Information Integration Intelligence with TopBraid Suite SemTech, San Jose, Holger Knublauch

2 About Myself Computer Scientist (PhD, 2002) Post-Doc at Stanford –Lead developer of Protégé-OWL 2006-now TopQuadrant, Inc. –VP, Product Development –Lead developer of TopBraid Suite

3 Information Integration Intelligence Heterogeneous data and schemas –Databases –Spreadsheet files –XML files –Newsfeeds –Online resources (HTML, GRDDL, RDFa) –Web services and data endpoints How to get integrated views to support business intelligence?

4 Why Semantic Technology Class and property definitions (RDFS) Open architecture (URIs, triples, etc) Designed for linking (sameAs etc) Schema reuse (subClassOf etc) Explicit definitions of “semantics” (DL) Self-describing data (generic tools, discovery, schema evolution) Cross-schema querying (SPARQL)

5 Outline Overview of TopBraid Suite Example/Demo: Information Integration Solution Preview: Upcoming new features

6 TopBraid Feature Categories Import (Legacy data, SemWeb data) Processing (Editing, querying, transforming) Export (Converting, browsing, visualizing) SPARQLMotion (Scripting Language)
