This workshop will demonstrate how vision, concise engineering and 10 years of experience can deliver successful applications of semantic technology. We will present how RDF databases and light-weight semantics guarantee unmatched efficiency in data integration for the publishing industry in two scenarios: as a back-end for the web site of a top-5 television company and as part of Profium’s content delivery platform. Further, we will show how RDF-based data management can be combined with tailor-made text analytics and web mining to produce business intelligence and professional search applications within short timeframes and limited budgets. The agenda will include presentation of the latest progress in our product range: the most scalable semantic repository OWLIM, the semantic annotation and search platform KIM and the life science knowledge management platform LifeSKIM. We will present the reason-able views paradigm for linked data management, which enables the usage of Linking Open Data (LOD) datasets in enterprise applications. The FactForge view includes the central LOD datasets (e.g. DBPedia, Geonames and Freebase) in a repository containing 1.2B explicit statements. The LinkedLifeData view includes 20+ biomedical datasets with a total size of over 4B statements. In summary, the workshop attendants will learn:
• What the key principles are behind an efficient semantic technology application
• What the key steps in building text-mining solution are
• What is the role of different tools and components in specific scenarios and workflows
• How linked data prove that Nietzsche is the most famous German entertainer
• How to locate Modigliani paintings based on linked data queries
