Big Data Visualization
- LECTURER: Mariano Rico
- AFFILIATION: ETSIInf, UPM
Outline
The semantic web (also know as the Linked Data Cloud) is a huge graph that requires powerful tools to allow an appropriate visualization of its content. In this seminar we will have a practical approach by means of a powerful tool: Gephi. Although this tools is aimed at visualizing and analyzing any graph, we will use specific plugins to analyze large linked-data datasets like DBpedia.
Syllabus
- DBpedia and the Spanish DBpedia (esDBpedia) as a big data use case.
- Big graphs with Gephi.
- Displaying linked data with Gephi.
Assessment Method
Attendance and participation. Short assignment.
Prerequisites
Basic programming skills.
