The course explains what the Semantic Web is, and how the Semantic Web can be

which are:
- identification of things by URIs (covered in detail by the course
Web publishing for SMEs);
- the RDF (Resource Description Framework), which is an approach to making
computer interpretable statements;
- writing down RDF statements using XML or N3 (Notation 3);
- the use of reference data libraries (covered in detail by the course
