Semantic Web and Semantic Technology Trends in 2019

TopQuadrant's CEO, Irene Polikoff, shares her thoughts on the impact of Semantic Technologies, including Knowledge Graphs, in 2019.

Dataversity: December 5,2018

Achieving Data Governance 2.0 with Knowledge Graph Technology

When you use Google, pick a movie from Netflix, talk to Siri or Alexa, or look for your nephew on Facebook, you’re benefiting from Knowledge Graph technology. DATAVERSITY® recently caught up with the three co-founders of TopQuadrant, CEO Irene Polikoff, CTO Ralph Hodgson, and CMO Robert Coyne, to get their perspective on Knowledge Graph technology and how it fits with today’s Data Governance needs.

The Enterprise Knowledge Graph Phenomenon: What It Means to Artificial Intelligence

According to TopQuadrant CEO Irene Polikoff, some of the biggest names in the industry rely upon knowledge graphs: “Google has its knowledge graph; Microsoft has its knowledge graph. People like Thompson Reuters have a knowledge graph.”

AnalyticsWeek: August 29, 2018

Rules-Based Versus Dynamic Algorithms: The Fate of Artificial Intelligence

According to TopQuadrant CEO Irene Polikoff, “It’s interesting, AI used to be synonymous with rules and expert systems. These days, it seems to be, in people’s minds, synonymous with machine learning.”

Lessons learned from big interoperability in government

“Hodgson and his colleagues have nearly 20 years of experience standardizing data for organizationwide interoperability for governmental entities as diverse as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to purveyors of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The newfound search, governance and regulatory compliance capabilities—and their model-driven approach—are inspirational to private-sector organizations seeking similar benefits on a smaller scale.”

AnalyticsWeek: October 29, 2017

2018 Trends in Data Modeling

“Another important aspect of this is having specification models which underpin what we call knowledge graphs,” TopQuadrant Chief Technology Officer and co-founder Ralph Hodgson stated. “In the knowledge-based approach there is some innovation happening that will drive the provisioning of datasets using semantic technology to organize engineering and scientific datasets.”

KMWorld: March 1, 2017

Disrupting the data landscape again with linked open data

“According to David Price, managing director of TopQuadrant: “Big data shattered the paradigm where organizations would only use methods designed for a single relational database. They suddenly needed unstructured data analysis for big data, along with relational methods to find the proverbial needle in the haystack and a linked data approach to connect things and see how they relate.”

KMWorld: December 30, 2016

The New Face of Big Data

“The world is changing quickly and it’s accelerating,” says Robert Coyne, CMO and VP of professional services for TopQuadrant. “It’s not just that people have to move in a very stepwise fashion these days. Some of them need to make a more paradigm shift because modern enterprises have to be pretty dynamic to stay competitive.'”

AnalyticsWeek: December 12, 2016

2017 Trends in Data Modeling

“According to TopQuadrant Executive VP and Director of TopBraid Technologies Ralph Hodgson, the consistency and adaptability of data modeling may play an even more dire role for the enterprise today:

'You have physical models and logical models, and they make their way into different databases from development to user acceptance into production. On that journey, things change. People might change the names of some of the columns of some of those data bases. The huge need is to be able to trace that through that whole assembly line of data.'”

AnalyticsWeek: November 3, 2016

Underpinning Enterprise Data Governance with Machine Intelligence

“The synthesis of these two facets of the data landscape—enterprise data governance and machine intelligence—systematically produces situations in which, 'You have a lucid view of the enterprise data,' explained Ralph Hodgson, Co-Founder/Executive VP and Director of TopBraid Technologies at TopQuadrant. 'Once it arrives in a place where you can have machine learning techniques and deep learning techniques process it, you’re starting off with a much richer, semantically integral foundation.'”

AnalyticsWeek: September 21, 2016

The Backbone of Big Data Governance: Unified Terminology’s Role in Metadata Management

“Linking and exchanging vocabularies, metadata, and the data that utilize them is comfortably facilitated with semantic models (based on uniform standards all data adheres to regardless of structure) and hierarchies of classifications of terms referred to as taxonomies. 'I’ve done some work in the life sciences and they have huge taxonomies of chemicals and substances,' TopQuadrant Managing Director David Price reflected. 'If they’re involved in agriculture, for example, there will be all kinds of taxonomies for plants and things like that. They have data stewards who are responsible for ensuring that class libraries and the taxonomies they use are accurate and complete.'”

AnalyticsWeek: August 8, 2016

Eradicating Silos Forever with Linked Enterprise Data

“According to TopQuadrant Managing Director, David Price, for many organizations, 'The next natural step in cases where they have data about the same thing that comes from different systems is to try to make links between those so they can have one single view about sets of data.'”

Dice : July 26, 2016

Semantic Technology Experts In Demand

…It’s [Semantic Technology] one of those areas of tech that’s becoming more important as organizations of all kinds contend with streams of information that contain multiple data structures (or no structures) and move at speeds that approach the threshold of mind-boggling. As Irene Polikoff, CEO of semantic data integration company TopQuadrant in Raleigh-Durham, N.C., told Dice Insights: “Pretty much every major bank has a group working in this area.” … “With semantic technology, data and metadata can be stored in the same standard and space. Among other things, that means the data warehouse doesn’t have to be designed in advance.”

TechTarget | SearchData Management: June 17, 2016

Graph technology the beating heart of new data management tools

“Graph technology is popping up in many places, including master data management. … Where relationships need careful tracking, homebrewed graph databases are increasingly common. Master data management (MDM) has been one such use. MDM software vendors use graph technology in various forms, as well, with the objective to improve their MDM and data governance offerings. That's seen in … TopQuadrant's TopBraid platform.”

AnalyticsWeek: June 8, 2016

Enterprise Data Modeling Made Easy

“… According to TopQuadrant CTO Ralph Hodgson, the precision of expression in semantic models—which allows organizations to model aspects of regulatory requirements and other governance necessities—is possible because the semantic model is “the model that is the most expressive thing that we have today. You don’t do that with an object model, you don’t do it in UML, you don’t do it with an entity relationship model, you don’t do it in a spreadsheet. You do it with a formalism that allows you to express a rich set of relationships between things.””

DATAVERSITY: April 20, 2016

TopQuadrant Launches TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance

“A new article out of the company reports, “TopQuadrant™, a leading Enterprise Information Management company, today announced the release of TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance™ (TopBraid EDG). A modular, extendable, standards-based solution, TopBraid EDG provides integrated data governance across the ever-growing types of data assets and governance needs for enterprises. As a silver sponsor and exhibitor, TopQuadrant will showcase and demo TopBraid EDG at Enterprise Data World in San Diego, CA, April 17-22, 2016.”"

AnalyticsWeek: February 1, 2016

2016 Trends in Big Data Governance: Modeling the Enterprise

“… The most pressing developments for big data governance in 2016 include three dominant themes. Organizations need to enforce it outside the corporate firewalls via the cloud, democratize the level of data stewardship requisite for the burgeoning self-service movement, and provide metadata and semantic consistency to negate the impact of silos while promoting sharing of data across the enterprise. These objectives are best achieved with a degree of foresight and stringency that provides a renewed emphasis on modeling in its myriad forms. According to TopQuadrant co-founder, executive VP and director of TopBraid Technologies Ralph Hodgson, “What you find is the meaning of data governance is shifting. I sometimes get criticized for saying this, but it’s shifting towards a sense of modeling the enterprise.””

A Semantic Approach to Big Data Governance

“There is a burgeoning need for a standards-based, semantic approach to data governance. It is responsible for worming semantics technologies from the back offices of organizations to the forefront of some of the most pervasive applications of data and their relevance throughout the entire enterprise today. … By demonstrating tangible relationships between data elements that discern meaning, standards-based ontological models, vocabularies, and terminology systems are a vital means of implementing big data governance in a sustainable way. “Governance depends very heavily on preserving meaning,” TopQuadrant co-founder, CMO and VP of Professional Services Robert Coyne reflected. “In these complex ecosystems of systems, data and people, it’s very difficult to preserve meaning and relate meaning through relationships of things that are in different applications and parts of transactions. What semantic standards offer is an operational way to aid the preservation of meaning.””

Standardized semantics for Dutch education

“Kenniset, a public organization for education and information communication technologies in the Netherlands, has deployed TopBraid Enterprise Vocabulary Net (EVN) from TopQuadrant to support the development of standardized semantics for Dutch education. TopBraid EVN is a Web-based system for managing semantic information models. It supports stakeholders who need to collaborate on defining and linking enterprise vocabularies, taxonomies, thesauri and ontologies used for information integration, navigation and search”

Braiding Big Data

“An apt metaphor to explain big data is the act of braiding. Braiding requires person to take three or more locks of hair and alternating weaving them together. The end result is clean, pretty hairstyle that keeps a person’s hair in place and off the face. Big data is like braiding, because specially tailored software takes an unruly mess of data, including the combed and uncombed strands, and organizes them into a legible format. Perhaps this is why TopQuadrant named its popular big data software TopBraid, read more about its software upgrade in “TopQuadrant Launches TopBraid 5.0.””

Data and Semantics

“The growth of data has taken many by surprise and has impacted how we manage and govern data. We have been seeing new trends like mobile computing, cloud storage, and social media, to name a few. DATAVERSITY brought this news to us in their article, “Smart Data Governance.” According to TopQuadrant co-founder, CMO, and VP of Professional Services Robert Coyne, “We need to get an understanding of things and maintain that understanding of things. And not just between human beings, but between human beings and the systems in which we all use and interact with.”” … Standards based semantics is central to providing understanding between the machines that actually generate data and those that manage it.

Smart Data Governance

“The growth and usage of data have effectively ushered in a new era in Data Management, especially in Data Governance. … According to TopQuadrant co-founder, CMO and VP of Professional Services Robert Coyne, accounting for that deluge of data will require much more than a human understanding of it: “We need to get an understanding of things and maintain that understanding of things. And not just between human beings, but between human beings and the systems in which we all use and interact with.””

Enterprise Data World 2015: In Theory and In Practice

“In many ways large and small, external and internal, the 2015 rendition of Enterprise Data World provided a world unto itself. … It was a world in which Artificial Intelligence lived, the Internet of Things (IoT) was a present (and not future) reality, and in which orderly Data Governance—across vertical industries and daunting regulatory compliance issues—reigned. Many of these people [attendees] were largely unaware of the role this technology [semantic technology] has throughout the data sphere from Data Integration to Data Governance, advanced analytics to the Industrial Internet. According to TopQuadrant co-founder, CMO and VP of Professional Services Robert Coyne: “Semantics is a complicated term and it’s understood in so many different ways. There’s the natural language meaning of Semantics, which is [simply] ‘meaning.’ In this conference people talk about the importance and the need to manage Semantics Data, but they’re not talking about Semantic Technology or a standards based way to enable Semantics. What we have under the covers is a standards based way to manage Semantics, and we can bring that to bear to solve business problems in such a way that it’s more strategic, it’s more flexible, and it’s more interoperable.””

TopQuadrant launches reference data manager

“Yes, it's another reference data product announcement from Enterprise Data World 2015. Indeed, several vendors are focused on improving reference data, even if they weren't launching a new product, considering that it is at the heart of almost all enterprise data and data projects. The latest product announcement, however, is TopQuadrant's launch of its TopBraid Reference Data Manager, which provides consistency in data organization via a simplified point-and-click, forms-based interface.”

KMWorld: December 22, 2014

Taxonomy, ontology and metadata management

“TopQuadrant has launched Version 4.6 of TopBraid Suite, Web-based solutions designed to simplify the development and management of standards-based, model-driven solutions for enterprise taxonomy, ontology and metadata management, as well as reference data governance and data virtualization. Introduced in Version 4.6 is the TopBraid Reference Data Manager (TopBraid RDM), which enhances governance of reference data storage and distribution with the addition of relevant and easily accessible metadata. “

Retrieving and Using Taxonomy Data from DBpedia

“DBpedia … currently has over 3 billion triples (that is, facts stored using the W3C standard RDF data model) available for use by applications, making it a cornerstone of the semantic web. A surprising amount of this data is expressed using the SKOS vocabulary, the W3C standard model for taxonomies used by the Library of Congress, the New York Times, and many other organizations to publish their taxonomies and subject headers. … DBpedia has data about over a million SKOS concepts, arranged hierarchically and ready for you to pull down with simple queries so that you can use them in your RDF applications to add value to your own content and other data. … A SKOS-based taxonomy management tool such as TopBraid EVN lets you revise and curate this data and metadata to support your own business needs as well as managing the relationship between the data you retrieve and your own additions… So, with the query [outlined in the article] you can start pulling taxonomies about any of the huge collection of categories that DBpedia offers, as well as data about the members of those categories—business, culture, science, technology, and more. Even comedy horror movies!”

Semantic Interoperability of Electronic Healthcare Info On The Agenda At U.S. Veterans Health Administration

“The Yosemite Project … lays out a roadmap for leveraging RDF in support of making all structured healthcare information semantically interoperable. … “The approach we have taken in the VA and that of the Yosemite Project is aligned in terms of focusing strictly on semantics, rather than on the syntax, packaging, presentation, and transport,” says [Dr. Rafael] Richards. “Current healthcare standards address these latter components already, but not the semantics issue.” The Yosemite Project and its recommendation to use a schema-flexible model to facilitate the meshing of multiple different models is precisely the approach the VA has taken, he explains. To that end, Richards has aligned data sources for vital signs from different systems by projecting the VistA NoSQL M DB database native schema to RDF, and translating FHIR’s XML and LOINC’s CSV representations to RDF. He uses TopQuadrant’s SPINMap to map one model to another using SPARQL Inferencing Notation (SPIN) and run automated RDF rules. “

WHAT DO RDF AND SPARQL BRING TO BIG DATA PROJECTS?

“The Resource Description Format (RDF), a W3C standard since 1999, describes a data model that can represent most known structured and semi-structured data formats. RDF’s simplicity and flexibility (and its accompanying standards, such as the SPARQL query language and an optional schema language) provide a great infrastructure for addressing many of the issues that make big data different from traditional relational database management.”
