#Tutorial for the Semantic Web course

@VU University Amsterdam

Rinke Hoekstra ([email protected])

This tutorial shows the basics for building a Semantic Web-based application by guiding you through some of the typical steps involved. This means:

• Styling your webpage using CSS
• Using client side scripting for manipulating the webpage
• Using server side scripting for mediating between your own triple store and others
• Posting information to your triple store
• Using reasoning facilities of your triple store

Requirements

To get this thing up and running on a local machine, you need the following:

• Python 2.7
• Virtualenv (pip install virtualenv)
• Setup the virtualenv in the directory of this repository (virtualenv .)
• Activate the virtualenv (source bin/activate on linux-like systems)
• Install the necessary packages (install using pip install -r requirements.txt)
• A recent Stardog installation
  • The script assumes a Stardog database with the name 'tutorial' running at http://localhost:5820/tutorial (security disabled).
  • The database should have resoning enabled, and "SameAs" reasoning should be set to "Full".
  • If you want to use a different name or location (i.e. not running on localhost, port 5820) you need to set the TUTORIAL_REPOSITORY variable in src/tutorial.py

Once everything is ready:

• start your Stardog server with stardog-admin server start --disable-security,
• change dir into the src directory, and
• run python tutorial.py.

The tutorial is then running at http://localhost:5000 .
