• Please work alone or in pairs.
• After each class, please prepare a report and send it to Krzysztof Kutt.
  • Write the report in English or Polish.
  • Be concise and specific.
  • Name the file as follows: semweb2019_labN_surname1[_surname2].pdf, using your name(s) and the number of the lab e.g., semweb2019_lab1_hewlett_packard.pdf
  • If you need to send additional files (besides the report in pdf), zip them into a *.zip or *.tar.gz file and name accordingly.
  • DEADLINE for the reports: a minute before the next lab.
  • If you submit the report after the deadline you will get -1 point for each started day.
• You may get 0-2 points for each report:
  1. Answer the questions marked in lab instructions.
  2. (Optionally) Add extra feedback section in the report to earn extra credit.
• If you get at least 75%, you will be exempted from the Test (and get as many points as you earned from the reports).

• Org:
  • Work in teams of 2-3 students.

  • [1-3 groups] Semantic mashup – link data from at least 3 sources (eg. Wikidata, Geonames.org, dataset from LOD Cloud, polish GUS data) in a fancy way (e.g. question answering systems, recommendation system, some analysis using statistical methods or machine learning methods)
  • [1 group] Beyond the RDF/OWL – review of other knowledge graphs approaches = „What do people do when they say they do knowledge graphs?” (with some code if possible) (start from: A Common Sense View of Knowledge Graphs)
