In many companies, large amounts of knowledge are hidden in different data silos. In order to enhance the value of this knowledge, the seamless integration of existing information and databases as well as the intelligent semantic search across the whole integrated dataset is required. Through semantic search, a user obtains information embedded in a larger context of meaning. Metadata (data about data) make this information available, interpretable, researchable, manageable and reusable. An important aspect of semantic search is the annotation of data – the ability to establish semantic links between information deriving from multiple data sources. This information can stem from both company-internal and company-external data sources or from data sources freely available on the Web.
Search – Find – Discover
With the Information Workbench, fluid Operation delivers a highly customizable platform for the management of Linked Data and Big Data. The solution supports the semantic integration of heterogeneous data sources across the borders of individual domains, semantic search and semantic analysis across the whole dataset, as well as advanced functionalities for visualization and exploration of previously unknown relationships.
