinburgh School of Informatics. This lecture covers different kinds of representations for databases and ontologies, focusing on: RDF, RDF Schema, Description Logic (DL), and Web Ontology Language (OWL).

Flavors of OWL

Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:20 +0000

This lesson looks at the different flavors of OWL, each of which is a distinct subset of the full OWL standard. Some are simpler and/or much more computationally efficient for reasoning than the full standard. Fortunately, regardless of which flavor one works with, they are all OWL (e.g. any ontology written using any subset of OWL features is still valid OWL and should be consumable by most OWL tools). This lesson also discusses when you might want to use one or the other.
