The slides for the next lecture are online: 03_xmlschema_css_xpath.pdf. We also recommend you to have a look at the tutorials about XML Schema, Namespaces, CSS, and XPATH at w3schools.com.
If you want to get practice with XPath expressions then you might want to test your XPath expressions in Java xsd-coding.zip or visit the online XPath evaluator. Here some XML you can play with: book.xml

The slides of the introduction talk are now online (see Schedule/Slides).
At the beginning and end of the lecture we asked you (the students) to characterize the Semantic Web with keywords.
Before the introduction talk:
After the introduction talk:
Actually the first tag cloud lists some keywords that describe the idea of the Semantic Web very well (like “Inhalte-mit-Bedeutung-Verknüpfen” which means connecting content with meaning, etc.). The second tag cloud was produced after the introduction talk, in which we discussed some standards of the Semantic Web. It lists some of the important Standards that are needed to realize the Semantic Web (like RDF, XML, OWL).
In the Semantic Web lecture we will discuss all Standards in detail. However, we should not forget about the general ideas of the Semantic Web (as partially described in the first tag cloud).
