Learning activities and methodology
- Acquisition of theoretical knowledge (total 3 ECTS) through class attendance, study of learning materials prepared by the professor, tutorials, recommended articles, participation in forums and in-person or online tutorials. It is especially related to the GC2, SC10 and SC12 competences. - Acquisition of skills and abilities (total 3 ECTS) through different practical assumptions about queries using SPARQL, on modeling documents with RDF-s and with a final work where students must demonstrate how to generate linked data and uses of ontologies. On this part students will use the practical sessions and also homeworks with the teacher's subsequent control. Specially related to the SC7 and SC12. - The days and hours of the tutorship can be viewed in the space dedicated to the course in Aula Global, the learning platform. In addition to the hours and places officially set for the subject, students can request and arrange with the teacher other tutorials outside of that schedule, which may be in person or online.
