| Objectives | Introducing and deepening the notions of ontology and those correlated with emphasis on the use of Human language technologies in their development. On completion the MSc student will be able to develop, extract, maintain and evaluate ontologies, using both the tools available on dedicated sites, as well as their own instruments. |
| General thematics | Fundamentals of ontologies and ontological engineering Modeling and knowledge representation languages WordNet, CYC Human language technologies for the semantic web ontologies (Semi)automatic extraction of ontologies Ontologies alignment and mapping Evaluation of ontologies Natural Language perspectives for semantic web applications |
| Seminary / Laboratory thematics | Ontologies modeling, extraction, alignment, and mapping (GATE, CLaRK, Protégé, OntoMat, CREAM, SHOE, Falcon-AO, Magpie, a.s.o.) Presentation / commenting articles of the domain Case Studies |
