Semantic Web - information synthesis technology

Semantic technology page allows companies to provide specific context for data, help them identify or link information from separate sources.

There is no doubt that the Internet makes it easier to find information, but it seems that it can be further developed when searching for a connection between stored data on any corner of the site. there and the facts online with numbers somewhere.

That's where the Semantic Web performs its magic tricks. Data-focused technology makes it possible to add additional notes, and provide context for a wealth of online information. For example, the Semantic Web's tool can help clearly distinguish many meanings of a word, such as the word 'mercury' - both the chemical and the planet, the Roman gold, or the name of a vehicle. Ford.

The Semantic Web is said to hold great potential for changing the way companies find correlations between information scattered through databases and separate software programs. Eli Lilly, Citigroup and Kodak are among the companies participating in the Semantic Web.

Image filtering system

Kodak

Scientists at Kodak Research Institute are trying to help their customers avoid the continuous development of digital cameras. So they tested the Semantic Web technology to use the information gained during the photo shoot, including time, date, and GPS, and then switched to a specific context such as' International Labor Day. at Yosemite National Park '- this can help photographers organize their photos better.

Drug manufacturing

Eli Lilly

For Eli Lilly, to develop a new drug requires about $ 1.2 billion, and about 15 years to bring it to market. The purpose of this company is to cut that amount by 1/3 and shorten the time frame. To do that, it applied the Semantic Web technology to find the link between diverse but discrete information to make better and earlier decisions in the process of inventing new drugs.

Reduce the work of customers

Citigroup

There is also a financial information repository online, and Citigroup wants to find the fastest and easiest way to exploit its orientation. The financial services giant tested the Semantic web technology to reduce customer work and provide the most complete information for business and financial analysts.

"Semantic headhunters"

Countrywide

A few newcomers from Countrywide, a finance company, use ZoomInfo, a search function that can give names to more than 34 million economists and more than 2 million companies. This search function uses the Semantic Web tool to find business information from millions of online sources, such as websites, electronic newspapers, or record archives. It is really useful to identify a middle manager or find a good professional who may be looking for a better job.

So long, Silos

Yahoo!

Like many other companies, Yahoo! leaving information about their different dealings separately, often unrelated to basic data, making it very difficult to focus and share relevant content from multiple sources different. To overcome this barrier, Yahoo! installed the Semantic Web system. When enrolling in this new system, Yahoo in January 2007 launched a personal finance website that provides general information about partners such as SmartMoneu and The Motley Fool, as well as advice. from the financial situation of Yahoo!

Data recovery

IBM

Researchers at the IBM Almaden research center found in Semantic Web the ability to solve information recovery problems. IBM rewrites Semantic search functionality in their OmniFind software to help workers find data even though they don't remember where it was. This tool can also recover buried content such as documents, emails, studies - or even chat content. OmniFind is used in the industry to automatically handle customer feedback and detect products that often require repair or exchange.

Biosurveillance

University of Texas

The Texas University of Health Science Center has created a Semantic Web-based system to carefully monitor the health of a large community. Purpose: to quickly minimize outbreaks of infectious diseases with prevention from the outset.

This system aggregates information from discrete sources, such as clinics, emergency rooms, medical test results, and prescription drug data. After Hurricane Katrina, the University of Houston rescue team gathered information about evacuees and gathered sick people in Houston's clinic to prevent the rapid spread of infectious diseases in city.
