Certificate in XML and RDF-Based Systems https://libraryjuiceacademy.com/certificate/xml-and-rdf-based-systems/ In this 6-course certificate program, you will gain competency as a coder in XML and RDF-based systems that create, transform, manage, and disseminate content and metadata. Typically, these are the structures at the heart of content management systems, repositories, and digital libraries, as well as the upcoming BIBFRAME. Topics covered include XML fundamentals, XPath, DTDs and Schemas, standard markup languages, XSLT and Xquery, the semantic web, RDFa and RDFa Lite, RSS, ontologies and linked data, and the SPARQL semantic query language and protocol. Courses in this series, beginning August 3rd: - Introduction to XML - Transforming and Querying XML with XSLT and Xquery - Introduction to RDF - RDFa1.1 (RDFa and RDFa Lite) and RSS - Linked Data - The SPARQL Fundamentals I - the Semantic Web in Action The first course, Introduction to XML, starts on Monday, August 3rd. This course will provide an introduction to XML (the eXtensible Markup Language) and also introduce some basic tools for working with XML documents. The main goals of this course are for students to get comfortable with XML as structured data format, learn the basic rules and tools for working with XML, and learn about several XML standards used in the library, digital humanities, and publishing communities. Topics will include: understanding basic XML document structures and content models, XPath, XML Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and Schemas. The course will also provide an introduction to several more advanced topics, as time allows, including XML namespaces and Library of Congress XML markup standards that are relevant to electronic text resources and metadata management including Dublin Core, MARC-XML, and MODS.
