The complex problems we face today involve knowledge and datasets growing in size at unprecedented rates. In government to identify threats, in finance to detect fraud, in e-commerce to provide contextual services according to individual profiles, in life sciences to discover new medicines from genome data, the problems we are trying to solve with computers are too complex to do with traditional database technology.

Metadata and Semantic Technologies are one of the exciting new ways to represent and retrieve your knowledge. Franz has developed a new product line designed to tackle large scale business problems today. At the heart of this package is AllegroGraph, the premier commercial scalable RDF triple store in the market today with advanced query and reasoning capabilities.

Last month, the focus of our seminar was querying with SPARQL.**

The focus of this upcoming seminar will be on reasoning with RDFS++ and with Prolog. RDFS++ is a practical subset of the OWL description logic that allows for fast reasoning over large datasets.

Space is limited, so please R.S.V.P. to [email protected] as soon as possible.
