Knowldge Engineering Course

Part I : Conceptual Data Modeling using ORM:
Part II : Semantic Web Technologies
Part III : Ontology Engineering and Lexical Semantics
Part IV : Modern Knowledge-based Applications
Each student is expected to write a synthesis paper and deliver a presentation about one of the listed topics. The paper should answer a question like “why and how ontologies are used in Data Integration”, “why and how ontologies are in e-government and e-municipality” – from your own view point. Students are expected to read and cite (at least 5 refereed papers) to support their viewpoints. Citing websites and Wikis is allowed but should be limited; the extreme majority of the references should be recent research papers. Again, the paper should NOT be a summary of others’ papers, but rather, it should represent your (own) opinion -and your opinion should reflect the state-of-art in research and possible applications related to the selected topic.  The highest mark will be given to students who (i) cite the most important research and applications related to the topic, (ii) give better criticism and comparison on these paper, and present innovative ideas and solutions, and (iii) his/her English and writing style is perfect. The paper should be written in this template: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7531499/KnowEng12.SynthesisPaper.YourName.v1..doc

Students are expected to give a seminar presentation in the class (20 minutes only) about their paper. Jarrar Courses
