Homework 4

Due by classtime on Week 7.

Apologies for the typo, which I know was confusing, since we did not hold class on Week 7. Please attempt the homework before class on Week 8, but we’ll also go over it together in class. As long as you submit the assignment before the end of the quarter, you’ll be fine!

Please answer the following questions on BruinLearn.

  1. In your own words, what is an API?
  2. Why might a developer use an API?
  3. What (hypothetically) are the benefits of cultural institutions providing linked data?
  4. Every RDF triple must have three parts. What are they?
  5. Imagine you want to link to an artist. How can you be sure that everyone who uses your data will know which artist you’re talking about?
