Enterprises generate an enormous amount of data and content every minute. This data feeds business applications such as recommender systems, search engines, chat bots, analytics tools, etc. But often these applications do not deliver the expected results, which diminishes the customer and employee experience when using an application. This ends up affecting the potential for companies to have a real impact on their processes and results.
Knowledge graphs and Semantic AI as the (better) next step
With the help of knowledge graphs and Semantic AI, organizations can enrich their data and content with semantic metadata, making it ready to be used across teams and enterprise systems.
Knowledge graphs use a powerful software stack to support the modern data and content infrastructure needed to create smart applications and leverage existing ones. That’s why Semantic Web Company and Ontotext have partnered to provide the blueprint for your success and allow applications to get the job done.
Our webinar will put a spotlight on this partnership and show you all the benefits of working with two of the best industry leaders.
Join Vassil Momtchev, CTO at Ontotext and Martin Trajkov, Business Development & Partner Sales Engineer at SWC as they walk you through the following topics:

How do knowledge graphs make a difference?
How to build knowledge graphs with PoolParty and GraphDB?
How to enrich taxonomies with ChatGPT data?
Common use cases: high performance tagging and agile data integration
Real customer stories to get inspired by

We hope to see you there!

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.

Date
August 17, 2023

There is a growing interest in knowledge graphs to organize information and make it findable in organizations with large amounts of data and content. Unlike prior technologies such as big data or federated search, a knowledge graph has a structure that is typically based on taxonomies and ontologies, and as such needs to involve taxonomists, information architects and other information professionals.
Knowledge graphs have more benefits than just information findability, including discovery, analysis, and recommendation. Knowledge graphs bring together content and data, and both unstructured and structured data. This technology gives organizations the framework to optimize workplace structures and processes, thus improving the employee experience and quality of service to customers.
This webinar explains the problems knowledge graphs aim to solve, definitions and history of knowledge graphs, knowledge graph components (data in a graph database, taxonomies, and ontologies), building a knowledge graph, and example applications that information professionals can use.
Take-aways:

Understand what a knowledge graph is and what its distinguishing features and components are
Recognize the benefits of a knowledge graph
Know how a knowledge graph is built
Become familiar with standards and the industry around knowledge graphs

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.

Fostering Data Spaces interoperability with Language Models and Knowledge GraphsThe speakers present an approach to making use of Language Models and Knowledge Graphs in Data Spaces and Data Markets to foster data exchange and semantic interoperability.
Interoperability and language are the key enablers of efficient and sustainable data sharing among organizations, either in a certain industry or across industries, in the form of data trading or as data collaborations. Semantic interoperability requires referenceable models, including common metadata standards and quality certificates, as well as adequate language resources.
The presentation will explain the principles of Data Spaces, describe pros and cons of large vs. small language models, draw the problem statement of interoperability for value-added data sharing, and present the solution approach – including real world examples – of using Knowledge Graphs and Language Models to foster multilingual interoperability in Data Spaces.

Towards recommendations that actually help
As consumers we are used to recommender systems that give us a series of “Others also bought” or “You might also like” suggestions. In the workplace, these types of recommendations aren’t particularly useful because they often suggest more of the obvious and don’t factor in the requirements of employee queries.
What is a smart recommender system and how can it help in the digital workplace?
Employees have specific tasks; they must write a report based on new regulations, provide customer support for a product issue, and close a deal based on a prospect’s use case – to name a few. To accomplish each of these tasks, the employee must extract and assemble information that fits and complements the specific work context at hand.
Smart recommender systems in the digital workplace do not produce trivial ‘more of the same’ information, but understand to some extent how information actually fits together.
With the upcoming release of the new PoolParty Recommender, we are helping knowledge workers complete their often complex work steps more efficiently and error-free with a knowledge-based recommender system.
The PoolParty Recommender is tailored to your organization and its specific knowledge domain, making them more accurate than any approach using only machine learning.
Join our webinar to celebrate this new release with us, and dive into the details with CEO Andreas Blumauer:

What is a knowledge-based recommender system?
The PoolParty Recommender Workbench: how its methodology and technical capabilities set it apart from other recommenders on the market
Common use cases found in the workplace
Demos of the product, including how it can be used in a front-end user application

After this webinar, you will understand:

How the PoolParty Recommender overcomes the limitations of collaborative filtering and content-based algorithms
How organizations especially benefit from a domain-specific model, AKA a recommender that’s built specifically for you
How to easily integrate the PoolParty Recommender Workbench with your existing software

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.

Great for storing and sharing documents, Microsoft SharePoint is one of the most used workplace intranets on the global market. But many companies suffer from the problem of not being able to find the documents they need within their SharePoint libraries – hence the need to streamline document search experiences.
Getting precise results in a fraction of the time
Alex is a user who is searching for a specific document on biodiversity. She enters the term in SharePoint’s native search field, and gets hit with 7 pages of results filled with inconsistent titles and poor descriptions. The metadata is bad, so a query that should’ve taken only a couple minutes now takes 15.
Now consider how Alex’s experience would drastically improve if the search would return only 1 page of documents and she also had the ability to narrow down the results according to content types, dates, topics, etc. The metadata is good and the search environment has been optimized to ensure that she can get her desired document in the original time she expected.

This is an actual scenario we have tested in our semantic search solution called PoolParty for SharePoint. Join our webinar to see more of this in a live demo!

A taxonomy is the starting point, and it’s likely that you have one in your company already
A taxonomy is championed for its ability to index information in a hierarchically structured format according to the relations between them. It is these relations that help semantic search be so effective, and why a PoolParty taxonomy that sits at the base of your SharePoint libraries could make all the difference.
Our webinar, led by Helmut Nagy, COO, and Daniel Gallar, Associate Director of Sales at Semantic Web Company will walk you through these technical aspects and explain the benefits of PoolParty for SharePoint:

What is the solution?
How can you quickly get it started using a taxonomy?
What are the additional advantages that semantic technologies bring?

In the meantime, have a look at our product page to learn more about how PoolParty for SharePoint can be used to enhance your experience of SharePoint Online.
We hope to see you there!

DITA vs iiRDS
While DITA was designed for content creation, iiRDS is designed for content delivery – a perfect combination.
How do we enhance content creation and accessibility?
In this webinar, we will show how we automatically generate a generic content graph from DITA and then transform it into iiRDS to make the content retrievable more easily. This allows for better and more targeted search results. It is even possible to semi-automatically package relevant parts of the documentation to answer specific questions or fulfill specific use cases.
In addition, Asset Administration Shell (AAS) submodels enable the automatic provision of additional metadata that enhances the iiRDS graph, e.g. directly selecting the right product variant for specific content.
Our webinar is based on work for an international Bolter Miner manufacturer. A use case highlighting the ehancements provided by iiRDS, AAS, and intelligent content will demonstrate how these can provide a service technician with the right information to solve support cases as well as the operator of the machine with the right e-learning material to improve their skills.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are a hot topic, discussed from many different angles. There is a lot of excitement about what they can do, but also a lot of concern about how they do it.
It’s one thing to let generative AI write a poem or the description of a talk (not the case here), but can we trust it to give us the right answers to critical questions or make the right decisions? The clear disadvantages of this approach are the lack of explainability of the results, consistency, and accuracy of responses, the need for large amounts of high-quality data, and the potential for bias in the content generated by the models. 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. The combination of generative AI and symbolic AI can ultimately lead to eXplainable AI (XAI), which can help us in our daily work.
We will show the benefits of combining both technologies, how knowledge graphs and intelligent structured source content can help to create better and more explainable results with generative technologies, and how generative technologies can help to create better knowledge graphs. This combination will lead to the creation of intelligent content that enables deeper understanding and informed decision making.
Etteplan and Semantic Web Company have developed unparalleled experiences and capabilities in creating, developing, and maintaining consistent (technical) knowledge bases for many companies across multiple industries and markets – placing them in a unique position to leverage the true potential of Large Language Models.

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.

What is Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)?
There has been a lot of buzz about the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). We have witnessed instances where the outcomes produced by LLMs are impressive, or at the very least, sound impressive, while at other times, the results may fall short. However, relying solely on an open-source LLM poses a few challenges – the information provided may be inaccurate, outdated, and lack clear sourcing. Retrieval Augemented Generation, or RAG, is a framework designed to enhance LLMs’ accuracy, relevance, and traceability by supplementing user-generated prompts with primary source data.
Leveraging Semantic Technology to enhance the capabilities of RAGAs we have seen, the possibilities for hallucinations (creation of false or misleading information) in LLMs is high. When looking at Generative AI in content creation, this defeats the purpose to assist the knowledge user in content creation by providing quick and reliable information. Worse yet, this poses a serious risk of disseminating inaccurate information in critical sectors such as pharmaceuticals, insurance, and health & safety, where even a single piece of incorrect data can have disastrous consequences.
Unlocking the true potential of Generative AI hinges on building AI you can rely on, or “AI you trust”. This ushers the need for combining LLMs with a myriad of tools and AI methodologies to develop trustworthy Generative AI solutions. Enter Semantic Retrieval Augmented Generation or Semantic RAG – a specialized technique in Advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation that leverages Semantic technology to seamlessly fuse knowledge models and retrieved data during the content generation process.
Watch our webinar to dive into details of Semantic RAG, such as:

Overcoming the limits of LLMs
Combining LLMs with other tools to create “AI you trust.”
Building Generative AI on a strong Semantic base
Developing a Domain Knowledge Model
Semantic Search and Vector Search in Generative AI

Following this 30-minute webinar we will have an interactive question and answer period in which you can ask Andreas Blumauer any questions you may have about Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), Semantic RAG, and Generative AI.
