Graph Computing Training in Waterloo

Apache Jena is an open source Java framework for building Semantic Web and Linked Data applications.

In this instructor-led, live training, participants will learn how to use Apache Jena to build and deploy a Semantic Web Application. 

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Install and configure Apache Jena
• Convert and store data in RDF format
• Query RDF data using SPARQL
• Test and deploy a semantic web application

Audience

• Developers
• Data Engineers

Format of the Course

• Part lecture, part discussion, exercises and heavy hands-on practice

In this instructor-led, live training in Waterloo, participants will learn about the technology offerings and implementation approaches for processing graph data. The aim is to identify real-world objects, their characteristics and relationships, then model these relationships and process them as data using a Graph Computing (also known as Graph Analytics) approach. We start with a broad overview and narrow in on specific tools as we step through a series of case studies, hands-on exercises and live deployments.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand how graph data is persisted and traversed.
• Select the best framework for a given task (from graph databases to batch processing frameworks.)
• Implement Hadoop, Spark, GraphX and Pregel to carry out graph computing across many machines in parallel.
• View real-world big data problems in terms of graphs, processes and traversals.

The Semantic Web is a collaborative movement led by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) that promotes common formats for data on the World Wide Web. The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries.

This instructor-led, live training in Waterloo (online or onsite) is aimed at technical persons who wish to query RDF data stored in a Semantic Web database.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the difference between semantic web data and relational data.
• Query public datasets based on Semantic Web standards.
• Model data for querying with SPARQL.
• Transition a website's data to semantic web linked data.
• Run SPARQL queries from within an existing application.

MediaWiki is a free and open-source wiki software. This one-day course provides participants with an introduction to Semantic MediaWiki.
