Course material

Preparatory Reading

You should have downloaded, at least started to read, and ideally started to work through some of the "Practical Guide To Building OWL Ontologies With The Protégé-OWL Plugin" before the start of the course.

Labs:

The deadline for handing in Lab work is:

Work must be handed in electronically using the Bodington system. You will each be provided with a username and password for the system (anyone not officially registered for the course by still wanting to hand in lab work will need to ask for a login and password). This will give you access to five electronic "pigeon holes", one for each of the four lab exercise and one for the miniproject. You must create a zip file containing all the work to be handed in for that lab and upload it into the pigeon hole—each pigeon hole can only hold one file.
