SemTech Tutorial 2017

Overview

The goal of the tutorial is to provide a working knowledge of semantic technologies, ranging from background theory through to hands-on experience with state of the art tools and systems. The tutorial is part of Oxford's DBOnto project whose aim is to promote interaction with industry and other centres of excellence.

The tutorial will be a 5-day full time event with attendants from industry and academia. It will be held from Mon 27 March 2017 to Fri 31 March 2017 at the Computer Science Department of the University of Oxford.
