Semantic Technologies with OWLIM, 5-7 Dec, Washington, DC

Registration is now open for the first training course Semantic Technologies with OWLIM in the USA, which will take place on 5-7th December in Washington, DC. This is the third instance of the course, after the success of the first one that took place 28-20 of September in London, and the second course in London, 23-25 Nov, which is already fully booked.

This Ontotext training course is especially designed for those new to semantic technologies, as well as for those familiar with OWLIM to expand their knowledge. Corporate users of OWLIM will be able to use the event to train their employees, including IT managers, developers and operational staff. 

Semantic Technologies with OWLIM spans two days and a half and focuses on:

• the basic principles of semantic technology, W3C standards (RDF, OWL, SPARQL), knowledge representation, reasoning and linked data
• building applications based on OWLIM, including advanced features such as owl:sameAs optimization, geo-spatial and full-text search indexing
• supporting applications based on OWLIM, including cluster configuration and maintenance.

Participants will be able to select only those days suitable for their level of experience.

The trainers have many years of experience in teaching semantic technology and involvement in landmark deployments of RDF database engines, like the one for BBC's World Cup website, and in outstanding linked data projects like LinkedBrainz.

The maximum number of attendants is 15 in order to facilitate a hands-on experience and personal attention.
