Re: [CODE4LIB] online course on the semantic web?
If you are looking for specifics on how to model in RDFS/OWL, I recommend the bookSemantic Web for the Working Ontologist - Dean Allemang Jim Hendler. I can't evaluate it from a newbie's perspective, but it seems to be helpful for those that are coming at ontology modeling from other modeling paradigms. As far as authoritative sources, I would look for people who are involved in the various W3C standard groups (RDF, OWL, SPARQL) as places to start. Also, many tool vendor employees have blogs that can be helpful to follow as well. Finally, I would check out any local semantic web meetups. Regards, Lisa Ps http://semanticweb.org/wiki/Main_Page has lists of sw tools and standards. -Original Message- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Cindy Harper Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2011 12:41 PM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] online course on the semantic web?

Re: [CODE4LIB] online course on the semantic web?
As I'm the one doing the ASIST courses... they will be more introductory than I think Cindy is looking for -- conceptual rather than how to. We REALLY need some how-to instruction for people who want to get their hands semantically dirty. I don't think it would be terribly difficult to set up some webinars in that area and there are organizations that might be interested in sponsoring them. What we need is *instructors*. The fact is that it takes a tremendous amount of time to work out an instructional program, and one with actual code and exercises is especially trying for the instructor. However, if we could divide up with chore I think we could at least get started. If there are folks who would be willing to volunteer for a small bit I would be willing to help get them aired. This also might be something that could be part of Peter Murray's virtual lightning talks -- although that could end up being a bit scattered pedagogically if we didn't coordinate them. Would it work better if we came up with a list of topics and then did a call for demonstrators? I'm also thinking that I (or someone...) could do a short how to relating to the Open Metadata Registry (http://metadataregistry.org). That would be good for those who are interested in experimenting with vocabularies. kc Quoting Joe Hourcle onei...@grace.nascom.nasa.gov: On Mar 5, 2011, at 3:01 PM, Cindy Harper wrote: Well, I just walked my 80-year-old mother through setting up her wireless router and wireless on her desktop and laptop via telephone NY-to-VA, and now I feel like I can think about another challenge for the coming season(s).

I want to say that I remember someone presenting on some sort of modular courses to either be used as part of a library, museum or comp sci curriculum to deal with digital archives. I want to say it was IMLS funded. Basically, it was so that faculty could pick choose different courses to use as a basic course on the topic. I think I found the correct panel, but I'm not sure who it was who presented on that particular topic. (I was sick kept myself drugged up on dayquil for that whole meeting) http://www.ils.unc.edu/digccurr/asist2009_panel_paper.pdf Um ... I think this is the project, Digital Library Curriculum Project!
