HTW Berlin Fachbereich 4 Internationaler Studiengang Internationale Medieninformatik (Master) Semantic Modeling Summer Term 2011

Lab 1: GeoNames

1. Experiment with the site GeoNames (http://www.geonames.org/), which is an implementation of the Semantic Web for geographic names. What kinds of information can you find on this site?
2. What kinds of information can you not find?
3. Find Berlin and inspect the RDF data (even though we don't know what RDF is right now). What can you understand about the RDF? Are there any problems you can see with this data? Sure, there are some, or I wouldn't ask. What can you find?

Submit a written report to the Moodle area by 23.00 the evening before our next session. We will discuss it at the start of class.
