Ontologies

CSCI-4340

This course provides an introduction to ontologies, their uses, and an overview of their application in semantically enabled systems. Ontologies encode term meanings and are used to improve communication and enable computer programs to function more effectively. Class participants learn how to use ontologies in Web-based applications and evaluate ontologies for reuse. Participants read relevant papers, learn how to critically review ontology papers and ontologies, and participate in group project(s) designing, using, and evaluating ontologies.
