The Art of Developing Valuable Employee Journeys

Unite your data with 360-degree views



Speakers
Laurie Gray, RGPAmber Simpson, Walmart US LearningFrançois Violette, JobTeaserHeather Hedden, Semantic Web CompanyJoseph Hilger, Enterprise Knowledge

In today’s dynamic work environment where spaces are changing from remote to hybrid to in-office, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to navigate and optimize the employee journey for better business value. Both in early acquisition stages and in later skill development, success for many organizations is largely dependent on being able to understand different business aspects from all sides.
An emerging approach called Enterprise 360 refers to this exact understanding – where organizations can implement enterprise knowledge graphs to achieve 360-degree views of business relating to customers, employees, products, and services. Critical within this 360 world of integrated data, is Employee 360, which offers a connected view of all aspects of an organization’s most valued asset, their people, including each employee’s complete background and work experience, recruiting, onboarding, learning and development, retention, and separation.
Employee 360 aims to understand each of these aspects while answering some of the following crucial questions:

What if you had the insight and intelligence to train or hire employees to fill a future gap?
What if your employees could assemble a customized curriculum of flexible learning in order to perform better and attain their career goals?
What if you could find patterns in what characteristics your most successful employees share in order to more effectively target your recruiting and development efforts?

Watch our webinar where we invite our very exciting panel of guest speakers to see how Employee 360 is helping various organizations foster a positive employee journey that directly impacts both employee and business outcomes alike. Develop intelligent HR processes with knowledge graphs powered by 360-degree views!

Taxonomy Management 101

Discovering the Benefits of Taxonomies



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

Taxonomy Management 101
The uses and benefits of taxonomies are almost endless: search or browse on website, intranets, and in enterprise content management systems, sorting or filtering results, discovery of related information, content workflow management, visualization of topics, curated content in feeds or info boxes, recommendation systems, and question-answering systems. As taxonomies become more common for information management and retrieval in all kinds of organizations and in various applications, the task of creating new taxonomies from scratch is less needed than the task of managing existing taxonomies.
Do you want to learn how you can take advantage of some of these many features associated with taxonomies? Join our webinar ‘Taxonomy Management 101’ to hear all things about taxonomy management and how you can benefit from it.
Watch Heather Hedden, Data and Knowledge Engineer at the Semantic Web Company and author of the book The Accidental Taxonomist, cover various aspects of taxonomy management, including:

Regular taxonomy maintenance
Taxonomy governance and documentation
Management of taxonomy tagging
Taxonomy integration with end-user applications (including semantic search and recommender systems)
Periodic taxonomy review and revision
Various methods of extending a taxonomy (including linking taxonomies and adding a semantic ontology layer).

An understanding of the taxonomy management tasks makes it easier for an organization to determine resources of subject matter experts, contract taxonomists, a staff taxonomist, or a taxonomy consultant. Learning from the perspective of a taxonomy expert, you can use this webinar to explore the many benefits of a dedicated taxonomy/thesaurus management tool.

Webinar: Building recommender systems that work
2021-08-25 17:30 - 18:30 | RECORDING AVAILABLE
ON-DEMaND WEBINAR

Building Recommender Systems that Work



Speaker
Andreas Blumauer, CEO at Semantic Web Company

Recommender systems are widely used in e-commerce platforms, where users regularly receive unsuitable tips, because they are based on the principle ‘suggest more of the same’. In other words: I buy a couch and get recommended another couch the next time I’m on the website.
The clear problem in this case, is that the average consumer typically does not need a second couch once they’ve already purchased one. While humans can understand this next logical step, a machine recommender system cannot process any of this underlying contextual information so it does not really respond well to individual customer wishes.
As a result of these incompetencies, web store assistants, and recommender systems in knowledge-intensive business processes require different methodologies to provide employees and users with truly relevant information, suggestions, and ‘next best actions’ that are actually evaluated as helpful by the user. Using the same example: a stronger recommendation would mean that since I’ve bought a couch, I should next be recommended a coffee table to complete my living room. A recommender system powered by semantic AI has the capability to deliver these happy customer purchasing experiences.
In this on-demand webinar, we address possible use cases for recommender systems built on semantic AI, discuss scenarios from different industries (retail, manufacturing, software industry and pharma) and look at how recommender systems serve as building blocks to the broader concept of ‘Enterprise 360’.
Watch our webinar to understand the following questions:

How do recommender systems support the automatic generation of holistic and personalized views of business objects such as products, customers, or employees?
What are the concrete use cases for recommender systems and what are the benefits?
How are precise, explainable, controllable, and adaptive recommender systems built, and what role do ontologies and knowledge graphs play?

We show several live demos and sample applications to give you lots of ideas for using recommender systems in your own business.

Semantic Web Company COO, Helmut Nagy, will demonstrate a recommender engine from 8:00 am to 8:45 am PT. Make sure you are there!
Register here!
A Knowledge Graph Driven Recommender Engine
Abstract:
According 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.
It 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.
In this talk, Helmut Nagy will show how such a system is built and works in a real-world example.
Speaker Bio:
Since 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“.

Data-driven knowledge management with knowledge graphs



Speakers
Fredric Landqvist, Senior, Information Strategist & Researcher, TietoEvry/Findwise
Heather Hedden, Knowledge Engineer at Semantic Web Company

In this on-demand webinar, we will go deeper into mixing search-driven and enterprise knowledge graph initiatives to support knowledge management in large Enterprises. This event is presented by TietoEvery/Findwise and PoolParty.

Knowledge networking challenges in large enterprises
New ways govern data with knowledge graphs
Tapping into the knowledge assets—enterprise vocabulary management
Enriching employee experience with search and knowledge graphs

In large, contemporary enterprises, the data landscape is extremely heterogeneous and it’s a daily challenge at the workplace to find knowledgeable peers and codified golden knowledge assets. Enacted data governance that makes sense of the corporate data assets will improve data quality and data management practices. With enterprise knowledge graphs come the capabilities to connect, enrich, augment and automate (AI, ML, NLP) the data fabric—akin to how you can automatically classify and tag content in large Microsoft 365 environments, or how enterprise information management processes clean up and transform data to solid data assets that allow for more robust analytics.

Improving Safety and Reliability in Industrial Operations using Semantic AI

The path towards 360-degree views of an organization



Speakers
Alexi López-Lorca, Semantic Web CompanyZhi Min, YokogawaSimon Rogers, Yokogawa

Shift team effectiveness is critical to safety in the process industries, where ineffective shift handover is a significant source of incidents. The digitalization of operator instructions, operator logs, shift handover reports, and incident management reports, has contributed to reducing risk. However, even though this information may now be stored in a database, much of it is manually entered by operators using natural language. Obtaining insights from the information such as a list of bad actors, or simply searching the information, is challenging because different operators use different nomenclature and abbreviations.
This on-demand webinar describes how semantic web technology can be used to effectively address this challenge using an operations management knowledge graph.
Use this webinar to see how implementing an operations knowledge graph can help your company:

Automatically gather and visualize essential safety related information
Simplify integrated manufacturing operations management
Improve productivity and operational performance in transitional shift handovers
Improve safety in industrial processes

Once built, the knowledge graph can be used to extract and link entities in the operations management database and reports, to enable semantic or natural language search of the information and to link to other information such as equipment data, standard operating procedures and maintenance data. The knowledge graph also allows natural language processing and data analytics to be used to draw insights from the operations data such as a prioritized list of equipment, alarm, and control loop issues. The operations team can then quickly access relevant engineering information to help diagnose the cause of the problems and fix them. In addition to improving safety, this can reduce maintenance costs and increase the availability of the plant.
As a user of semantic technologies, you can not only improve workplace safety, but also reduce maintenance costs and increase effectiveness in the plant.

Auto Classification 101

Optimizing CMS Search with Automated Tagging



Speakers
Florian Bauer, Semantic Web CompanyAli Marhubi, Semantic Web CompanyAlexi López-Lorca, Semantic Web CompanyMaura Moran, Mekon

For most organizations, be it a small non-profit or a tech giant that employs thousands of people, content management systems (CMS) serve as the backbone of their content maintenance and creation processes. While most reliable CMS have their own native tagging and search functionalities, these pale in comparison to the benefits you can get with automated tagging methods built with semantic software.
This is where auto classification – or semantic concept tagging – comes in, because it allows users to automatically categorize and tag content with rich descriptors that enable advanced finability of content in search engines.
In this on-demand webinar, our experts at Semantic Web Company will teach you all there is to know about auto classification and its applications to the business world and take you through a demo of PowerTagging for Sharepoint. They will also be joined by Maura Moran of Mekon to show you how an integration of PoolParty and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) works with Mekon’s Semantic Booster.Their presentation will focus on the following key points:

Real-world business use cases for auto classification
An introduction to PoolParty PowerTagging as the solution, and how it works
How PowerTagging can be integrated with AEM
How PowerTagging can be integrated with SharePoint
The numerous benefits people experience with these powerful integrations

Tune in to see live demos of PowerTagging for SharePoint and the Semantic Booster for AEM!
By the end of this webinar, you will see how you can use auto classification to enhance your CMS with a dynamic, intelligent search engine powered by semantic AI.

How product managers, marketers, and digital sales benefit from knowledge graphs

Four corporate case studies for 360° product content life cycles



Speakers
Andreas Blumauer, CEO at Semantic Web CompanyJohn Kottcamp, CMT at Tahzoo

Over the last year of the pandemic, we’ve experienced a myriad of examples of the breakdown of the supply chain, the disconnect between product, marketing, and sales, and the resultant losses to the bottom line. While we can’t solve all those challenges in one hour, we can tackle the challenge that companies have the most control over: the disconnect between product, marketing, and sales when it comes to creating and managing product content.
If bridging the gap between departments is the focus, implementing enterprise-wide knowledge graphs is the remedy. Our webinar will show you how Semantic Web Company and Tahzoo have partnered together to build solutions that remove disconnect and facilitate better content management.
Knowledge graphs are more widely talked about and understood in the context of helping customers find the right information or product on a website using semantic search. But perhaps knowledge graphs can have their biggest impact on a company’s bottom line across the product content lifecycle, from development to distribution, delivery and presentation.
In this on-demand webinar, we will examine various use cases where knowledge graphs have helped connect the entire product content lifecycle from product introduction to product maturity. And more importantly, we will examine the business value generated by using knowledge graphs along the entire product content lifecycle.
Tune in to hear John Kottcamp, Chief Marketing Technologist at Tahzoo, and Andreas Blumauer, CEO at Semantic Web Company explain:

Real-world examples of knowledge graphs being used in companies
Product 360: What is it? What value does it bring?
Front-end demos of enterprise knowledge graphs and graph search
Key business outcomes and benefits

By the end of the session, you will understand what you can begin doing today to reduce the friction between product managers, marketers, and digital sales.

Webinar: Managing inconsistencies in data processing for enterprise knowledge graphs
2021-12-14 16:00 - 17:00 | TX
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

Managing Inconsistencies in Data Processing for Enterprise Knowledge Graphs



Speakers
Albin Ahmeti, Data & Knowledge Engineer at Semantic Web Company
Yavor Nenov, Chief Science Officer at Oxford Semantic Technologies
Robert David, CTO at Semantic Web Company

The Semantic Web provides a graph-based organisation of knowledge that has become popular in enterprises under the term enterprise knowledge graphs. It allows a lot of flexibility for modeling as well as combining data sets by linking graphs together, which has the potential to solve enterprise data heterogeneity problems in a bottom-up and flexible manner.
When processing and linking together graph data in enterprises on a large scale, ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) processes supporting Semantic Web standards are used for automation. These processes, while being able to handle heterogeneity, have to consider a lot of different complex cases and therefore issues regarding inconsistencies and incompleteness in the data can occur.
To keep control of data quality, we use approaches to analyze and adapt the data so that inconsistencies can be taken into account for further actions or, if possible, the data is automatically repaired.
The Semantic Web provides SHACL, the shapes constraint language, for graph data validation to detect inconsistencies regarding defined constraints and report them for further processing.
In this talk, we present an approach for validation and processing of inconsistencies to improve the quality for large knowledge graphs. We show a prototypical system which implements this in a high performance setup based on the RDFox triple store, where we combine SHACL validation with Datalog rules to demonstrate inconsistency management for practical use cases.

For most organizations, be it a small non-profit or a tech giant that employs thousands of people, content management systems (CMS) serve as the backbone of their content maintenance and creation processes. While most reliable CMS have their own native tagging and search functionalities, these pale in comparison to the benefits you can get with automated tagging methods built with semantic software.
This is where auto classification – or semantic concept tagging – comes in, because it allows users to automatically categorize and tag content with rich descriptors that enable advanced finability of content in search engines.
In this on-demand webinar, our experts at Semantic Web Company will teach you all there is to know about auto classification and its applications to the business world and take you through a demo of PowerTagging for Sharepoint. They will also be joined by Maura Moran of Mekon to show you how an integration of PoolParty and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) works with Mekon’s Semantic Booster.Their presentation will focus on the following key points:

Real-world business use cases for auto classification
An introduction to PoolParty PowerTagging as the solution, and how it works
How PowerTagging can be integrated with AEM
How PowerTagging can be integrated with SharePoint
The numerous benefits people experience with these powerful integrations

Tune in to see live demos of PowerTagging for SharePoint and the Semantic Booster for AEM!
By the end of this webinar, you will see how you can use auto classification to enhance your CMS with a dynamic, intelligent search engine powered by semantic AI.

Moving to a Data-Centric World: Building a Consumer Health Data Fabric

Since the beginning of last year we have been working towards building a data fabric – that stitches together the content, data or metadata from all our sources into an RDF data layer. From this data layer we can get a 360-degree view of all our content. Benefits include improving the search and navigation experience to discover our content. We should also be able to build and deliver new tools and applications much more quickly than before; manage security and access to content more flexibly; and ultimately to bring down the costs of managing our platform. This presentation will describe the journey to build our data fabric, using PoolParty and Ontotext GraphDB. It will discuss our motivations and drivers, the challenges we experienced, and the use cases we are implementing, to make a difference to the population of Australia.

From Unknowable Chaos to Knowledge Graph: Making Complex Information Environments Useful and Usable

With over 2.6 million pieces of English-language content alone, Microsoft Docs is one of the largest documentation sites in the world. From technical documentation to code samples, training resources to community forums, Docs has grown exponentially over the past five years.
However, Microsoft’s information architecture and metadata has not always been able to keep pace. Using PoolParty, the Information Architecture team at Microsoft Docs has been able to modernize their taxonomy management capabilities and give meaning to a complex information environment.
In this webinar, Senior Information Architect at Microsoft Dana Bublitz will walk through how Docs has gone from managing taxonomies manually in spreadsheets to now laying the foundations for automated workflows and knowledge graphs using PoolParty

WIAD22 - A Connected World
2022-03-05 | TX
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.
