Global Data Integration with RDF and Elixir

In a highly connected world, data rarely lives in a single isolated database. Understanding how to link disparate data sources globally is a critical skill for modern developers and data architects. This text-based course guides you through the core concepts of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and shows you how to leverage these semantic technologies within the Elixir ecosystem. You will learn to transform raw data into a meaningful, interconnected web of knowledge, query semantic data efficiently, and build resilient graph-based integrations. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational semantic web concepts, including URIs, triples, and graph-based data models. - Model complex domain relationships using standard RDF vocabularies and modern JSON-LD formats. - Query global graph data effectively using SPARQL syntax and patterns. - Integrate RDF data processing pipelines seamlessly into Elixir applications. - Parse and serialize common graph formats like Turtle and N-Triples using Elixir libraries. - Apply best practices for data validation and schema design in decentralized systems. You will start with key terminology, basic concepts, and foundational definitions of the semantic web before moving on to practical data modeling. Through clear written explanations and step-by-step code examples, you will explore how Elixir's concurrency and fault tolerance make it an ideal fit for managing global graph data. This course is designed for backend developers, data engineers, and curious beginners who want to explore semantic technologies. No prior experience with RDF or graph databases is required.
