Two Key Ingredients
1. RDF – Resource Description FrameworkGraph based Data – nodes and arcs Identifies objects (URIs) Interlink information (Relationships)
2. Vocabularies (Ontologies) provide shared understanding of a domain organise knowledge in a machine-comprehensible way give an exploitable meaning to the data

Business Intelligence
Business Insight Platform Provides timely, actionable
intelligence and diagnosis on the health of online communities
– e.g. enterprise social media networks, discussion forums
where user behaviour and user-generated content underpin core commercial services
– e.g. customer relationship management, technical support

Data Integration Technologies
Semantic Data Enables applications to
discover, transform and consume “structured” data.
– Semantic data– Linked Open Data– Microformats– Enterprise Data
Value Proposition– Extremely low cost Vs
“classical” data integration techniques
– Rapid time to deployment– Immense Scalability on
commodity hardware
Novelty– Combines index based
applications with novel semantic methods
– Large Scale Data processing– Entity Consolidation– Information Retrieval– Data Visualisation
Integration Platform
Digital Enterprise Research Institute www.deri.ie
Data Integration Technologies
Sindice State of the art
infrastructure to process, consolidate and query the Web of Data
Sigma Brower, Mash-up generator, API Sigma can be used by humans
and software agents alike to obtain structured data about any entity

Data Integration Technologies
PPEPR Plug and play electronic
patient records– Semantic Middleware used to
integrate patient record systems.
– Significantly reduced integration costs
“Sqwelch” Create customized integrated
applications on the web using intercommunicating web widgets.
– Codeless application composition – Distributed integration platform
through widgets– Ease of integration through
semantics– Enables hot swapping of components
