Material Detail

As the first textbook on ontology engineering (OE) for computer scientists in the world, it is not only used at UCT but also has become a textbook of choice elsewhere in the world. As a first for computer scientists in this area, it effectively demarcates the field as well. Also, it contributes to a maturing of the research area and the science conducted within it, as it forms a basis for educating the next generation of researchers in the field.

It also incorporates technical and pedagogical innovations, such as software-supported exercises and several tools developed in-house to assist students to transition from the theory to hands-on engineering aspects of ontologies. It also has slides and tutorial materials, and assignment examples and solutions to selected exercises, to make it a textbook package rather than a ‘mere’ PDF.

There’s also some guidance for reading the content for visually impaired people, particularly when it comes to logic symbols.
