- Fusion of Semantic Query/Reasoner and Context Aware Full Text Server (FTS)
- Dynamic Schema Management (Dynamic Ontologies)
- High Performance Distributed In-Memory Technology
This translates into three critical features for next generation semantic solutions:
- Superset of SPARQL Functionality
- Inherent SearchQuery Capability
- Speed & Scalability Scale-Out1
Application scenarios:
| Intelligent Information Access |
SBSGRID eliminates the need of having to know the keywords in order to find
information (precise, contextual, associative & unambiguous). |
| Information Linking |
SBSGRID links information and makes it accessible from one place (no separate and user unfriendly "advanced search screens"). |
| Unlocking Hidden Semantics |
SBSGRID retains the hidden semantics from the DB and makes all implicit information instantly accessible. |
| Information Enrichment |
SBSGRID exposes additional dimensions (ex: GEO- or TIME) through its contextual, linked-data factbase. |
|
|
| Cross Database Linking |
SBSGRIDs dynamic schema enables data co-existence over data merging. Separate silo publishing becomes easy.
Data alignment is done any time. |
| Publish Incrementally |
SBSGRIDs dynamic schema allows for incremental, "pay as you go" publishing and alignment of data. |
| Virtual Merging |
SBSGRID links data in a virtual fashion. No hard coded merging needs to be conducted. This is the key going forward. |
| Instant Access |
After publishing all linked information is instantly accessible for the user through contextual queries in a search experience. |
|
|
| Tapping Into New Information Sources |
SBSGRID leverages 3rd party NLP and semantic crawler products. New information is contextually linked-in and made accessible. |
| Access the Deep Web |
Access data that search engines do not find through contextual information linking and crawling. |
| Information Discovery |
Contextual, associative, unambiguous as well as structural search allows for the discovery of information patterns. |
|
|
| Tapping Into New Information Sources |
The information from the DB functions as the corpus for the crawler. New information is
contextually linked-in and made accessible. |
| Access the Deep Web |
Access data that search engines do not find through contextual information linking and crawling. |
| Information Enrichment |
New information from unstructured sources is linked with structured sources. Overall information quality is significantly enriched. |
