Graph Computing Training in Durban

SPARQL is the W3C-standard query language used to retrieve and manipulate RDF data from triple stores and SPARQL endpoints.

This instructor-led, live training (online or onsite) is aimed at beginner-level to intermediate-level participants who wish to learn practical SPARQL querying for data retrieval, transformation, and federation.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Construct basic and advanced SPARQL SELECT queries to retrieve RDF data.
• Use FILTER, OPTIONAL, and UNION to refine query results.
• Write CONSTRUCT and DESCRIBE queries to transform RDF graphs.
• Query remote endpoints and perform federated queries using SERVICE.

Format of the Course

• Interactive lecture and discussion.
• Hands-on exercises against live SPARQL endpoints.
• Guided labs with sample RDF datasets and troubleshooting.

Course Customization Options

• To request a customized version focusing on your organisation’s data model or specific SPARQL endpoints, please contact us to arrange.

This instructor-led, live training held in Durban (available online or onsite) is intended for technical professionals who wish to query RDF data stored in a Semantic Web database.

By the conclusion of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand the differences between Semantic Web data and relational data.
• Query public datasets according to Semantic Web standards.
• Model data for querying with SPARQL.
• Transition a website's data to Semantic Web linked data.
• Run SPARQL queries from within an existing application.

This module breaks down the comprehensive capabilities of Semantic MediaWiki, covering structured semantic searches, knowledge-graph queries, intelligent content navigation, and advanced editing workflows integrated with the Semantic Web. Key areas include methods for linking data, developing metadata-driven content systems, and establishing smart collaboration platforms that enable teams to automate cataloging, reveal concealed connections, and revolutionize how organizations discover, manage, and share knowledge at scale across various domains.
