Graph Computing Training in Gaia

SPARQL is the W3C-standard query language used to retrieve and manipulate RDF data from triple stores and SPARQL endpoints.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level participants who wish to learn practical SPARQL querying for data retrieval, transformation, and federation.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Construct basic and advanced SPARQL SELECT queries to retrieve RDF data.
• Use FILTER, OPTIONAL, and UNION to refine query results.
• Write CONSTRUCT and DESCRIBE queries to transform RDF graphs.
• Query remote endpoints and perform federated queries using SERVICE.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Hands-on exercises against live SPARQL endpoints.
• Guided labs with sample RDF datasets and troubleshooting.

Course Customization Options

• To request a customized version focusing on your organisation’s data model or specific SPARQL endpoints, please contact us to arrange.

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 Gaia, 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 Gaia (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.
