Different project stakeholders expect specific
qualities from a semantic technology platform:
13
I am a taxonomist. I need a tool that
provides convenient functionalities and
intuitive user interfaces for my daily work.
I am an information architect. Enterprise
metadata management deserves scalable
technologies, which provide semantic services
on top of rich APIs based on standards.

Maintaining
Vocabularies
Taxonomies and controlled
vocabularies are maintained by
using the SKOS standard of W3C.
The intuitive user interface
provides comfortable control
elements like drag & drop or
autocomplete.
A tree view on the taxonomy
plays a central part in navigation
and orientation.

19. Place your screenshot here
19
SKOS Editor
The SKOS View on a concept
allows the management of
labels (e.g. synonyms),
hierarchies and non-hierarchical
relations, and mappings to other
vocabularies.
Also more complex actions like
merging of concepts, moving of
subtrees or the creation of poly-
hierarchies are supported.
PoolParty fully covers the SKOS
standard of W3C incl. SKOS-XL
and SKOS Collections.

History &
Audit Trails
Every change being made on a
concept of a thesaurus is stored
and can be tracked.
A full history containing the author,
timestamp and action being taken
can be displayed for each concept
and for the whole project.
Recovery and rollback can be
managed by PoolParty’s snapshot
mechanism.

21
Linking &
Mapping
The same concept can occur in
several taxonomies and can be put
in different contexts.
PoolParty provides a comfortable
dialogue for the semi-automatic
linking between concepts from
several thesauri.
Additionally, concepts can also be
mapped to linked data sources like
DBpedia or Geonames, or even to
non-RDF sources provided by your

22. Place your screenshot here
22
Workflows
Approval (or rejection) of changes
on a thesaurus can be governed by
workflows.
Several roles in the PoolParty
system have different rights to
apply changes, reject or approve
those.
A clearly structured dashboard
helps taxonomists not to loose
track of all the tasks that need to
be performed.

Entity Extraction
PoolParty’s API provides a rich set
of methods for text mining and
entity extraction.
This ultra-fast service makes use of
your controlled vocabularies,
therefore it is highly accurate for
your specific domain.
The service will improve over time
and learns from reference text
corpora. It supports over 40
languages and comes with a
powerful disambiguation algorithm.

Custom Schemes
& Ontologies
SKOS is based on a simple schema.
This can be expanded by
additional custom schemes.
Custom schemes can be created
with help of PoolParty’s ontology &
schema editor.
For an increased interoperability,
PoolParty provides a rich set of
preconfigured ontologies like
schema.org or FOAF.

Quality
Management
Data quality and especially the
quality of metadata is key to a
more efficient information
management.
PoolParty Server provides
several built-in quality checks
(e.g. to avoid circularities).
Checks can be executed at run-
time or at any time to generate a
quality report.

28. Place your screenshot here
28
Corpus Analysis
PoolParty can automatically
analyze reference text corpora.
The calculation of a statistical
model of a ‘typical vocabulary’
of a specific domain helps to
suggest candidate concepts for
the expansion of a taxonomy.
By this means, the quality of
term extraction improves over
time and potential relations
between concepts and terms can
be suggested by the system.

29. Place your screenshot here
29
Linked Data
The use of Linked Data standards
increases interoperability of your
knowledge graphs & metadata.
With PoolParty, each thesaurus
and ontology can be provided as a
Linked Data graph.
In return, every linked data source
can potentially be used to enrich a
thesaurus.
PoolParty supports scenarios like
‘Enterprise Linked Data’ as well as
‘Linked Open Data’.
