Virtual

Join us for a live panel featuring three leading voices in the field: - Holger Knublauch, Lead Software Developer at TopQuadrant and co-creator of the SHACL W3C standard - Mike Pool, Semantic Technology Product Manager at Bloomberg, and former Executive Director, Head of Ontology and Modeling at Morgan Stanley - Boris Pelakh, Expert Ontologist at Semantic Arts.Together, they’ll explore the evolution of semantic modeling, the interplay between OWL and SHACL, and what TopQuadrant’s recent release of OWL support means for practitioners.Is the long-standing “OWL vs. SHACL” debate giving way to an “OWL and SHACL” era—where the two approaches complement rather than compete? Hear diverse perspectives, ask your questions, and leave with a clearer understanding of how to choose and combine these standards for your own semantic projects
