Textbook

New textbook in the Spring semester 2021 is The Knowledge Graph Cookbook - Recipes that Work, by Andreas Blumauer and Helmut Nagy (April 16, 2020). mono/monochrom. The whole book is obligatory reading.

The old textbook in INFO216 was Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist, Second Edition: Effective Modeling in RDFS and OWL by Dean Allemang and James Hendler (Jun 3, 2011). Morgan Kaufmann. It is still recommended reading, but not obligatory.

Other materials

In addition, the materials listed below for each lecture are either mandatory or suggested reading. More materials will be added to each lecture in the coming weeks.

The lectures and lectures notes are also part of the curriculum.

Make sure you download the electronic resources to your own computer in good time before the exam. This is your own responsibility. That way you are safe if a site becomes unavailable or somehow damaged the last few days before the exam.

Note: to download some of the papers, you may need to be inside UiB's network. Either use a computer directly on the UiB network or connect to your UiB account through VPN.
