Digirati and Semantic Web Company innovate Semantic Publishing

VIENNA - June 12, 2013 - PRLog -- The new established partnership will combine Digirati’s (http://digirati.co.uk) expertise in delivering high volumes of complex  data and content online with SWC’s PoolParty (http://poolparty.biz)  product suite. These solutions will aim to break the mould of  traditional content managed websites and portals by creating a higher  level of content findability as well as flexibility of content delivery.

John Baker, CEO and Founder of Digirati said, “We are seeing a new type of  requirement from many of our customers; they want to think about  ontology first and then deliver content dynamically based on what they  have defined. By  utilising the latest semantic technologies such as  those delivered by SWC’s product suite we hope to demonstrate new  possibilities in this area. What  interests us specifically about  PoolParty is that the philosophy of the product design is to maximise  the potential of the Semantic Web technology stack. This technology is  the obvious choice for delivering large volumes of dynamic content via  the web when findability and the ability to infer relevance is a  priority. Utilising Linked Data also has added benefits to many of our  clients who are now looking to participate in the Open Data agenda,” he  added.  

Andreas Blumauer, CEO and Managing Partner of SWC commented,  “Very  similar to software development, metadata management finally has  become very  agile and flexible. Linked data technologies in contrast to  traditional forms of content publishing help to automate the aggregation of interrelated content. This  highly dynamic way of content publishing  is built on top of knowledge graphs and  controlled vocabularies based on open standards.”  

Knowledge Graphs and Controlled Vocabularies

PoolParty Thesaurus Server is one of the most advanced tools for the creation of   controlled vocabularies and knowledge graphs on the market. It combines   methods based on Linked Data, Text Mining, and Knowledge Engineering. It  enables the use of controlled vocabularies to aid conceptual  virtualization of  disparate data that manifest as semantically rich and  Web¬like knowledge graphs.  

To launch the partnership both  companies will be jointly exhibiting at the  International Society for  Knowledge Organization (ISKO UK) Conference  (London, July 8¬9, 2013,  http://www.iskouk.org/conf2013/).  Further details regarding the Dynamic Semantic Publishing model will be made  available during the event.
