Text Analytics and Olympics

Next Steps (Deckard Suite)

What we are using all this for• Bespoke news feeds• Augmented feeds (e.g. Olympics)• (semi)-automated web pages for customers• News APIs (e.g. entities feed) • Canned queries• Refinement of text-analytics (e.g. ontological proximity)

Thoughts• Comparison with other graph-based approaches (e.g. MongoDB).• Just-another-db vs. using basic inference vs. more-complex inferences.• Dealing with change. Change-sets, corrections, retractions, modelling.• Geosparql benchmarks should be a priority.• Media gets ‘topics’. Some venturing into ‘concepts’.• Provenance will become of increasing importance.

Thank you
