Ontotext releases Metadata Studio 3.2

Ontotext, a provider of enterprise knowledge graph (EKG) technology and semantic database engines, released Ontotext Metadata Studio version 3.2. The metadata management and tagging control solution helps organizations to transform content into knowledge. Users can utilize the taxonomical instance data in their knowledge graph to achieve explainable and customizable out-of-the-box taxonomy-driven tagging.

Ontotext Metadata Studio 3.2 makes it easy for users to determine whether a use case could be automated or not across any third-party text mining service, simplifies orchestrating complex text analysis across third-party services, and evaluates their quality against internal benchmarks or against one another.

With version 3.2, Ontotext Metadata Studio enables non-technical end users to create, evaluate, and improve the quality of their text analytics service by tagging and linking against their own business domain model. With extensive explainability and control features, users who are not proficient in text analytics techniques can understand the causal relationships between the underlying dataset, the specific text analytics service configuration, and the final output.

This enhancement enables efficient user intervention, making the human truly in the loop and completely in control of the whole extraction process. Ontotext Metadata Studio is domain neutral and applicable for various domains and use cases.

Ontotext releases GraphDB 10.2

Ontotext, a provider of enterprise knowledge graph (EKG) technology and semantic database engines, launched GraphDB 10.2, an RDF database for knowledge graph. GraphDB enables organizations to link diverse data, index it for semantic search, and enrich it via text analysis to build large scale knowledge graphs. With improved cluster backup and cloud support, GraphDB lowers traditional memory requirements, and provides a more transparent memory model.

Users can oversee system health and diagnose problems easier using industry-standard toolkit Prometheus or by monitoring performance directly within the GraphDB Workbench itself. The solution also includes support for X.509 client certificate authentication for greater flexibility when accessing a secured GraphDB instance.

Backups can also be stored directly in Amazon S3 storage to ensure the most up to date data is securely protected against inadvertent changes or hardware failures in local on-prem infrastructure.

Internal structures and moved memory usage from off-heap to the Java heap were also redesigned for a more straightforward memory configuration, where a single number i.e. (the Java maximum heap size) controls the maximum memory available to GraphDB. Memory used during RDF Rank computation was also optimized making it possible to compute the rank of larger repositories with less memory.

DeltaXML eases HTML table comparison with XML Compare 14

DeltaXML announced the release of Version 14 of XML Compare, which now includes table comparison improvements to HTML tables. This new version features a major update to the way HTML tables are handled when comparing tables and reporting differences as well as new capabilities to ensure you get the best results when processing tables.

New HTML table capabilities include both ordered and ‘orderless’ columns. By default, column order is significant so if column order changes, that is flagged up in the results. But if column order doesn’t matter, you can now figure the comparison to ignore column order and it will align them differently in the result. Another new feature is Column Keying allowing you to control the way in which columns are aligned.

Improvements include the way changes to spans are handled enabling finer-grained results for cells and rows and improved display and understanding. When a column moves, is added or deleted, improvements to Column Alignment provides a new result which makes more sense and is immediately apparent to the viewer and easier to understand.

These xHTML table enhancements are now in the process of being rolled out to DeltaXML’s DITA Compare and DocBook Compare products.
