2009 Session: Semantic Web Programming for Java Developers
Thursday, 14:15 - 15:05

Java developers have several open source tools available that allow them to develop semantic web applications, applications that create or consume linked data as RDF. This seminar will breifly introduce the concept of linked data and quickly transition to practical advice and knowhow all in the context of Java. Real working software built on these technologies will be shared and discussed, such as http://geosparql.appspot.com and jenabean, an open source implementation of the JPA for Jena

Java intermediate with some XML background
