Intended target audiences	Knowledge engineers interested in ontology engineering best practices. Practitioners wishing to get familiarized with the emerging paradigm of Linked Data. Researchers who are interested in getting a deeper insight into ontologies and the pertinent array of semantic technologies.
Expected learning outcomes for the whole Module	Understand what “ontology engineering” entails. Learn the basic steps in ontology development. Explore the key constructs comprising an ontology. Understand what “ontology reuse” is and explore key existing third-party resources that can help you construct your own ontologies. Get familiarized with popular open-source software tools for constructing and validating ontologies. Get a better view of the Linked Data paradigm through a practical running example.
Level of advancement/ prerequisites	Some basic knowledge of the fundamentals of HTML and XML would be helpful, though not absolutely essential.
Parts in the Module/chronological order	Introduction Ontology Engineering Ontology Reuse Linked Data Parts 2-3 should be consulted in the given order. Part 3 can be done independently.
Relationship with other Modules (if any)	It would help if Part 4 of the Module “Dynamics of Knowledge Organisation” was viewed prior to this Module.
Estimated time required for completion of the module	The approximate time to complete the entire module is 2-4 hours.
