Semantic Web Overview Training Course

Apache Jena is an open source Java framework designed for developing Semantic Web and Linked Data applications.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to utilize Apache Jena to build and deploy a Semantic Web Application for government use.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Jena for government applications
• Convert and store data in RDF format suitable for government datasets
• Query RDF data using SPARQL to support government information retrieval
• Test and deploy a semantic web application tailored for government workflows

Audience

• Developers working on government projects
• Data Engineers supporting public sector data management

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, with exercises and extensive hands-on practice to align with public sector needs

This instructor-led, live training in US Empire (online or onsite) is aimed at technical personnel who wish to query RDF data stored in a Semantic Web database for government.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the distinctions between semantic web data and relational data.
• Query public datasets using Semantic Web standards.
• Model data for querying with SPARQL.
• Transition a website's data to semantic web linked data.
• Execute SPARQL queries from within an existing application.

SPARQL is the W3C-standard query language used to retrieve and manipulate RDF data from triple stores and SPARQL endpoints.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level participants who wish to learn practical SPARQL querying for data retrieval, transformation, and federation, tailored specifically for government applications.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Construct basic and advanced SPARQL SELECT queries to retrieve RDF data.
• Use FILTER, OPTIONAL, and UNION to refine query results.
• Write CONSTRUCT and DESCRIBE queries to transform RDF graphs.
• Query remote endpoints and perform federated queries using SERVICE.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Hands-on exercises against live SPARQL endpoints.
• Guided labs with sample RDF datasets and troubleshooting.
