Semantic Technologies In Use

Semantic technologies is the study of meaning. We can generate and maintain the relevant knowledge needed for a variety of tasks with the help of the Ontos solution and usage of ontologies and natural language processing (NLP). The amount of available information is growing rapidly and we need it for decision-making, planning and other disciplines. The information worker or knowledge worker can access relevant information by using a variety of User Interfaces (UI). The following core requests are solved:
  • Decision support during analysis and investigation
  • Visualization of information through semantic networks
  • Automatic generation of semantic annotation from unstructured text
  • Digesting large documents on the basis of their semantic content
  • Summarizing large volumes of annotated text
  • Maintaining Metadata using RDF/OWL standards
  • Semantic search using triplet technology (Object -> Relation -> Object)
Using Ontos semantic technologies we can realize the vision of the "Semantic Web". OntosMiner and Ontos SOA are the core modules for these projects and the first projects in the area of the "Semantic Web" which have been delivered to customers.
