ConVEx Tempe is a highly interactive event that provides an opportunity to improve communication and collaboration across multiple departments and gives you a rare insider’s look at what is working (or not) for other teams. \nTake a look at the presentations and sessions we are holding: \nThe Semantic Content HubAndreas Blumauer\, Semantic Web Company Inc. \nThe Semantic Content Hub: Ambiguity\, language discrepancies\, and lack of background information are just a few challenges that organizations face on a daily basis when trying to analyze their content and data. This talk will focus on various semantic modeling methods you can use to organize your unstructured data and the benefits of a comprehensive knowledge graph. \nAutomatically Categorize and Tag Content Using Semantic AIFlorian Bauer\, Semantic Web Company Inc. and Chip Gettinger\, RWS \nWhile most reliable CMS have their own native tagging & search\, these pale in comparison to the benefits you can get with automated tagging based on Semantic AI. This session will introduce the concept of auto classification (semantic concept tagging) which allows users to automatically categorize and tag content with rich descriptors that enable advanced findability of content in search engines and will showcase the successful implementation of Semantic AI in Tridion Docs. \nTechnology Test Kitchen – How Semantic AI Applications are BuiltAndreas Blumauer\, Semantic Web Company Inc. \nThis session will explain and demonstrate how to develop customized taxonomies based on text corpus analysis and standard vocabularies. It will be shown how these subsequently act as the core for the development of a comprehensive knowledge graph\, and how this can link content and data across silos in a largely automated way using ontologies and graph-based tagging and mapping. \n \n \n \n \n \n Click the button below for more information about the event and find out how to register.   \n \n Visit Event page URL:https://www.poolparty.biz/events/convex-tempe-2022 CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.poolparty.biz/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/ConVEx_logo_Web_2022-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20220426T160000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Vienna:20220426T170000 DTSTAMP:20260521T075756 CREATED:20220405T065150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240402T145028Z UID:148391-1650988800-1650992400@www.poolparty.biz SUMMARY:External Webinar: The Future of Intelligent Content Management\, Semantic AI and Content Impact DESCRIPTION:World Information Architecture Café\n \n \n \n \n \n Webinar hosted by Acrolinx | April 26\, 2022  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Disparate digital experiences (DX) are one of the biggest challenges businesses face today. Poorly thought out or siloed content can not only prevent enterprises from creating the best digital experiences for their customers\, but can ultimately also lead a business to fail to reach its goals. \nAnd even if amazing content is created\, it’s incredibly hard to cut through the noise. In many instances it’s not about having more content generated\, it’s about generating\, managing\, and distributing the right content for your audience. Combining a semantic content hub\, strong content management\, and an intelligent content impact platform can help you create an optimal content solution to drive your business objectives. \nIn this webinar\, Jörg Schmidt (Senior Solutions Architect at RWS)\, Florian Bauer (Senior Solutions Architect at Semantic Web Company)\, and Daniel Nutburn (VP Global Partners and Alliances at Acrolinx) come together to discuss: \n\nWhy it’s important to make sure that your content isn’t only “healthy”\, but all-around fit to create a great digital experience for your customers\nHow to create a roadmap to better content by improving the content supply chain through semantic AI capabilities\nWhat it takes to build a semantic content hub\, from centrally managed taxonomies and automated tagging all the way to semantic search\n\n \n Watch the recording!

It is a gathering of practitioners from around the globe\, who practice and teach Information Architecture and other design-related disciplines. Be the preeminent event for information architecture learning and discourse \n\nThe IA conference prides itself on provoking engaging conversations that take place between conference attendees.\nThe IA conference exposes practitioners to leading best-practices and the latest research.\nThe conference is committed to providing resources for practitioners at all stages of their career.\n\nRevisiting Taxonomies: Topics in Taxonomy Design\nby Heather Hedden\, PoolParty TeamApril 18\, 202211:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET\nCreating a taxonomy is not difficult\, but creating a good taxonomy that is ideally suited for its use can be more challenging\, and requires training and/or experience. Even those experienced in creating taxonomies often face challenges with new taxonomy projects. (That’s what makes taxonomy creation always interesting.) Rather than a repeat of last year’s taxonomy workshop\, this workshop includes some review of the fundamentals\, but quickly moves on to a deeper discussion of specific taxonomy design issues. This intermediate-advanced workshop proposes best practices and guidance for making decisions\, including determining: \n\nHow best to engage stakeholders\nWhat kind of taxonomy structure to create\nWhether to create one or more separate taxonomies for different users\nWhether a given hierarchy should stand alone as its own taxonomy or be a top term within a larger taxonomy\nWhether named entities should be narrower concepts to their category type or in a separate list\nWhether and when it’s OK to not strictly follow hierarchical relationships standards\nIf customized semantic relationships (features of an ontology) should be included and how\n\nCriteria to consider when reviewing an existing taxonomy for revision will also be presented. Finally\, we will also look at examples of taxonomies and discuss how they can be improved. \nClick the button below for more information about the conference and how to register.  \n \n Visit Event page URL:https://www.poolparty.biz/events/information-architecture-conference-2021-2/ LOCATION:online CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.poolparty.biz/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/information-architecture-conference-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220309 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220311 DTSTAMP:20260521T075756 CREATED:20220215T121342Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T112231Z UID:147831-1646784000-1646956799@www.poolparty.biz SUMMARY:NORDIC TechKomm 2022 DESCRIPTION:Semantic Web Company is pleased to join its partner RWS at NORDIC TechKomm in Stockholm.

Join DATAVERSITY and popular Data Management product vendors for as many as five live demonstrations and get answers to your toughest questions throughout the day. This online event might be your best opportunity to research\, review\, and make the best buying decisions for your organization. \nSemantic Web Company COO\, Helmut Nagy\, will demonstrate a recommender engine from 8:00 am to 8:45 am PT. Make sure you are there!  \nRegister here!  \nA Knowledge Graph Driven Recommender Engine\nAbstract:\nAccording to various studies\, employees in knowledge-intensive industries spend >20% of their time searching for the right information. The right information might be the relevant document you are looking for\, the right person to talk to\, the right piece of equipment to use\, etc. So relevance is key and ideally\, you would want to describe what you are looking for and get back what best meets your expectations. \nIt is quite clear that no traditional search system can meet these expectations. But a recommender system built on a knowledge graph can do the trick. When you connect your business objects to the knowledge graph\, each of those objects is given a semantic footprint. This footprint can be generated automatically\, regardless of the type of object. It can be used in many cases to describe a document\, a person\, a device in more detail. It can be used to recommend similar objects or objects of a different type instead. \nIn this talk\, Helmut Nagy will show how such a system is built and works in a real-world example. \nSpeaker Bio:\nSince 2013\, Helmut has been COO of the Semantic Web Company and is responsible for the design and implementation of all customer-oriented processes\, together with the involved teams and team leads based on SWC’s business strategy. He is working as the senior consultant on several customer projects (industry and public administration) and participates in European research projects. Helmut is co-author of “The Knowledge Graph Cookbook“. \nClick the button below for more information about the conference and how to register.  \n \n Register here!

A dedicated team of volunteers from the IA community along with Kunverj produce the conference each year. \nConnecting Users to Content: An Introduction to Taxonomy Design & Creation\nby Heather Hedden\, PoolParty TeamApril 21\, 20212:00 PM to 4:00 PM EDT\nThis workshop meets 3 times \n\nApril 21\, 2021 2 PM to 4 PM EDT\nApril 22\, 2021 2 PM to 4 PM EDT\nApril 23\, 2021 2 PM to 4 PM EDT\n\nTaxonomies have evolved from classification systems to adaptable interactive tools to link users to desired content on websites\, intranets\, and web applications. Taxonomies are not the same as a website’s navigation and can do a lot more. Taxonomies can provide guiding categories of topics\, suggested search terms\, aspects for faceted search\, or topics for sorting and filtering results. To be truly helpful\, however\, taxonomies need to be well designed to suit the users and use cases\, be customized to the content\, and conform to taxonomy best practices and standards so that they are easy and intuitive to use. \nThis workshop teaches taxonomy creation principles and addresses the issues of designing a taxonomy to serve users. It presents best practices in designing taxonomies\, including the principles of wording of terms\, incorporating synonyms\, creating relationships between terms\, and designing hierarchies and facets. Other topics include taxonomy project planning\, sources for terms\, and taxonomy testing. The workshop will also include practical exercises and access to taxonomy management software. \nClick the button below for more information about the conference and how to register.  \n \n Visit Event page URL:https://www.poolparty.biz/events/information-architecture-conference-2021/ LOCATION:online CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.poolparty.biz/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/information-architecture-conference.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210418 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210424 DTSTAMP:20260521T075758 CREATED:20210303T144637Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T131840Z UID:141434-1618704000-1619222399@www.poolparty.biz SUMMARY:Enterprise Data World 2021 DESCRIPTION:We are proud sponsors of the 2021 Enterprise Data World Conference.

Standards (especially ISO 25964 and SKOS) will briefly be mentioned. Participants will be quizzed on which kind of knowledge organization system is suitable for different kinds of situations and for different kinds of concepts (subjects\, names\, etc.). \nThe next section\, which is the focus of the workshop\, addresses different methods for coming up with concepts in a knowledge organization system\, whether as a new KOS or to further build out and enhance an existing one. Because knowledge organization systems connect users to content\, they need to be designed to take into consideration the users’ needs and inputs and take into consideration the specific corpus of content. So\, we will consider both users and content as sources for taxonomy concepts and their labels. Methods of obtaining inputs for concepts from users include brainstorming workshops\, stakeholder and sample user interviews\, search log analysis\, and card sorting exercises. A brainstorming session is more suitable for participants from the same organization\, so our workshop’s main interactive activity will be a collaborative card sorting exercise through an online tool. Methods of deriving concepts from content include a manual content audit\, identifying concepts as a trained indexer would do\, and automated term extraction. We will have one interactive exercise of manual content analysis for concept identification and then present a demo of a tool for term extraction from a large corpus of documents. \nThe final section of the workshop will briefly consider the issue of combining existing knowledge organization systems in overlapping subject areas. They can either be merged into one\, if there is no business need to keep them distinct\, or they can be kept separate and linked at the individual concept level. If there is considerable overlap\, they may be “mapped”\, which means the concepts are designated as equivalent or nearly equivalent\, and one controlled vocabulary may be used for the other\, such as one at the tagged back end and one at the retrieval front end. Sometimes controlled vocabularies\, which do not have equivalent concepts but rather related concepts\, are linked with other related-type relationships. Participants will learn when each method of merging\, mapping\, and linking are suitable and the methods involved. \nThis workshop is suitable for both those who are building new knowledge organization systems and those who need to integrate or enhance existing knowledge organization systems. \nClick the button below for more information about the conference\, the program\, and to get registered.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Helmut Nagy\n COO at Semantic Web Company \n \n XLinkedIn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Heather Hedden\n Taxonomy Expert \n \n XLinkedIn\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Visit Event page URL:https://www.poolparty.biz/events/endorse-2021-taxonomy-workshop/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.poolparty.biz/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/endorse_banner2-logos.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210301 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210304 DTSTAMP:20260521T075758 CREATED:20201218T133758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T131615Z UID:140690-1614556800-1614815999@www.poolparty.biz SUMMARY:Taxonomy Boot Camp London 2021 DESCRIPTION:We are sponsors of the Taxonomy Boot Camp London 2021.

What makes it especially valuable is if the data can be classified and linked in a knowledge graph to achieve better decisions\, customer satisfaction\, and knowledge discovery\, by solving such problems as localized meaning\, data silos\, heterogeneous data sources\, and divergent kinds of structured and unstructured data. Ontologies model and semantically link different kinds of data forming the basic structure of a knowledge graph. \nThere are different approaches to designing and creating ontologies\, however\, and the choice of which may depend on what taxonomies and other knowledge organization systems already exist in an organization\, whether the focus is on only data or also other content\, and what tools are available. This workshop addresses the approach of building an ontology as a semantic layer on top of existing taxonomies or other controlled vocabularies\, thus semantically enriching and linking them\, and then the ontology itself does not need to be large and complex. Practical issues or decision points in creating ontologies will also be covered\, and there will be some participatory activities.  \n \n Visit Event page URL:https://www.poolparty.biz/events/data-centric-architecture-forum-2021-2/ CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.poolparty.biz/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/DCAforum-branding-v1.0-02.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
