The next training course Semantic Technologies with OWLIM

Early bird registration is now open for the next training course Semantic Technologies with OWLIM, which will take place on 23-25th November in Central London.

This Ontotext training course is the second of its kind, and is especially designed for those new to semantic technology, as well as presenting an opportunity 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 three days 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 optimisation, 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.

Early bird registration is offered up to the 20th of October at a 15% discount off the regular price (25% for students and partners). Normal registration finishes on the 10th of November - late registrations after this date incur a 30% surcharge (only 20% surcharge for students and partners). The maximum number of attendants is 12, so registrations will be given out on first-come-first-served basis.
