Objectives
BASIC SKILLS: CB9 Students might know how to communicate their conclusions and the latest knowledge to specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear and unambiguous way. GENERAL SKILLS: CG5 To Recognize the growing importance of teamwork in the world of work and demonstrate adaptability and integration in different work environments, maintaining relationships and communication workflows. CG8 To value the rigorous work, in planning, organizing and developing one's own activities, demonstrating initiative, creativity and sense of responsibility, maintaining interest throughout the process, and feeling personal satisfaction with the results achieved. CG9 To make judgments and communicate conclusions and be able to do reasoning to support them in frot of specialized and non-specialized audiences in a clear way. CG11 Capacity to interpret methodologies, technologies, policies and new methods of information analysis, processing and retrieval. SPECIFIC SKILLS CE1 To know and analyze the current and future of ICTs and their application in libraries and archives. CE6 Tu use metadata vocabularies and other semantic schema/es for digital information processing LEARNING OUTCOMES In this course is specially important everything related to interoperability among digital data and information, as well as other digital assets, with special focus on Semantic Web and LOD (Linked Open Data) technologies. At the end of the course, students should be able to: - Distinguish and choose the vocabularies that best suit to represent the digital objects in the GLAM institutions (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) as well as other kinds of digital information services. - Know and select the appropriate international standards for the creation of vocabularies. Not only from the point of view of the rules of construction in terms of semantic relationships but also the specifications and standards to formalize such vocabularies for the Web. - Lead and/or approach a project of vocabularies and metadata creation including its update and creation of the best practices and manuals to use those vocabularies in order to better represent digital information objects. - Use and manage specific software for the creation and maintenance of thesauri, ontologies, taxonomies and other vocabularies. - Understand the semantic search engine optimization on the Web.
