WIAD22 - A Connected World
2022-03-05
Information architecture uncovers and creates new connections that we weren’t aware of before. It can inspire us to make new discoveries or reveal new relationships that may urge us to take constructive action, e.g. climate change, the global health crisis, or the supply chain disruption we have experienced during the pandemic. That is why the global theme for 2022 is “A connected world”
We are happy to be one of the sponsors of the international information architecture event World IA Day. With our support, World IA student interns will create a taxonomy to be used for offline manual tagging of assets (PDFs, videos, etc.) of past World IA Day conference presentations, of 10 years in multiple venues.

Getting Started with Taxonomies

The Build vs. Buy Dilemma Explained

Watch the Recording

Speaker
Heather Hedden, Data and Knowledge Engineer at Semantic Web Company

Getting Started with Taxonomies
Taxonomies have numerous uses and benefits in the workplace:

They help companies improve content searching, browsing, discovery, and recommendation
They support consistent tagging, metadata management, and workflows
And they connect with ontologies to build knowledge graphs of structured and unstructured data, linking content and supporting analysis

However, if you do not already have a taxonomy, where do you start? The classic question of build vs. buy applies to taxonomies, too. And can be answered in our webinar led by Data & Knowledge Engineer Heather Hedden.
Building your own taxonomy has the advantage of customizing it to your content and user needs from the start, but can take time and resources that are not readily available. Buying a starter taxonomy can be a good option if a taxonomy is available in the desired subject domain.
This webinar looks at the benefits and challenges of both options and suggests a possibly hybrid approach of buying, then modifying a taxonomy. It also explains the role corpus analysis, natural language processing, and autoclassification play in getting started with taxonomies.
Tune in to our webinar to hear some of the following key topics:

An introduction to taxonomies
How to build a taxonomy that’s relevant to your use case and scope
How to edit your taxonomy
How to acquire or license existing industry taxonomies
The benefits of taxonomies as a whole

Leveraging User Intent in Content Management for Impactful Outcomes

The way consumers search for information on Google has immensely changed their expectations across devices and tools. The focus on user intent is becoming paramount because providing the customers exactly what they desire is key to a successful business. Search engines work with that mindset, and the same is expected from business websites and applications. The customers want the correct answer quickly and accurately at each digital touchpoint. Understanding user intent is a decisive factor when it comes to designing modern content management strategies for enterprises. At RWS, we understand the importance of adding intelligence to content management technology to make lives easier for businesses. Pure machine learning isn’t enough to provide businesses with the clarity or the future-proofing they need to succeed. Combining the power of knowledge graphs, machine learning, and content management bring explainability and accuracy to businesses. This is why we are working together with PoolParty to bring operational excellence to businesses by combining our content management technology with the core services from Semantic Web company.

The webinar at a glance – key takeaways

Diagnose Digital Transformation roadblocks to help your organization get unstuck
See how to unlock the potential of Digital Transformation by harvesting the intelligence from your data
Understand how foundational Knowledge Graphs can help you quickly spin up advanced data-driven capabilities

Years into the Digital Transformation era, we are arriving at a point of consequence. Many organizations have invested in heavily in Digital, but most have yet to see ROI live up to the promise. And the pressure keeps mounting. So some forward-thinking organizations are building on Digital Transformation with what is now being called Data Transformation, which is the shift from simply accumulating data to extracting tangible business value from it by becoming a truly digital, truly data-driven organization.
What is missing is a 360 degree view; an enterprise-wide structure for business information. But a new solution for this challenge is emerging using an idea that’s been around for awhile — the Knowledge Graph. With the right enterprise information architecture and tools, Knowledge Graphs can unlock the promise of Data Transformation.
In this webinar, we’ll show you how your organization can use Knowledge Graphs to build the right foundation for Data Transformation, reducing time to value for key business use cases, unlocking advanced capabilities with ML and AI, and transforming your growing reservoir of data from a management headache into a core strategic advantage.

Revisiting Taxonomies: Topics in Taxonomy Design
by Heather Hedden, PoolParty TeamApril 18, 202211:00 AM to 2:00 PM ET
Creating 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:

How best to engage stakeholders
What kind of taxonomy structure to create
Whether to create one or more separate taxonomies for different users
Whether a given hierarchy should stand alone as its own taxonomy or be a top term within a larger taxonomy
Whether named entities should be narrower concepts to their category type or in a separate list
Whether and when it’s OK to not strictly follow hierarchical relationships standards
If customized semantic relationships (features of an ontology) should be included and how

Criteria 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.

Webinar: Understand Your Data - How Text Mining with PoolParty Drives Your Semantic AI

Recorded Webinar

UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA

How Text Mining with PoolParty drives your Semantic AI



Speakers
Andreas Blumauer, CEO Semantic Web CompanyChristian Blaschke, Product Owner at Semantic web Company

Enterprise data is mostly unstructured and follows a siloed logic, which leaves little opportunity for meaningful metadata to occur. As a result, what would be an otherwise treasure trove of data, can hardly be used for automation or deeper text analytics, nor can it be networked with more highly structured data in the enterprise. On top of all these headaches, search applications in most enterprises are still far more rudimentary than what we are used to from internet search engines like Google.

Why is this and can it be done better?
The quality of automated natural language processing (NLP) and intelligent document processing (IDP) depends largely on what the underlying algorithms know about the domain in question. So machine learning based on training data that also does not contain this knowledge, is not effective. Instead, the solution is to combine machine learning with knowledge graphs.
What our brains have been doing for millennia, what Google has been pioneering since 2012, is now entering the reality of the business world: semantic AI — the combination of symbolic and statistical AI.

What is semantic AI, and what does it have to do with text mining?
Semantic AI has always focused on being able to infer and classify the meaning of large content sets in a largely automated way. Only when a machine is able to reliably annotate and disambiguate the meaning of a text in an explainable way, can it be used for further automation, including in business-critical processes and decision making. Furthermore, this is to be based on the principles of explainable AI (XAI).
Semantic AI can do all that: it helps complement black-box AI with explainability and takes your AI platform to the next level. Semantic AI no longer just analyzes the surface of your data, it understands the meaning behind it.

How can you use PoolParty to benefit from semantic AI?
PoolParty Semantic Suite is a software platform that can:

analyze, classify, annotate and cross-link your unstructured data.
use unstructured data in a performant, accurate, reliable, and secure way;
in various multilingual environments and in almost any knowledge domain.

This 21st century key technology has been developed by semantic web pioneers over the last 15 years and is being used by major global organizations.
In this on-demand webinar, learn more about the many use cases of Semantic AI and how they can be implemented using the PoolParty Semantic Suite.

External Webinar: The Future of Intelligent Content Management, Semantic AI and Content Impact
2022-04-26 16:00 - 17:00
ESPC2024 – Microsoft 365 and Power Platform Conference

Webinar hosted by Acrolinx | April 26, 2022

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.
And 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.
In 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:

Why 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
How to create a roadmap to better content by improving the content supply chain through semantic AI capabilities
What it takes to build a semantic content hub, from centrally managed taxonomies and automated tagging all the way to semantic search

Speaker
Heather HeddenData and Knowledge EngineerSemantic Web Company

From Taxonomy to Ontology
There are many uses and benefits to taxonomies, but there is even more you can do with an ontology, such as supporting more complex searches, search across datasets, search on variable criteria, and graph visualizations. Fortunately, it’s not necessary to create a complete ontology from scratch, if you already have taxonomies or other controlled vocabularies. These vocabularies can be enriched with the features of an ontology (semantic relationships, custom attributes, and classes) by taking the approach of building an ontology as a semantic layer on top of existing vocabularies.
This webinar provides an introduction to ontologies and their components and walks through the steps of extending a taxonomy by designing and adding an ontology semantic layer.
Tune in to our webinar to hear some of the following key topics:

Why extend a taxonomy
What is an ontology
Standards for taxonomies and ontologies

Special Libraries Association - Annual Conference 2022
2022-07-14 - 2022-08-02
The SLA Annual Conference is the premier event for special librarians and information professionals who want to explore the latest challenges and trends in information, knowledge, and library management, refine their skills, connect with colleagues, and meet with leading product and service providers.
The PoolParty Team is represented by Heather Hedden with multiple pre-event and event sessions:
“From Taxonomy to Ontology” workshop
Description: While taxonomies support findability and information retrieval, ontologies support additional information retrieval methods, such as enabling complex queries, the exploration of different relationships, and quick access to associated data, and not just content. The Semantic Web standards, upon which modern information ontologies are built, have brought ontologies more closely aligned to taxonomies and other knowledge organization systems, than the merely computer science use of ontologies of the past. Integrating ontologies with taxonomies has many practical applications, which increasingly more companies and organizations are implementing. This educational session teaches the fundamental principles of ontologies for information science, including their definitions, types, standards, benefits, and uses, including knowledge graphs. It then instructs by ways of examples, how to extend a taxonomy to become an ontology, and then addresses issues in modeling and designing ontology classes, relations, and attributes, including best options and practices. Tools and technologies will also be addressed.Date: Thursday, July 14, 2:00 – 4:30 pm EDTFormat: Live online (Zoom)Organizer: SLA (Special Libraries Association) Continuing Education WorkshopsRegistration: $100 for SLA members, $150 for nonmembers
“Research Sources and Methodologies for Taxonomy Development”
Description: This session explores the information sources and research methodologies available to those who are starting out in taxonomy development. Information sources discussed include publicly available taxonomies and ontologies, and authoritative vs nonauthoritative sources. Research methodologies include card sorting, tree testing, actionable recommendations, content analysis, and the use of metrics in development and maintenance.Presented jointly with Marisa Hughes, Taxonomist at the American Psychological Association.Dates: starting July 30Format: Pre-recorded on-demandand
“Current Challenges and Advanced Taxonomy Topics” (Session C2)
Description: This panel will cover advanced taxonomy topics, including common and current challenges taxonomists are facing in their jobs along with various business and use case discussions. The panel will also have career discussions around what separates a senior position from a junior position and how to take the next step in your taxonomy career. Participants will obtain a grasp of common and current challenges faced by taxonomists in their roles, understand how to apply taxonomies in various advanced use cases, know more about career paths for advanced taxonomists.Date: Sunday, July 31, 4:30 – 5:30 pm EDTFormat: In-person (and hybrid)and
“Communities of Practice: Where Everybody Knows Your Name”(Session G4)
Description: Communities of Practice (CoPs) can be invaluable for connecting people with common goals and interests and facilitate the sharing of knowledge, resources, and more. Sharing best practices and knowledge can result in better ideas, innovation, and improved culture. Join this session to learn more about what a community of practice is, considerations for designing and growing your CoP, and strategies for success in maintaining a CoP.Date: Tuesday, August 2, 9:00 – 10:00 am EDTFormat: In-person (and hybrid)Organizer: SLA (Special Libraries Association) Annual ConferenceLocation: Charlotte Convention Center, Charlotte, NC (and online)

Webinar: Knowledge Based Recommender Systems
2022-08-25 16:30 - 17:30
LIVE WEBINAR

Knowledge Based Recommender Systems
Developing and successfully using powerful recommender systems



Speakers
Andreas Blumauer, CEO & Co-founder, Semantic Web Company
Robert David, CTO, Semantic Web Company

This webinar provides a comprehensive overview of possible uses of recommender systems, and why they should be central building blocks in the digital workplace and in almost all enterprise information systems, such as knowledge and content hubs, customer experience platforms, or support systems.
From a technical point of view, we will further address how recommender systems essentially work and how they can be optimized. For this purpose, different approaches will be compared and we will specifically address those recommenders that are based on knowledge graphs and semantic knowledge models.
We will explain the methodology for knowledge-based recommendations and show how we can apply taxonomies, ontologies and rules to provide recommendations with different levels of expressivity. We also show how this methodology is realized in the PoolParty platform architecture using different software components.
Especially in knowledge-intensive workflows, where decisions have to be made continuously, users benefit from accurate suggestions. The business objects (documents, experts, products, suppliers, etc.) that best fit the respective context are automatically brought into the spotlight. The possible applications are manifold and we will go into numerous examples and demos and point out, among others, applications in the environment of HR management, drug approval, technical support for software or legal.
The webinar is aimed at AI and information architects, knowledge managers, UX specialists, but also directly at department managers who are responsible for better support, more efficient process management or accurate risk management in their areas.
The core topics and questions that Robert David (CTO, Semantic Web Company) and Andreas Blumauer (Co-founder & CEO, Semantic Web Company) will address in this webinar are:
– Why are recommender systems essential for a successful digital transformation?– What are their potential and possible applications?– What methods are such systems based on, and how can they be optimized?– How do you start a project to establish a recommender in your own environment?

Applying Semantic AI platforms for Augmented IntelligenceIn recent years, augmented intelligence systems have advanced to provide humans with insights for knowledge discovery and decision making. Using a cooperative approach, these systems use powerful artificial intelligence (AI) to augment human cognitive activities. To do so, the AI capabilities have to complement human actions and therefore be explainable and controllable, while still providing implicit insights based on statistical models. Semantic Artificial Intelligence (Semantic AI), as the combination of machine learning and knowledge models, provides such a methodology.

Multilingual Taxonomies and Knowledge Graphs as a Basis for Semantic AI ApplicationsThe domain of taxonomies and ontologies is to structure and enrich data. This makes the data searchable, findable, usable, and, moreover, the basis for AI applications. Terminology as the “counterpart” is responsible for ensuring that both data and metadata in the company are uniform and thus reusable and linkable. We show how taxonomy and terminology together make corporate data fit for the future, and how you can build taxonomies and knowledge graphs alongside classic terminologies. We give concrete examples of how these can be implemented in practice.
Date:Thursday, September 15, 2022 – 10:15 to 11:15 (part of LTI)

Semi-automated Generation of Multilingual Domain-specific TaxonomiesThe use of and need for domain-specific taxonomies are rapidly augmenting, as part of the growing interest in multilingual knowledge management. However, creating a fine taxonomy for any domain or industry use case can require many months of intensive expert work. To face this challenge, we converge human created and curated data with automated processes and a Knowledge Graph tool. Namely, we apply cross-lingual lexicographic content from KD-Lexicala with Semantic Web Company’s PoolParty Semantic Suite to generate multilingual domain-specific taxonomies.

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!
