Semantics for Enterprise Data

Linking Enterprise Data

Semantic technologies are proving an increasingly important and useful tool for data integration. Challenges continue to arise, such as the difficulties of integrating relational data through current semantic systems and the limitations of auto-categorization when dealing with linguistic semantics, but these challenges are being tackled by today’s top thinkers in semantic technology, and these innovators will reveal their successes at SemTech 2010.

Sessions on Enterprise Data will cover such difficulties and accompanying solutions as the necessity of collaboration across purpose-built software architectures, a method for preventing potentially disastrous effects of changes to information sharing systems, and ways in which semantic technology can be utilized most effectively through augmentations tailored to individual businesses.

Specific methods and systems will also be discussed, including the emerging set of concepts and technologies for combining and integrating data known as Linked Data, as well as a tool for resolving discrepancies across varied information sources known as Ontology-Driven Enterprise Information Lifecycle management.
