Informatics 2: People, Data and the Web
Informatics 2 explores the world-wide web of data.
Students will select a problem domain, identify live web data sources, and use computational methods to represent, transform, and present information for human consumption.
This subject covers the Extensible Markup Language (XML) and associated web technologies; systems for managing information in a shared environment; and social implications of networked computing.
A series of workshops together with a semester-long team project will give students practical experience in solving data-intensive problems involving computers, people and the Web.
