1. prepare a simple ontology file in Protege on a topic of your choice

2. follow the videos released at 1pm on Monday afternoon of each week

3. create 3 questions each week and post these questions to the class listserv; the questions should identify issues relevant to each week's videos but not answered in those videos

Students taking the class for 3 credits must in addition:

1. create successive drafts of a paper of at least 3,000 words on a topic relevant to the course, topic and drafts to be discussed with Dr Smith

2. create a powerpoint slide summarizing the main theses of your paper

3. present the powerpoint slides in the final class session

Course Description: An ontology is a structured controlled vocabulary used primarily for tagging data in a way that will allow the data to be shared between different communities. The course will provide an introduction to ontology from an application oriented point of view, focusing on best practices for the development and use of ontologies, and providing plenty of examples. The course will be open to all students with an undergraduate degree. No prior knowledge of ontologies is required.

Schedule The link to the course video for any given week will be provided at 9am on the corresponding Monday (as listed below). Students are required to watch the video within 48 hours of this posting. Class participants are required to post to the class email forum questions, responses and discussion comments relating to the video from the relevant week.

Students should familiarize themselves with the Protege software tool, which can be downloaded from here.
