Overview
The creation of structured, semantically rich datasets is an important step towards better reuse and recombination of data from diverse sources. In addition to best practice in the creation of linked data, this module will introduce you to the tools and methods for querying linked data and for representing rich ontologies that help define data-rich domains. The module will look particularly at consumption and processing of data produced by networked sensors making up the Internet of Things.
