RDF, RDFa and Structured Data Vocabularies
$250.00
Dates: May 5 - June 1Credits: 1.5 CEUs or 15 PDHs
This course will provide a deep dive into RDFa and applying vocabularies to resource description. Using RDFa we will explore how to mark up existing human-readable Web page content to express machine-readable data (RDF triples) that can be utilized by search engines, metadata systems, and content management systems.
Topics will include: the relationship between RDFa and RDF graph data, the full RDFa Lite specification, and some of the more useful features of RDFa Core including how to support RDFa in HTML4 and HTML5.
In addition, the course will cover RDF Site Summary or ‘Really Simple Syndication (RSS), a method for easily distributing a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes content to a wide audience. RSS was originally related to RDF but has evolved over time.
This course can be taken as one of six courses needed to earn our Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems, and may assume a certain level of background knowledge covered in other courses in the sequence.
We recommend taking our Introduction to RDF course before taking this class.
