Ontoprise:
Driving Enterprise Decision Support
"The Semantic Web is a vision: the idea of having data on the Web defined and linked in such a way that it can be used by machines not just for display purposes, but for automation, integration and reuse of data across various applications." -the Semantic Web activity statement.
The ontoprise product-suite is the most comprehensive commercially available Semantic Web infrastructure. The highly-scalable products support all recommendations of the W3C for Semantic Web (OWL, RDF, RDFS, SPARQL), as well as the industry standard F-Logic.
With an integrated set of software products ontoprise covers all requirements for an ontology-development and operating environment. Ontoprise offers a complete Semantic Web infrastructure by delivering collaborative ontology-modeling, import and integration of many different models, schemas and structures and through the development of highly scalable products.
- OntoStudio: Collaborative ontology-modeling
- OntoBroker: Leading SemanticWeb-Middleware
The products are SOA-Ready, which means that they can be easily integrated into existing IT-Infrastructures and they are ready to run under multi-core hardware environments. Ontoprise products are implemented in many high profile companies e.g. Audi, Kuka, and Boeing. Ontoprise has also taken an active role in large European semantic web projects. The Neon project, a multi-million Euro project involving 14 European partners and co-funded by the European Commission’s Sixth Framework Programme. NeOn started in March 2006 and aims over the course of four years to advance the state of the art in using ontologies for large-scale semantic applications in the distributed organizations. This particularly aims at improving the capability to handle multiple networked ontologies that exist in a particular context, are created collaboratively, and might be highly dynamic and constantly evolving.
As a company Ontoprise has continuously expanded since being founded in 1999 and now have in excess of 50 direct employees and an active worldwide partner program. As the most mature commercial semantic technology product suite momentum is now gathering pace based on the success of open source semantic technology based tools such as protege.
