Contextual and Associative

Analytics Dynamic and associative information spaces inherently hold analytical information and cubes which

are multi-dimensional and adaptive

1. Introduction

SBSGRID brings dynamic and associative vector spaces on Linked-Data1. Active contextual information (a semantic

query) automatically calculates and aggregates along the filtered dimensions. Cubes and graphical information can be

shown along the resultsets which match the semantic query. A google type interface allows for ad-hoc queries without

having to know the right keywords or query procedures.

2. Characteristics

Query phrases are arbitrary composable, can be fuzzy or precise.

Google type interface approach for ad-hoc queries

Semantic suggest list (semantically categorized) and context maps during typing

Dynamic queries in the background which walk the information graph (multi-dimensional; any direction; any

level)

Open and dynamic schema (multiple virtual information models in parallel)

Complex relationships (database schemas) are published into polymorphic roles (graph structures). They are

automatically discovered by the SBSGRID reasoner and handled accordingly (queries are context aware).

No hard-coded logic. No query development. Instead declarative and explicit statements (facts) for information

structure alignment.
