PoolParty Advanced Bundle
All the foundational tools you need to kick off your knowledge management processes. Model and index your unstructured data in dedicated knowledge domains.
Celebrating the PoolParty 2024 Release
The PoolParty Advanced Bundle relies on the capabilities and features of the Thesaurus Manager – an award-winning taxonomy tool. It covers all the components needed to maintain taxonomies and later leverage the knowledge model with machine learning and AI in order to further scale your enterprise business processes. This bundle is coupled with ontology management, corpus analysis, and linked data.
Included PoolParty Components
In the Advanced Bundle, you will be able to use the following product components from the PoolParty Semantic Suite.
Thesaurus Manager:
Build the foundation for your knowledge management strategy with an award-winning taxonomy tool. Extend your taxonomies into ontologies.
A bundle that helps you structure your data in a dedicated knowledge domain.
The Advanced Bundle is foundational in beginning your data and content management journey.
Organize your knowledge and make information easy to find, use and analyze. Benefit from controlled vocabularies, agile metadata, and intelligent content.
Make meaning with expressive data connections. If the business case demands higher expressivity, such as pharma or finance, we extend our models with custom schemas and work with ontologies.
Use semantic metadata to extract more value from your data. uccessful metadata management is based on a solid data governance process and uses metadata standards that ensure consistency of processes along the different activities.
For greater scalability of a taxonomy-based project, see the Enterprise Bundle. This allows you to take advantage of automated concept tagging which serves as the basis of semantic search and content recommendations.
Taxonomy Advisor
PoolParty has introduced the Taxonomy Advisor, our large language model (LLM)-based suggestion tool that streamlines the process of creating taxonomies.
The Taxonomy Advisor is a highlight of this bundle and promises the following:
- Reliable recommendations: The LLM is connected to company documents and data so that the suggestions are domain specific and not random
- Less time researching: The user still has the ability to refine or reject the Taxonomy Advisor’s suggestions, but spends less time having to outline new terms from scratch
- Adding concepts: Users can select and edit from suggested narrower and related concepts
- Generated concept definitions: Users can add/edit auto-generated definitions that are suggested by the Advisor
- Streamlined editing: Users can add suggestions in bulk operations or singularly, depending on their preference
Highlighted product features included in the Advanced Bundle.
Taxonomy Advisor
Speed up the taxonomy creation process and improves its enrichment by using LLMs to generate narrower concepts and alternative labels. The LLM is integrated with PoolParty so the suggestions can be added easily to the taxonomy.
User-Friendly Editor
The PoolParty taxonomy editor is prized for its low learning curve and ease of use. It enables subject matter experts who are not used to working with taxonomies to get started quickly.
Ontology Manager
The module allows you to extend the expressiveness of your taxonomy. You can create specific relations and attributes. You can reuse existing ontologies from the PoolParty libary and combine them to custom schemes (views) for your specific knowledge model.
Import/Export (incl. Excel)
You can import your existing taxonomies into PoolParty. The software supports the import of Excel sheets and all common serializations for RDF data. PoolParty taxonomies can be exported in different formats as well.
Corpus Management
You can upload a variety of unstructured documents, crawl web resources and analyze it based on a knowledge model. You can have one corpus per project. The corpus analysis includes concept lists and term scoring.
Linked Data Frontend
Taxonomies and ontologies can be published and browsed by external parties. Every concept has an URI that can be consistently reused in another context. The Linked Data frontend is highly customizable to corporate needs.
Multiple Projects
Companies typically work with more than one taxonomy, which is no problem for PoolParty. You can create and maintain multiple taxonomies separately from each other and merge taxonomies into one knowledge model if needed. There is no limit to the number of projects a company can have.
Quality Management & Data Validator
PoolParty conducts automatic checks on your knowledge model and provides you with adequate repair mechanisms that can be fixed with just a few clicks. Inconsistencies are comprehensively summarized in reports.
SKOS Compatibility
PoolParty applies the SKOS standard and SKOS-XL, which ensures interoperability of the knowledge models. Prior knowledge about SKOS is not required in order to work with PoolParty as the methodology is seamlessly embedded in the software.
Multilinguality
PoolParty uses UTF-8, which makes virtually all encodings and languages possible. The user interface makes it very convenient to manage multilingual knowledge models within one project – something that’s especially helpful to companies with international offices or customer bases.
Advanced SKOS View
Different departments may need different taxonomy versions. The mapping functionality can automatically detect the same concepts across taxonomies / projects, which can then be linked with each other. Overall consistency is maintained. By linking taxonomies, knowledge models get even more expressive.
User Management
PoolParty differentiates 4 user roles with different user rights, which streamlines your collaborative knowledge engineering efforts. For confidentiality purposes, admins can determine if projects should have open or restricted access. There is no limit to the number of users a company can have.
Autopopulate Project
The autopopulate functionality enables users to create new taxonomy trees from structured Linked Data sources like DBpedia automatically. The result can then be customized to one’s own needs.
Rollback & History
Export to Remote Repository
A PoolParty knowledge model can be exported to third-party graph databases such as GraphDB, RDFox, and more
REST API
The RESTful API enables you to integrate your taxonomy with third-party systems. All data that can be managed or retrieved via the GUI can also be accessed via the API.
Linked Data Enrichment
Using linked data and corpora, users can curate a list of concepts indepent from the original source taxonomy, and add them into the the taxonomy tree as a collectiom. SPARQL lists are dynamic lists that you can use to show missing translations for your concepts or to derive a set of concepts that share the same relation as narrower.
Vocabulary Mapping for Linked Taxonomies
Different departments may need different taxonomy versions. The mapping functionality can automatically detect the same concepts across taxonomies / projects, which can then be linked with each other while maintaining consistency. By linking taxonomies, knowledge models get even more expressive.
Custom Reports
PoolParty allows to create custom reports and provides a collection of reports by default that can be exported. For example, you can generate a synonym list which can be used to extend Google’s customized search engine or MS Sharepoint.
SPARQL endpoint
Metadata Mapping
RDF data gets matched against the taxonomy. Included concepts can get exchanged or enriched by URIs, which provides a powerful foundation for SPARQL queries.
Store Extraction Results in Remote Store
You can store the results of the entity extraction from PoolParty to third-party graph databases such as GraphDB, RDFox, and more.
Classification
Profit from more accurate classification through a combination of semantic knowledge graphs with machine learning. The Semantic Classifier automatically sorts documents into their correct knowledge domains so that they can be tagged precisely.
Things you can add to optimize your experience.
WAND
The Semantic Integrator enables you to build a highly customizable semantic enterprise architecture. You can extend the graph database capabilities by including WAND Inc.’s ready-made taxonomies.
Multiple Corpora
You can extend the text-mining capabilities of PoolParty by uploading multiple corpora.
PoolParty for SharePoint Online
This out-of-the-box module enables you to synchronize your knowledge model between PoolParty and Microsoft Term Store. Do an initial load from Term Store to PoolParty to start managing your taxonomy centrally, taking advantage of our standards-compliant and user friendly taxonomy management tool. When ready to push to production, propagate to the Term Store while keeping your terms identifiers unchanged.
Workflow Management
PoolParty provides effective workflows for the approval of new concepts in a collaborative project setting. The suggested concept dashboard allows the knowledge engineer to keep track of suggestions and encourage review processes in a streamlined manner.
Getting Started "Primers"
To help you kickstart your projects, we have primers for taxonomy, knowledge graph, and GenAI creation. Our preliminary taxonomies help you get started more quickly so that you don’t have to build from scratch.
