Explore how to use prodigy as an ontology editor to build and edit a knowledge graph through hands-on practice, installation, navigation, reasoning, and plugin configurations.
Download, install, and configure Prodigy across Windows, Mac OS, and Linux, including memory heap sizing and java virtual machine options, then adjust preferences and plugins while addressing firewall considerations.
Get started with Protege by loading a pizza ontology on the desktop, exploring classes and properties, and applying a reasoner to see inferred relationships.
Learn how to build a pizza ontology in protegee step by step, including creating top classes (pizza, base, toppings), defining properties and restrictions, and using a reasoner for consistency.
Learn the seven steps to ontology development, from defining scope and domain to creating classes, properties, and instances, while reusing existing ontologies and evaluating competency questions.
Master five key questions for ontology development and refine class hierarchy. Learn when to introduce new classes, instances, or properties within open world assumptions.
Learn to expose inferred results in SPARQL by converting inferred content to asserted data with a three-step workaround using a rule engine in prodigy.
Learn how to merge two ontologies into a larger ontology using the Prodigy ontology editing tool, importing content and resolving imports to expand your knowledge graph.
Explore using Protege to edit ontologies and implement transferable swrl rules, testing a credit threshold of 60 for pass/fail in a student ontology with science and social science courses.
Explore RDF Grapher as an online tool to visualize RDF graphs from turtle files and other RDF serializations, with get and post API demos for integration.
Master the industry-standard tool for Semantic Web and Knowledge Graph development.
In the era of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data, the ability to structure information through Ontologies is a critical skill for Data Architects, AI Engineers, and Researchers. This course provides a comprehensive, hands-on deep dive into Protégé, the world’s leading open-source ontology editor developed by Stanford University.
While many resources cover the theory of the Semantic Web, this course is designed for practitioners. We move beyond definitions and jump straight into the Knowledge Modeling Lifecycle. Using the renowned "Pizza Ontology" as our foundational framework, you will learn to build, validate, and query complex knowledge structures from scratch.
What You Will Master:
Environment Configuration: Optimizing Protégé for professional development.
Core Modeling: Mastery of Classes, Individuals, Object Properties, and Data Properties.
Advanced Logic: Implementing Restrictions, Domain/Range constraints, and Property Hierarchies.
Semantic Reasoning: Utilizing Reasoners (Pellet/HermiT) to detect inconsistencies and infer new knowledge.
Rules & Verification: Introduction to SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) and SHACL for data validation.
Knowledge Retrieval: Practical querying using DL Queries and industry-standard SPARQL.
Why Take This Course? This is not just a software tutorial; it is a course on Knowledge Engineering. By the end of this program, you will have the confidence to architect ontologies that are machine-interpretable, scalable, and ready for integration into modern Knowledge Graphs.
Who This Course Is For:
Data Scientists and Architects building Knowledge Graphs.
AI Developers working on neuro-symbolic or explainable AI.
Students and Researchers specializing in the Semantic Web or Bio-informatics.
