Course Description

The course is designed for participants having little to no experience in creating ontologies in OWL. The goal of the course is to provide a sufficiently broad covering of OWL, Protégé, and other semantic web technologies so that participants can be immediately productive and have an understanding of the range of technologies that they build upon to support their own projects.

Day 1 will begin with an introduction to the theory and best practices of ontology development delivered by Barry Smith. Following this introduction will be a survey of the Web Ontology Language (OWL) that can be used to express the content of an ontology. The remainder of the day will turn to the more practical matter of using Protégé to write an ontology in OWL. An example ontology will be created in this section of the course and participants will have the opportunity to acquire hands-on experience in the use of Protégé.

Day 2 will demonstrate how to enhance the capabilities of the standard version of Protégé with plugins, including the use of OWL-reasoners and the SPARQL Query Language for RDF to expand and explore ontologies. The course will conclude with a comparison of Protégé with the Free Edition of TopBraid ComposerTM and a brief overview of common problems arising from the use of OWL to express an ontology.

It will familiarize participants with:

the use of the Protégé-OWL editor to create and maintain ontologies
enhancing Protégé with plugins
OWL reasoning and the use of the query language SPARQL.

During the hands-on portion of the course, participants will learn how to navigate the latest version of the Protégé tool set, which supports the full OWL 2 standard.

Target Audience The course is designed for participants having no prior experience in ontology development or use of OWL editors.
