Even though it affects our lives every single day, most of us have no idea what a knowledge graph is. Asking Alexa about the weather tomorrow or searching for the latest news on climate change via Google, knowledge graphs constitute the backbone of today’s state-of-the-art information systems. From improving search results over question answering and recommender systems up to explainable AI systems, the applications of knowledge graphs are manifold.

• Basic semantic technologies including the principles of knowledge representation and symbolic AI
• Information encoding via RDF triples, knowledge representation via ontologies with OWL, efficiently querying knowledge graphs via SPARQL
• Knowledge graph applications in innovative information systems, as e.g., semantic and exploratory search

By the end of the course, you‘ll be able to...

• Designing, implementing, and using knowledge graphs.

• Mathematics and programming experience
