+===== Teaching Language =====
+Suitable for English-speaking students
+===== Objectives, Skills and Learning Outcomes =====
+- BACKGROUND
+The "Information Description, Storage and Retrieval" unit assumes as its context the existence of large collections of heterogeneous information which needs to be organized, described, stored and retrieved.
+- SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
+  - Make the students aware of the main issues in the organization and storage of large data collections.
+  - Make the students familiar with the main concepts in textual information retrieval and their application in retrieval tools.
+  - Explore the semantic web methods and tools, and use web resources and their descriptions in applications that make use of data semantics.
+- PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
+Knowledge and practice in programming languages for application development.
+- PERCENTAGE DISTRIBUTION
+Scientific Component: 50%\\
+Technological Component: 50%
+- LEARNING OUTCOMES
+On completion of this course, the student should be able to:
+  * Identify data sources in data repositories, online services APIs and user logs;
+  * Decide on the quality of the data sources and briefly characterize a selected dataset;
+  * Choose the document granularity and a storage model for the dataset;
+  * Use data manipulation tools to select appropriate data subsets and to fit the data to their intended applications;
+  * Describe the models used in information retrieval, specifically in web retrieval;
+  * Recognize the various tasks considered in information retrieval;
+  * Apply information retrieval evaluation measures to the comparison of web retrieval tools;
+  * Relate web documents with the metadata that describes or links them;
+  * Treat ontologies as providers of description tools;
+  * Explore the applications which manipulate semantic web information descriptions and create metadata sets for a chosen domain;
+  * Compare semantic web- based services with simpler approaches to resource description.
+===== Program =====
+  * Introduction to datasets; tools for dataset collection, preparation and access; data models and dataset storage.
+  * Text information retrieval; retrieval models; evaluation; web information retrieval.
+  * Information description: semantic web languages; RDF, RDF-Schema, OWL; ontologies for data in a domain.

+===== Admission to Exams =====
+The course has a practical component which results from the execution of projects, to be delivered up to the due dates established in the course plan.\\
+The students are admitted to the final exam if they achieve 50% in each component of the project work. Success in the course requires 40% in each intermediate written test.
+===== Final grade =====
+The final grade is computed using the formula: GRADE= 60% Projects + 40% Tests.
+The Projects component is the result of the practical evaluation and can be obtained:
+  * completing three practical assignments according to the proposed scripts;
+  * proposing a semester-long project and reporting its results in the same sessions as the assignments.
+The project and its workplan must be validated by the course instructors.
+===== Special Assignments =====
+None. All students have to complete the projects and present them as scheduled.
+===== Special evaluation (TE, DA, ...) =====
+Distributed evaluation, performed during the semester, is required of all students, regardless of their enrollment status.
+===== Improvement of Final/Distributed Classification =====
+Improving the classification requires a new enrollment in the course, taking the course projects and tests again.
