Open Platform to Build Customized Solutions

The Platform’s open API allows easy integration with third-party solutions, while the use of semantic web standards such as RDF, OWL and SPARQL guarantees high flexibility and interoperability.

Using the fluidOps solution development kit and the flexible, data-driven user interface, fluidOps partners will easily be able to develop and build new solutions and apps for different industries and customers. The SDK includes an open API, semantic data integration through data providers, support for OWL ontology modeling and semantic data management, rules and workflows, as well an extensible pool of pre-defined widgets enabling dynamic visualizations and reports.
