Category: Semantic technologies (Page 1 of 72)

Our coverage of semantic technologies goes back to the early 90s when search engines focused on searching structured data in databases were looking to provide support for searching unstructured or semi-structured data. This early Gilbane Report, Document Query Languages – Why is it so Hard to Ask a Simple Question?, analyses the challenge back then.

Semantic technology is a broad topic that includes all natural language processing, as well as the semantic web, linked data processing, and knowledge graphs.

Ontotext announces Metadata Studio 3.8

June 3, 2024 /

Ontotext, a provider of enterprise knowledge graph and semantic database engines, announced the latest version of Ontotext Metadata Studio (OMDS), a tool designed for knowledge graph enrichment through text analytics of unstructured documents. Version 3.8 aids in the creation, evaluation, and quality improvement of text analytics services. With more intuitive and effective search solution capabilities, enhancement to OMDS removes the difficulties users face when exposing semantic search over their documents, especially when they are working with their own, custom reference domain models. Updates include:

  • Enhanced Domain Model Search Interface transforms the reference annotation schema into a user-friendly search interface, allowing exploration and retrieval of content based on the preferred domain data model.
  • Knowledge Graph Enrichment and Extension enables users to reuse their domain models so they can be leveraged for advanced analytics and quality management.
  • Advanced Search Capabilities supports all types of searches. The solution allows users to conduct simple searches such as identifying documents containing specific text as well as complex queries that filter documents based on the presence or absence of certain text and combinations of metadata objects and property values.
  • Improved Usability and Workflow Efficiency enables users to organize content effortlessly by moving documents between corpora or deleting them from the database.

AtScale introduces Developer Community Edition for semantic modeling

April 24, 2024 /

AtScale, a provider of semantic layer solutions for analytics and Generative AI, today announced the public preview of the AtScale Developer Community Edition. This free downloadable version of AtScale’s semantic layer platform allows users to build and share semantic models to democratize analytics. The Developer Community Edition serves as a Universal Semantic Hub, allowing semantic models to be distributed to various AI/BI tools, promoting a connected data environment. Features include:

  • Semantic Modeling Language – An object-oriented modeling language called the semantic modeling language (SML) was introduced to express complex business concepts. SML facilitates the sharing and reusing of composable and versionable semantic objects, supporting an analytics mesh, or hub-and-spoke governance style for users.
  • Business-Friendly Interface – Users can comprehend and analyze data without needing to know complex query languages or database knowledge.
  • Public Semantic Model GitHub Repository – AtScale Developer Community Edition adds a public GitHub repository for pre-built, reusable semantic models, helping users and the community to share, learn, and innovate together, making the benefits of analytics widely accessible. Industry-specific semantic models are readily available for use with any BI tool, offering value to companies seeking to leverage data modeling in their operations.
