SPARQL 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 designed for constructing Semantic Web and Linked Data applications.

In this instructor-led live training, participants will acquire the skills to build and deploy Semantic Web applications using Apache Jena.

Upon completing this training, participants will be capable of:

• Installing and configuring Apache Jena
• Converting and storing data in RDF format
• Querying RDF data via SPARQL
• Testing and deploying a semantic web application

Audience

• Developers
• Data Engineers

Course Format

• A combination of lectures, discussions, exercises, and extensive hands-on practice

The Semantic Web is an initiative spearheaded by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), advocating for standardized data formats across the World Wide Web. This framework facilitates the sharing and reutilization of information beyond the confines of individual applications, organizations, and communities.

This instructor-led, live training in Gaia (online or onsite) is designed for technical professionals seeking to query RDF data stored in Semantic Web databases.

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.
