The producer of 40% of UK news, Press Association chose Ontotext to enrich all news assets with information on mentioned entities and facts - a service ready to be delivered to their clients. The confirmation they had made the right choice followed soon afterwards when Press Association and our technology were selected to handle the official news for the London 2012 Olympics, enriching them with athletes, disciplines and competing countries.

Now, Press Association is looking into sharing this richness with their enterprise clients, such as AOL, Yahoo!, BBC and MSN.

In an unprecedented act of joint involvement in semantic technologies, ALL daily publishers from the Netherlands commissioned Ontotext, and our partners Dayon, to create the next generation publishing platform. Though competitors in printed daily newspapers, Dutch publishers have decided to make a commercial alliance in order to address the needs of tomorrow.

To realise their idea, Ontotext had the task to create a semantic tagging platform, by sourcing the proper data sets and engineering the text analytics, necessary to build the semantic indices that would drive Newz and 3rd party apps. After this success, more opportunities and more news to come soon.

For the last year and a half Siemens and their partner Publicis have been investing in building a semantic tagging framework, commissioned to Ontotext. The game changer that both organisations had in mind was related to the authoring process - how a journalist or a copywriter creates a wider coverage content.

With our technologies, it turned out to be pretty trivial. Every paragraph submitted to the system in the WYSIWYG editor fired a query returning relevant articles/content from the Siemens' content silos. Adopting this technology would enable big medias to produce more analytical stories instead of the common digest-type ones. Take a moment to figure out which one brings more value.

A leading international business-to-business publisher, focused primarily on international finance, chose Ontotext to develop their semantic publishing platform, targeting macroeconomics, IPOs, bond issuance, M&A deals and other investment-related events.

NetInfo is the leading Bulgarian internet media holding, reaching 80% of all BG internet users. AdWise is a targeted advertisement management platform. Ontotext has developed for AdWise a component to evaluate the relevance of an advertisement to a piece of content (e-mail or web-page), so the platform can show only ads that fit the user's context. This uses content similarity metrics, taking into account specifics of the language, various possible word forms, and the varying significance of words

AstraZeneca is a top-5 global pharmaceutical company. Ontotext has executed a number of successful projects for AstraZeneca, such as data integration of clinical studies, analysis and retrieval of clinical trial reports as well as integration of biomedical databases for identification of drug targets and interactions

AZ is also a long-term research partner of Ontotext in the EU research project LarKC. Learn more what Ontotext does for AZ in the field of causality mining here.

UCB is a global biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of innovative medicines and solutions to transform the lives of people living with severe diseases of the immune system or of the central nervous system. UCB selected Ontotext and the Linked Life Data (LLD) service to provide support for the linked data cloud and leverage its capabilities to help support research questions faced in the drug discovery process. UCB is using LLD to integrate dozens of public biological, chemical and medical data sources into its internal research stream for drug discovery. The knowledge base is a valuable source of research data that may be used to generate and validate complex hypothesis and does this while offloading the data integration cost from the UCB researchers.

legislation.gov.uk carries most types of legislation and their accompanying explanatory documents. It has about 2 million visitors monthly. The Stationery Office (TSO) developed, and now hosts and manages, the legislation.gov.uk site for The National Archives (TNA). The programme to implement the site required content migration from various sources and resulted into a massive 6.5 million documents that are available on the website and this is growing daily. For the first time the government can demonstrate precisely how an Act would look if an Amending Bill is passed. OWLIM is being used to support a new, sophisticated, editorial and workflow management system that underpins legislation.gov.uk.OWLIM was chosen because of its scalability, support for transactional processes and SPARQL 1.1 support.

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) chose OWLIM as an RDF Database for their portal data.fao.org. The portal is an innovative web-based platform that brings together statistics, maps and pictures (and soon documents) on nutrition, food and agriculture from throughout FAO, providing easy access, a powerful search engine and data visualizations all from one convenient location.

“KT provides semantic VOD search service for IPTV and various smart mobile devices using OWLIM as semantic repository. We found that BigOWLIM is suitable for our service, as it has shown good performance for its price compared with other products in the actual simulation tests. Best of all, OWLIM could be easily tested, installed and used thanks to open library, detailed guidelines, and lots of samples etc. By and large, our experience is that the OWLIM is very powerful and reliable high-performance semantic repository. ” – Joo Won Sung, Senior Researcher, Central R&D Laboratory, KT. See the KT: Interactive TV success story for details.

The system will be based on the CIDOC CRM ontology, which supports very generic description of cultural artifacts, related events (e.g. creation, acquisition, curation, conservation), annotations, research discourse. See more

The British Museum (BM) and Yale Center for British Art (YCBA) have selected OWLIM for their semantic repository, because of its high performance for both data loading and querying, strict standards compliance, OWL reasoning and rule inferencing that are useful for CRM, especially regarding complex search. An added benefit is that OWLIM supports the new W3C standard SPARQL 1.1 Federated Query that allows a user to interrogate several semantic repositories at once. Federation can help research communities and projects to collaborate on a certain topic, even when the relevant works and data are scattered in different collections. See details.

In September 2012 Europeana published its API for free access to all Europeana data  amounting to more than 20 million cultural heritage objects from the entire Europe.  A month later the RDF dataset in EDM (Europeana Data Model) format was made available to the public. Ontotext was invited to host the Europeana SPARQL endpoint. Europeana SPARQL end point is a reason-able view of the web of data, loaded in OWLIM semantic repository with OWL-Horst inference and using Forest framework as a front end. It comprises 993 million explicit statements, and close to 4 billion retrievable statements.  It is accessible at http://europeana.ontotext.com, and via http://data.europeana.eu.

Europeana Creative is an European CIP PSP project that started in Feb 2013. It will allow Europeana to facilitate the creative re-use of cultural heritage metadata and content. It will create five pilot applications in the thematic areas of History Education, Natural History Education, Tourism, Social Networks, and Design.
Ontotext will work on the Content reuse framework (core backend component of the architecture) and on Geo-tagging of cultural heritage objects.

Sofia University is the oldest Bulgarian university and hosts the recently established BG-KR IT Cooperation Center (ITCC).
Part of ITCC's research focus includes semantic technology applications to Cultural Heritage, in particular semantic publishing of Bulgarian cultural heritage to Europeana. Ontotext established Bulgariana.eu as a Bulgarian aggregator for Europeana, a networking group for cultural heritage in Bulgaria, and organized 2 conferences.
