Included Modules and Features
PoolParty Semantic Integrator license includes the following modules and features:
Comfortable Editor
The taxonomy editor is very user-friendly and enables also subject matter experts to start working on knowledge models only after a short training.
SKOS Compatibility
PoolParty applies the SKOS standard, which ensures interoperability of the knowledge models. Prior knowledge about SKOS is not required in order to work with PoolParty as the methodology is seamlessly embedded in the software.
Multiple Projects
You can create and maintain multiple taxonomies seperately from each other. You can also merge taxonomies into one knowledge model.
User Management
PoolParty differentiates 4 user roles with different user rights, which streamlines your collaborative knowledge engineering efforts. The function user groups enables you to display projects publicly or restrict the access to it. There is no limitation on users or projects within PoolParty.
Multilinguality
PoolParty uses UTF-8, which makes virtually all encodings and languages possible. The user interface makes it very convenient to manage multilingual knowledge models within one project.
Import/Export (incl. Excel)
You can import your existing taxonomies into PoolParty. The software supports the import of Excel sheets and all common serializations for RDF data. PoolParty taxonomies or sub-trees of it can be exported in different formats as well.
Visual Browser
PoolParty provides alternative views to the taxonomy hierarchy tree. Knowledge engineers can efficiently browse through extensive knowledge models.
Full-blown Extractor API
The Extractor API enables you to do highly precise entity extraction based on a rich set of parameters.The API services can be used instead of SPARQL queries and make semantic technologies accesible to developers with a broad skill-set.
Workflow Management
PoolParty provides effective workflows for the approval of new concepts in a collaborative project setting. The suggested concept dashboard allows the knowledge engineer to keep track of suggestions and encourage review processes in a streamlined manner.
SKOS-XL
This advanced feature allows you to express implicit context information around your SKOS concept in a highly precise manner.
Search Server & Semantic Indexer (Solr or Elasticsearch)
With Graph Search you can develop a highly customized semantic enterprise architecture based on Solr, Elasticsearch or a third-party graph databases like MarkLogic, Stardog, GraphDB or Virtuoso. It is an out-of-the-box solution for a semantic analytics dashboard for structured and unstructured data.
Rollback & History
The taxonomy development process can be tracked via the History Management functionality. By creating snapshots, previous project versions can be preserved and restored on demand.
REST API
The RESTful API enables you to integrate your taxonomy with third-party systems. All data that can be managed or retrieved via the GUI can also be accessed via the API.
Ontology Management
The module allows you to extend the expressiveness of your taxonomy. You can create specific relations and attributes. You can reuse existing ontologies from the PoolParty libary and combine them to custom schemes (views) for your specific knowledge model.
Advanced SKOS View
You have extended possibilities to express relations and contextual information in your knowledge model.
Custom Reports
PoolParty allows to create custom reports and provides a collection of reports by default that can be exported. For example, you can generate a synonym list which can be used to extend Google’s customized search engine or MS Sharepoint.
Corpus Management
You can upload a variety of unstructured documents, crawl web resources and analyze it based on a knowledge model. You can have one corpus per project. The corpus analysis includes concept lists and term scoring.
Multiple Corpora
You can extend the text-mining capabilities of PoolParty by uploading multiple corpora.
Metadata Mapping
RDF data gets matched against the taxonomy. Included concepts can get exchanged or enriched by URIs, which provides a powerful foundation for SPARQL queries.
UnifiedViews for RDF data integration
The ETL tool enables you to transform any data into RDF. You can customize the data processing pipelines by creating your own data processing units (DPUs) based on a defined API layer.
Quality Management & Report
PoolParty conducts automatic checks on your knowledge model and provides you with adequate repair mechanisms. Inconsistencies are comprehensively summarized in reports.
Collections & SPARQL list
Collections allow to collect concept lists independently from the hierarchy of your taxonomy for specific use cases. SPARQL lists are dynamic lists that you can use to show missing translations for your concepts or to derive a set of concepts that share the same relation as narrower.
Vocabulary Mapping
Different departments may need different taxonomy versions. The mapping functionality can automatically detect the same concepts across taxonomies / projects, which can then be linked with each other. Overall consistency is maintained. By linking taxonomies, knowledge models get even more expressive.
Linked Data Enrichment
Concepts can be automatically enriched with additional resources as images or geoinformation from Linked Data sources. You can extend the concepts  also by synonyms, definitions and equivalents in other languages.
Linked Data Frontend
Taxonomies and ontologies can be published and browsed by external parties. Every concept has an URI that can be consistently reused in another context. The Linked Data frontend is highly customizable to corporate needs.
SPARQL endpoint
SPARQL endpoints provide a programmatic interface to query RDF data from a server using the standardized query language SPARQL. For every project in PoolParty a SPARQL endpoint is available.
Autopopulate Project
The autopopulate functionality enables users to create new taxonomy trees from structured Linked Data sources like DBpedia automatically. The result can then be customized to one’s own needs.
Export to Remote Repository
When building a semantic enterprise architecture with PoolParty, you can also integrate external graph databases as MarkLogic, Stardog, GraphDB or Virtuoso. With the export to remote functionality, a PoolParty knowledge model can be exported to these third-party graph databases.
GraphSearch
GraphSearch is an out-of-the-box solution for document search and visual analytics of structured and unstructured data. GraphSearch Server combines the power of graph databases and SPARQL engines with features of ‘traditional’ search engines like Solr or Elastic Search.
Store Extraction Results in Remote Store
You can store the results of the entity extraction from PoolParty to third-party graph databases like MarkLogic, Stardog, GraphDB or Virtuoso.
GraphEditor
Knowledge Graph Management for data scientists and subject matter experts.
Optional Modules
Optionally, you can add any of the below listed modules and features to your PoolParty Semantic Integrator:
Classification
Profit from more accurate classification through a combination of semantic knowledge graphs with machine learning.
WAND
The Semantic Integrator enables you to build a highly customizable semantic enterprise architecture. You can extend the graph database capabilities by including WAND Inc.’s ready-made taxonomies.
PowerTagging for SharePoint Online
The out-of-the-box module enables you to use your knowledge model for content classficiation in Sharepoint. Content gets matched against the taxonomy and highly precise tag recommendations are generated. There are further semantic modules for Sharepoint, which can be used additionally.
GraphDB
The Semantic Integrator enables you to build a highly customizable semantic enterprise architecture. You can extend the graph database capabilities by including GraphDB.
2nd instance for high availability
