The North American Collaboration Summit
2022-10-12 - 2022-10-14
We are sponsors of the North American Collaboration Summit 2022, the place to learn how to harness the power of your Microsoft 365 investments including SharePoint!
Our colleague Heather Hedden, Data and Knowledge Engineer at the Semantic Web Company, will host the following session:
“ENHANCING TAXONOMY AND TAGGING IN SHAREPOINT”
Are you wondering how you can improve the quality of search results from tagging in SharePoint? The Term Store is more than just a place to store terms (tags or metadata). Full taxonomies with browsable hierarchies, search-support synonyms, definitions, multilingual terms can be supported and utilized in multiple ways. Leveraging a taxonomy’s benefits, however, requires creating a taxonomy according to best practices and standards and applying the terms with consistent tagging policies, which can be further enhanced with semi-automated tagging.
This session will provide tips for creating better taxonomies, a look at the Term Store’s capabilities and limitations, recommendations for enterprise taxonomy governance, and a solution for auto-tagging integration with the SharePoint to ensure efficient, comprehensive, and consistent tagging, which results in improved content findability and user satisfaction.
Be part of it on October 12-14, 2022!

World Information Architecture Day - New Hampshire 2023
2023-03-04
What is the contribution of taxonomies to information architecture? Join Heather Hedden, Data and Knowledge Engineer at Semantic Web Company, for this 1-day event at Southern New Hampshire University, Manchester, NH.
Heather will hold a workshop for “Taxonomy Creation.” Look at the description of the workshop:
Taxonomies help connect users to content, and they improve findability over keyword search alone. As such, taxonomies should be created so that they are customized to the content and to the users. How to go about this will be addressed in this interactive workshop. Content analysis and term extraction are methods to make a taxonomy match its content, and user interviews and brainstorming sessions are methods to make a taxonomy suit its users. Following an explanation of different taxonomy types and features, exercises will include analyzing a document for candidate concepts, looking at the results of a term extraction tool and of a search log report. Small breakout groups will then brainstorm a taxonomy structure and top terms to serve the identified users.

Considering the complexity of the topic and the vast amounts of data consumed within this domain, ESG requires the use of a dedicated knowledge management strategy and systems.
This workshop will explain why Semantic AI and knowledge graphs should have a fundamental role in ESG strategies and will:

Introduce ESG and cover the challenges associated with it
Survey a collection of practical use cases
Preview a core ESG knowledge model
Explain how the knowledge model can be extended into a knowledge hub, among other solutions

Date:Wednesday, 20 September, 15:00 – 18:15

Interoperability in Data Spaces II: Use Cases, Tooling, GovernanceThe increasing number of data spaces and data markets in Europe, as well as the related funding lines and regulations by the European Commission regarding the sharing of industrial, personal, and research data, clearly shows the need to discuss, specify and realize data interoperability between such data spaces and beyond.
As a follow-up to the June 2022 workshop Data Spaces & Semantic Interoperability, this workshop will explore and discuss the current tool and best practice landscape regarding syntactic and semantic interoperability in data spaces. With participation of DataBri-X project (lead), Semantic Web Company, IDSA, University of Galway, Glaciation project, ERCIM, and champI4.0ns, the workshop will comprise two main parts, followed by discussion: (1) an experts panel to discuss syntactic and semantic interoperability, and (2) a series of lightning talks from the Call for Participation – Position Papers.
Date:Wednesday 20 September, 9:00 – 16:15
Workshop Co-Chairs:Martin Kaltenböck, CFO, Semantic Web CompanySebastian Steinbuß, CTO, International Data Space Association

Responsible AI based on LLMSAn important distinction between Explainable AI (XAI) and Generative AI is that users of an XAI model can interpret and understand the logic behind the machine’s output. Especially in the case of using unstructured data, there is clear sourcing, traceability, and mapping between the logic of concepts. Based on this principle, the PoolParty Team has worked extensively with a partner’s machine learning capabilities and PoolParty’s graph-based metadata to develop a one-of-a-kind Insight Engine that delivers fact-validated insights for operational and financial risks.
The PoolParty Team has worked extensively on a demo application that combines the strengths of an LLM with Semantic AI – an Explainable AI whose sourcing you can trust. Using a knowledge graph that models the Environmental – Social – Governance (ESG) domain, our demo PoolParty Meets ChatGPT, adds an additional layer to ChatGPT that not only provides more comprehensive answers but also enrichens the answers with sources from the knowledge graph.

Fostering Data Spaces interoperability with Language Models and Knowledge GraphsThe speakers present an approach to making use of Language Models and Knowledge Graphs in Data Spaces and Data Markets to foster data exchange and semantic interoperability.
Interoperability and language are the key enablers of efficient and sustainable data sharing among organizations, either in a certain industry or across industries, in the form of data trading or as data collaborations. Semantic interoperability requires referenceable models, including common metadata standards and quality certificates, as well as adequate language resources.
The presentation will explain the principles of Data Spaces, describe pros and cons of large vs. small language models, draw the problem statement of interoperability for value-added data sharing, and present the solution approach – including real world examples – of using Knowledge Graphs and Language Models to foster multilingual interoperability in Data Spaces.
Date:Friday, 22 September, 14:00 – 14:45

Fusing Semantics and Property Graphs to Power Enterprise Recommender SystemsKnowledge graphs technologically developed into two distinct directions. The Semantic Web stack provides standardised technologies for semantic descriptions, interoperability and reasoning, whereas the property graph domain is focused on high-performance problem solving based on graph structures.
This talks presents an approach to bring together these two domains to build a knowledge-based enterprise recommender that is powered by a semantic knowledge graph and that processes the recommendations using Neo4j and a property graph representation. The use case is presented of of analyzing ESG-related documents and supporting the writing of ESG reports by providing intelligent insights into ESG standard documents. A live demo of the prototype based on an ESG use case will be presented.
Date:Thursday 21 September, in Session 1.1 Reasoning and Recommendation, 10:45 – 13:00
Speakers:Robert David, Chief Innovation Officer, Semantic Web CompanyJesús Barrasa, Head of Solutions Architecture for EMEA, Neo4j
