COE543 Intelligent Data Processing and Applications

[3–0, 3 cr.]

This course provides an overview on state of the art algorithms and techniques allowing semi-structured and semantic-aware data processing, forming the main building blocks of the Semantic (Intelligent) Web vision. It covers semantic data descriptions and knowledge bases (taxonomies and ontologies), XML-based data representation and manipulation technologies (e.g., SVG, MPEG-7, RDF, OWL, etc.), structure and semantic similarity, Web information retrieval and related applications.

Prerequisite: (COE312 Data Structures or CSC310 Algorithms and Data Structures or BIF310 Algorithms and Data Structures) and (COE418 Database Systems or CSC375 Database Management Systems)
