Taxonomies made Simple

In a world run by data, many organizations struggle to effectively keep track of and use all the data that their company is producing. The inability to access and implement all of the documents, data, and knowledge floating around an organization can cause some real issues for them.
Make Accumulated Data more Accessible and Reusable with Taxonomies.
Taxonomies are growing in popularity and necessity as organizations begin to address the headache that is data organization. With a taxonomy, content is tagged, classified, and can be searched and even recommended!
Semantic Web Company has been helping organizations manage their taxonomies based on a semantic framework for over 15 years. WAND Inc. has been creating curated taxonomies for over thirty-five years. Both companies have now partnered to make knowledge management easier than ever.
Watch this on-demand webinar to learn how the combination of WAND curated industry taxonomies and Semantic Web Company’s taxonomy, text mining, semantic search, and knowledge graph solutions reduces the time to value by up to 90% for knowledge management projects.
The barriers of creating taxonomies from scratch, which have previously caused significant delays to enterprise content management projects, have been eliminated.
In this webinar you will learn:

What taxonomies are and why are they useful?
What does a taxonomy in PoolParty Semantic Suite look like?
Which options do you have to build taxonomies?

From Taxonomy to Ontology
Make meaning with data connections

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
Extending a taxonomy: different approaches to creating an ontology
Applying an ontology as a semantic layer to a taxonomy/thesaurus
Example implementation of ontology-based facets

External Webinar: The Future of Intelligent Content Management, Semantic AI and Content Impact
2022-04-26 16:00 - 17:00
Connecting DITA to iiRDS to get Intelligent Content

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

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.

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.

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.

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 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

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.

Webinar: How product managers, marketers, and digital sales benefit from knowledge graphs
2021-10-20 18:00 - 19:00 | RECORDING AVAILABLE
ON-DEMAND WEBINAR

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.
