4 Semantic Cloud Turnkey private cloud project infrastructure  Configuration Management  System Infrastructure  Orbis hosted private HW environment  Business Intelligence Application development  Third Party Access  Project Tracking  Business Process Management Fee for service model Designed to migrate into client IT Enterprise once project reaches maturity 4 Sophisticated cost and performance driven program environment allows the client to best mange risk “Best of Breed” company selection enabled by an open architecture Sophisticated cost and performance driven program environment allows the client to best mange risk “Best of Breed” company selection enabled by an open architecture

Extended Semantic Services Can Raise Awareness Semantic Web Training  Designed by practitioners for multiple skillsets  Key concepts covered oOntology development, reasoning, technology, etc.  Multiple Attendees oOpen to client participation oHosted by Orbis or held at client location Enterprise Level Advisory Service  Architecture modernization oAssist clients migrating legacy systems to semantic and/or cloud architectures  Insider threat and security assessments  Mobile app migration Orbis Technologies, Inc.

Why Semantics and Cloud? Capabilities examples  Fusion/Information correlation - Interconnected data from hundreds of sources creates large graphs (TB - GB files) that need to be analyzed  Information retrieval and search oCloud provides outstanding query response time, document correlation, data integration,.. Standards implementation  Semantic web standards increase data interoperability  Open architecture oAllows for third-party developers Most efficient and effective approach to incorporating domain knowledge derived from subject matter experts  Key to long-term knowledge management and retention Orbis Technologies, Inc.

Government and Industries With Whom We Work US Military (Army, Air Force) Intelligence Agencies Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) Petrochemicals Pharmaceuticals Medical Device Financial Services Telecommunications Insurance Airlines Orbis Technologies, Inc. Proprietary8

Building Semantic Profiles From Raw Petroleum Data Orbis Technologies, Inc. Proprietary9 Key data elements are identified – creating lexicon of important terms Data elements are categorized into appropriate classes – ranges are captured for auto- classification Can be applied to crude stocks, equipment, refineries, products, processes, etc. Advanced logics allow for reasoning over data sets such that new patterns and information can be gained

Orbis Federated Semantic Approach for Business Business Centric vs. Data Centric Definitions – Taken Separately Orbis Federated Semantic Approach Orbis Technologies, Inc. Proprietary10 Distinct ontological terms (and corresponding contextual information) can be captured in a single federated ontology stack

Regulatory Compliance Orbis Technologies, Inc. Proprietary11 Information Gets Extracted from Various Data Sources and is Semantically Linked Analysis Outcomes & Findings Can be Linked Regulatory Documents and Reports Advanced Enterprise Search (Concepts, Entities, Relationships) and a Document Viewer Backed by Cloud Based NLP Processing Extracted Entities Are Correlated in Each Document and Across Documents

Challenges Working at the Enterprise Broaden overall data analysis effort – All data can be utilized Cloud data dashboard (adopt business intelligence view of data) Orbis Technologies, Inc. Proprietary12 Exploit existing databases and data analytics (Originality, Document Correlation, User Assertions, etc.) to create a dashboard that enables an assessment of the weapon system metrics, health, and trend analysis.

Challenges Working at the Enterprise-Cont. Semantic systems magnify existing data management problems  RDF provides verbose data description, where a single document could result in tens of thousands of RDF triples oEasy to reach billions of triples for a large relational database  Provenance and pedigree highlight issues with lack of data efficacy oAuthoritative and supplementary data sources are either treated equally or require additional logic to resolve-may impact confidence in the results Distributed processing and elastic infrastructure needed for enterprise scalability  Rich analytics can use more expressive logic  Analytics and data are processed together to minimize network latencies Orbis Technologies, Inc. Proprietary13

Summary Semantics requires expansion to other technologies to be applicable across enterprise applications Requires a host of interconnected discriminating products and services  Semantic web-based applications  Productivity driven services  Hosted private program infrastructures  Enabling training and advisory services Cloud and semantic web have a symbiotic relationship  Need each other to scale and demonstrate value Success requires one to define enterprise domains and harvest value associated with enterprise data integration of different kinds for numerous applications Orbis Technologies, Inc.
