- A book like "A Semantic Web Primer" (Amazon)
- RDF, RDFS, and their representation (RDF/XML, N3)
- At least an intro to DL (see Franconi course), OWL. Which implies Logics
- At least one SW framework (Jena, Sesame)
- SPARQL
- Ontology engineering, how to build ontologies (also some top-level ontologies, like DOLCE)
- Protegé (and maybe SWOOP also)
- Existing ontologies and schemas (e.g.: SKOS, FOAF)
- Good computer science background, good knowledge of Software Engineering (e.g.: UML, Relational model, Web development), some education in AI would be appreciated
- In addition to general knowledge, specialization/experience in some particular application domain (mine is Life Science, which I think is cool, but there are others)
