Semantic Technology and Web

Taxonomies and the Semantic Web
October 31, 2007

Taxonomies are a fundamental part of the semantic web: machine-readable hierarchies that enable intelligent agents to make logical inferences, making information retrieval an entirely new experience. This session will cover ways in which the semantic web can be used to enhance websites and discuss moving beyond traditional search in practical applications of the semantic web in industry and government.

Topic Maps
June 28, 2006

Topic maps provide a compelling application for aiding knowledge discovery of content that is related without common sets of metadata. This presentation will kick off with a thorough introduction to the origin of topic maps, including the evolution of SGML to XML. We will progress into examples of topic maps in practical use by a variety of industries and finish with a discussion on the interdependencies of topic maps, taxonomies, and OWL.

How do you define Semantic Technology? This presentation addresses a number of important topics surrounding practical applications, including the impact on content management, knowledge management, and collaboration tools, how these technologies relate to taxonomies and thesauri, and short term enterprise considerations.

Developing an Ontology
November 04, 2009

An ontology is both a flexible and exciting way to organize information. In this session, we will discuss such issues as bridging concepts amongst taxonomy, thesauri, and ontology, the details of ontology representation in RDF/OWL, implementing ontologies within systems, and use cases for how ontologies are being used for systems integration and vocabulary mapping.
