SemTech 2011 Case Studies

[Michael F Uschold <uschold@xxxxxxxxx>]

FYI.  As usual, it is not clear which of these uses ontologies, as opposed to rdf and other semantic technologies. For example, . I believe that the firefighting one does not use ontologies.

SemTech 2011 Case Studies

SemTech features leaders in semantic technology offering real-world examples and tactical take-aways. Our experts go beyond the technical talks to deliver business case studies that highlight real-world semantic technology applications. For the full program, visit the site.

Case Studies Include:

The Next Generation Consumer Business Semantically Enabled for Real-Time Intelligence
Optimizing customer oriented businesses requires real time contextual customer knowledge across all business channels. Bill Guinn, Amdocs Product Business Unit, will demonstrate what Amdocs has accomplished with real-time semantic technology, capable of directly driving the largest businesses in the world. Results include massive cost reductions, improvements in customer care, better retention, up selling, and resource utilization.

Fighting Fires Using Semantic Web Technology
Hear how the Fire Department Amsterdam-Amstelland is innovating the way it deals with information about how fire fighters are called to incidents. Bart van Leeuwen, Brandweer Amsterdam-Amstelland and Adrian Gschwend, netlabs.org will share how the Fire Department uses a navigation assistant which uses Semantic Web Technologies/Open Data and is based on some of the innovative concepts created by netlabs.org.

Linked Open Data for Food and Agriculture Country Profiles
The Linked Open Data cloud allows organizations like the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to dramatically extend and complement the information provided to decision-markers by selecting and integrating resources from the LOD's large and inoperable information base. Marta Iglesias Sucasas and Soonho Kim of FAO share real world examples and insight.

Practical Business Uses of RDFa: Search Engines and Beyond
Best Buy's Jay Myers, Lead Web Development Engineer, will delve into the real-world applications of RDFa not only for search engine optimization, but also as a data source for web applications, to replace/augment traditional data APIs (XML/JSON) with "Human-Readable" APIs that are also accessible to machines, and more.
