New Strategic Partnership
euroCRIS has entered into a strategic partnership with the leaders of the project team of VIVO, an open Semantic Web software application.
Semantic Technology Finds Another Use
New science publications are appearing almost as fast as the digital data that is being created. MEDLINE – the US National Library of Medicine’s biomedical bibliographic database – now lists over 19 million records and adds up to 4,000 new records daily. With that kind of number, it quickly becomes unmanageable for scientists.
Semantic Search Technology Leader Adds V.P.s
A leader in semantic search technology and innovation intelligence software has beefed up their management team. Invention Machine has appointed four senior executives to the company's management team as a strategic growth move.
The Need for a Taxonomy
Many sophisticated semantic search tools build ontologies and taxonomies to organize the data. David Patterson, the co-founder and CEO of Sophia Search, doesn’t think this is necessary and seeks freedom from taxonomies or ontologies.
Semantic Search in Ontologies
One of the important components of many bioinformatic algorithms are semantic similarity searches in ontologies. There are, unfortunately, no algorithms for computing the exact distribution of semantic similarity scores.
Semantic Technology Made Easier
The challenges of managing in-house data, connecting it with public data and annotations, and then interpreting what it all means in the context of the biology research, is something everyone involved in bioinformatics research can attest to. Data interpretation slows down the process.
Department of Defense to the Rescue
Though semantic technology has become much more common in and out of the IT world, it is still ones of those terms that can cause you to lose your audience very quickly. The Defense Department thought so too, so they created an explanation of semantic technology using a brief video to address ontologies, natural language processing, etc. Did I lose you again? Just watch this.
NIST Addresses Smart Grid Standards
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommends a common semantical understanding of data elements to implement the Smart Grid. In draft version 2.0 of its framework and roadmap for Smart Grid interoperability standards, NIST proposed a conceptual model of the Smart Grid. A Smart Grid truly operating as envisioned is heavily dependent on the consistency of semantic models.
Is Semantic Web A Reality?
The IC3K, 3rd International Joint Conference on Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management brought together researchers, engineers and practitioners on the areas of Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management.
Semantic Technology Company Sees Germany as Prime Market
Semantic Web and Big Data Technology company, PolarLake, has opened a new office in Frankfurt, Germany. Known for addressing the challenges of financial and reference data management, they apparently see the German market ripe for development.
