10 Business Solutions based on Linked Data and Semantic Technologies

2013: Linked data technologies have matured, linked data community has grown, interest both from private industry and from the government is considerable. A key questions that I get asked again and again is: which business solutions can be built based on linked data? Here is ‘our’ list of 10 solutions:

Semantic FAQ-System

PoolParty has its brandnew FAQ-system to find answers for frequently asked questions instantly. The system helps to find questions, answers and corresponding pages in the documentation – with a little help from semantics: the FAQ-system is based on PoolParty PowerTagging and automatic content recommender for Confluence and can be seen as a ‘general approach’ for … Continue reading »

The PoolParty approach for efficient knowledge modeling is based on methods from text analytics and text mining linked data management SKOS thesaurus modeling ontology engineering and semantic wikis and recombines these techniques to a unique approach to create complex knowledge models which can be further used for all of the above mentioned tasks, semantic search, … Continue reading »

Using DBpedia to generate SKOS thesauri

In recent years, we have constantly discussed the application of thesauri and other knowledge models to improve search. Many people understand that thesaurus based search is in many cases better than search algorithms purely based on statistics. Of course the big contra always was, “the costs are too high to establish a good-enough thesaurus or … Continue reading »

Some videos, mind maps and podcasts about the Social Semantic Web

Why mockups are essential for semantic applications design

Applications based on semantic technologies offer new ways to discover, browse and explore information – this is for sure. But how can we (as a semantic web “insider”) explain these potential benefits to a typical end-user, who has never heard anything about “faceted search” before (which doesn´t mean that he wouldn´t love intelligent user interfaces … Continue reading »

Freebase Parallax: Browsing ad infinitum

Just recently an inspiring new user interface came out, which gives users an idea, that “googling” the web isn´t the ultimate way to find information on the web: Freebase Parallax by David Huynh. David was also strongly involved in some projects of CSAIL at MIT which also dealt with the “simple” question: How to make … Continue reading »

While I am still waiting for an invitation from Twine  (probably you too?) I have received one from Powerset – natural language search.
