AIM:
The aim of this course is to understand the fundamentals of ontologies and the role of ontologies in the web. The course also outlines the issues and languages of semantic
web.

OBJECTIVES:

• semantic web.
•   To learn the methodologies used for ontology learning for semantic web.
•   To know about ontology management and tools used for Ontology annotation.
•   To comprehend the role of semantics in web services and to discuss some of the
• security issues.
