World Information Architecture Café
2023-08-03 19:30 - 20:30 (America/New_York) | online
Taxonomies help connect users to content and improve findability over keyword searches alone. As such, taxonomies should be created so that they are customized to the content and to the users. In this presentation, Heather Hedden addresses how to go about this. 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.

Semantic Web Company is participating for the first time in a Henry Stewart DAM event, the leading conference and virtual event producer in the field of Digital Asset Management. DAM New York is the largest global conference dedicated to Digital Asset Management and the vital role DAM plays in digital transformation. DAM has evolved from a siloed creative tool to a major enterprise strategic application. Attendees will benefit from real-world case studies, interactive panels, workshops and roundtables, plus an additional day of pre-conference tutorials.
At this year’s annual DAM New York, listen to SWC’s Product Communications Representative and Knowledge Manager Heather Hedden speak on the panel “Taxonomy is What Powers DAM.” DAM and other enterprise systems built on metadata rely on taxonomies to identify, find and group assets so you can put them to work.
The first two panelists will speak on the role of an enterprise taxonomy to support the goals of the enterprise and how to improve a taxonomy and identify and address gaps. Heather will speak on taxonomy management best practices, that a taxonomy should not be confined to a single single DAM system, and that you need to consider how a DAM taxonomy should relate to other taxonomies across the enterprise. Success involves taxonomy alignment, linking, and governance that promotes consistency and facilitates the search for assets and information across different systems.

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.
Date:Thursday 21 September, in Session 1.5 Knowledge Graphs, 10:45 – 13:00

Intelligent Content—Bringing Together Knowledge Graphs & Large Language ModelsLarge language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT are a hot topic. But can we trust them to give us the right answers to questions or make the right decisions? One possible answer to these challenges is to combine these generative technologies with knowledge graphs that can help explain the results and support the generation of high-quality data to train the models. Combining generative AI and symbolic AI can ultimately lead to eXplainable AI (XAI) that can help in our daily work. Nagy shares the advantages of merging both technologies, shows how knowledge graphs help to create better and explainable results with generative technologies, and also shows how generative technologies can help to create better knowledge graphs.

Get Inspired by the PoolParty User Experience.

The Semantic Web Company was proud to host the PoolParty Summit 2024. Our third edition of this annual summit spanned three days full of virtual talks, panels, demos, and the like. Keeping up with today’s pressing topics, the PoolParty Summit 2024 explores how PoolParty users are adapting to the rapidly changing demands of digitalization with semantic technologies and AI.

With 20 sessions, over 35 speakers, and more than 1300 registrants – PoolParty Summit 2024 was a great success!

We broke it down into 3 major themes.

AI
Generative AI and large language models (LLMs) took 2023 by storm. Despite their popularity, many worry about the risks they pose. This PoolParty Summit offers up another alternative called Explainable AI, which combines the strengths of LLMs with the trustworthiness of Semantic AI.

ESG
The PoolParty team is keeping a watchful eye on Environmental – Social – Governance (ESG) and we’re using the Summit to spread the word on it. We’ll have presentations and panels that answer some of these key questions:

What is ESG? Why does it matter?
What regulations are expected of companies in the coming years?
How can Semantic AI help overcome the challenges to roll out a successful corporate strategy?

Tech deep dive
And of course, we can’t forget the tech. Get a glimpse into PoolParty capabilities, features, and integrations with partners. Some highlights at the PoolParty Summit 2024 will be the Recommender Workbench: our solution for building knowledge-based recommender systems; a frontend application for semantic search; and an ESG knowledge model.

The best of 3 worlds: An SGE for ESGThis presentation will report on the integration of LLMs, semantic knowledge models and recommender systems that serve as the enabling technology for a Search Generative Experience (SGE). The presented application is at its core based on a comprehensive ESG domain model to provide sustainable investment and ESG practitioners with referenceable and reliable information.
Firstly, we address the question of what a practical search or question and answer engine should look like from the user’s perspective, especially when dealing with a complex domain such as ESG. How can users with different levels of knowledge and different roles and tasks be served and learn to understand relationships across a domain without losing the common thread? How can it be ensured that authoritative sources are always referenced, if they are available? How can this design pattern be applied to other application classes, e.g. when setting up a help and support desk for products that require explanation? In the second part of the presentation, we will discuss the underlying architecture and show how knowledge models provide key services for prompt engineering and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). In addition, we take a closer look at the underlying ESG knowledge model and learn about the principles according to which it is developed and how LLMs are used for this purpose. We briefly return to the roots of the Semantic Web and look at the data model from the perspectives of interoperability, explainability and the possibility of developing semantic models independently of the application logic and thus making them reusable.
Finally, we take a bird’s eye view and look at the presented SGE for ESG application as one facet of a more comprehensive knowledge hub. We see the underlying knowledge graph as the driver for the efficient development of domain-specific applications, e.g. to enable specific views of ESG data from investors or enterprises in the case of sustainable business.

CrossMediaForum 2024
2024-07-04 | Hotel Maritim, Goethestraße 7, Munich, Germany
Publishers and media companies are under pressure: they have to run their core business and develop innovative offerings at the same time – and do so with limited resources. This can only succeed if the core and, above all, content processes are as lean as possible and run without many manual activities or are supported by AI tools.
Under the motto “More creativity and customer-oriented media offerings through (AI) tool support and automation”, publishing managers and leading solution providers will present innovative and tried-and-tested processes and tools.
The event is held in German language.

CEO Andreas Blumauer’s talk at CrossMediaForum 2024

GPTs have revolutionized AI. Do we still need knowledge models and taxonomies, and why?In many specialist fields such as law, medicine or ESG, the central expectation of users is not only reliability and completeness but also a concise summary of information. If specialist publishers want to use AI technologies for their customers, they should not only create content for users using LLM, but also use a semantically processed knowledge base as a basis. In his presentation, Andreas Blumauer explains the interplay between LLM and graph technology and uses the example of the knowledge-hub.eco portal to show the advantages of this combined approach.

Ontotext Knowledge Graph Forum
2024-10-22 - 2024-10-23 | online
Ontotext’s Knowledge Graph Forum is a free two-day online event addressing the full spectrum of knowledge graph business applications and the technology partner ecosystem needed to deliver that value. As a partner of Ontotext, Semantic Web Company is pleased to participate.

Graph-Driven RAG AI Powered by DITACan generative AI benefit from structured content? What role play knowledge graphs in this? And what does all of that have to do with DITA? After they discovered the shortcomings of vector-based RAG there is a buzz in the industry around knowledge graph-driven retrieval-augmented generation (Graph RAG). This session will put the question of whether and how DITA fits into that equation. Michael Iantosca, Senior Direct of Knowledge Platforms and Engineering at Avalara, and Helmut Nagy, Chief Product Officer of Semantic Web Company will demonstrate a full-scale implementation of a graph-driven RAG based on intelligent structured content. Presented by Iantosca as graph AI theory at CIDM and in Best Practices newsletters just as generative AI blasted into the mainstream, this session will explain how DITA was used to automate the construction and maintenance of a scalable knowledge graph to drive generative AI applications along with a fully functional advanced neuro-symbolic chatbot that supports what other models lack: the ability to do inferencing and reasoning. This isn’t your typical show-and-tell session, but an in-depth review of how the model and solution were built, the theory behind it, and how other teams can replicate the same. Several years ago, some audacious Markdown maven declared that DITA was getting “long in the tooth”. Now, at the dawn of neuro-symbolic generative AI, it turns out that DITA was indeed, the future.

Improved Regulatory Recommender in Healthcare: Right Training, Right Place, Right TimeHealthStream maintains a dataset of regulatory requirements for professional licensing for healthcare professionals and provides courses to meet many of these requirements. It wants to explore a regulatory recommender that would use the tags applied to courses and regulations to pair an individual with the appropriate training material specific to their license, care setting, and state. This is being built in collaboration with Semantic Web Company, utilizing its LLM-based Taxonomy Advisor and Recommender feature to extend the taxonomy and its Semantic Integrator technologies to power the recommendations. The primary objective for this recommender is that its architecture be easily understandable and maintainable by our knowledge management team. A previous attempt to build such a recommender was too complex, leading to unexplainable results and an inability to fine-tune the recommendations based on feedback. It is critical that these recommendations be accurate, as this is legal content that has implications for professionals maintaining licensure if incorrect courses are suggested to fulfill the requirements.

Enhancing Content Strategy Information Management With LLMs and Symbolic AIClassifying content based on thesauri is an established method in content strategy and information management. Knowledge representation, including formal logic and terminology control, provides precise and consistent indexing, enhancing information retrieval. The advent of LLMs has given these approaches a significant boost. Addressing the challenges of unlocking unknowns from latent content, guiding users in discovering new insights, and preventing hallucinations in GenAIs have become increasingly critical. As enterprises explore merging LLMs with symbolic AI, graph grounding—the formal representation of information and data—emerges as a pivotal challenge. This session introduces key concepts and presents interactive and automated tools for annotating, classifying, and indexing unstructured text and documents.
