 Intelligence Agencies – (Cyber Terrorism, Counter Terrorism)

 Air Force – Enterprise Vocabulary Team
 FAA – NextGen
 Eli Lilly - Antibodies Discovery
 Dynamically federate data from relational databases, web sources, LDAP
servers, etc.
 Before: multiple queries through multiple user interfaces to multiple systems
were required to get “360 degree” view of an antibody
 J&J Vistakon – Predictive Quality Assurance
 Innovatia – Call Center Support
 TopQuadrant

 How Semantic Web Technologies Deliver Value

1. Canonical data  Subject-Predicate-Object Triples

2. Identifiers  Composition Construct for Aggregations

3. Schemas are also expressed in Triples and can be

queried using same query language – SPARQL

4. Evolvability – schemas, vocabs and datasets can

readily evolve

 How Semantic Web Technologies help
“Connect the Dots”
 They capture, align and resolve the data semantics
of different data sources through:
 Flexibility of the RDF data model and
 Rich modeling formalisms of OWL and
 A standards-based approach

Data Data

 Different Reasons to “Connect the Dots”

1) 360 Degrees View

More about the same thing

A
2) Transitive Connections
B What is linked to a thing of
interest
C
3) Information Discovery
A
Find things that share common
attributes or relationships
