3. Who is Semantic Software
• An Australian Company with HQ in North Sydney
• Owned by over one hundred and thirty private investors
• Developed a Semantic Interoperability Platform
• Created a strong and strategic patent portfolio that has patents &
patent applications in Australia and the United States
• Implemented a training division called Semantic Academy for the
delivery of technical workshops, executive presentations and training
modules for Tertiary Institutions

4. Evolution of the World Wide Web

5. Current Data Issues
• CURRENT DATA ISSUES
• Rigid Data Structures
• Distributed Data Sources
• Unstructured Data
• Limited Context , Meaning, Sources
• Growth of Social Collaboration
• Resource Requirements to Manage

6. How many devices record information?

7. How much Information does the bank use
to manage clients needs?

8. How Integrated is Data in Government ?

9. Internet of Things (IoT)
• The IoT is a giant network of connected
“things” (which also includes people).
• The relationship will be between people-
people, people-things, and things-things.
• ISSUES
• Security
• Technology & Interoperability
• Privacy, IP and Data Sharing
• “Data lake” Storage Requirements
• Unstructured data
• Data interoperability
• Meaningful Analysis of Data

10. Internet of Things (IoT)

11. Internet of Things & Cognitive Computing
• IoT is already overwhelming data analytics
• Driving the need for cognitive computing
• Cognitive computing requires
• A semantic knowledge base for meaning
• Natural Language Processing to ingest unstructured data
• Algorithmic methods to make propositions
• Machine Learning to improve propositions

13. Evolution of Data Mining Technologies

14. What is Semantic Computing
• Semantic Computing is at the core of Cognitive Computing processes, and is
enhanced by other Artificial Intelligence techniques such as Natural Language
Processing and Machine Learning
• Semantic Computing is the facilitator of key IT Tools of the future providing
INTEROPERABILITY and CONTEXT
• The Key elements that engage with Semantic Computing include:
• Internet of Things (IoT)
• Big Data & Analytics
• Cloud Computing
• Collaborative /Social Media

15. Concepts in Semantic Computing
“I got a great shot
of an elephant at a
zoo.”
Semantic Software 16

16. Concepts in Semantic Computing – RDF Resources
• Data is transformed into granular facts describing “Resourses”
• These facts are expressed in Subject–Predicate–Object form, called Triples
• Subjects and Objects are Resources
• The Resource Description Framework (RDF) defines the above
• Example:
• “I got a great shot of an elephant at a zoo.”
• Nouns = I, shot, elephant, zoo
• Verbs = got, shot
• Preposition = of, at, are
• RDF Triples generated:
• I got a shot
• I shot an elephant
• I was at the zoo
• An elephant was at the zoo
• The shot occurred at the zoo Semantic Software 17

17. Concepts in Semantic Computing - Ontologies
• An Ontology is a dataset of “rules” that describe a domain of knowledge
• They use RDF formats
Semantic Software 18
Zoo Ontology FOAF Ontology Photography
Ontology
A zoo houses
animals
I means a person Cameras make
photos
Elephants are
animals
People is the plural
of person
A shot is a photo
People take photos

19. Semantic Web Stack
• "The Semantic Web is
an extension of the
current web in which
information is given
well-defined meaning,
better enabling
computers and people
to work in
cooperation."
-- Tim Berners-Lee

20. The “Intelligent” Web
Semantic Software 21
Professor Sir Tim Berners-Lee
(inventor of WWW and Semantic
Web)”
• 1999 “we don’t know how to
do trust, security and proof
• In 2006, TBL and colleagues:
"This simple idea...remains
largely unrealized".
• Rust, security and proof
recently reaffirmed as
“unrealized technologies”

• Monetary: profit / loss, assets / liabilities, equity
• Law and Jurisdiction
• Government, regulatory environment
• Contracts, agreements, commitments
• Products and Services
• Other e.g. geopolitical, logistics
Key areas for decision making that Semantic Computing supports

24. Semantic Computing in Finance
• customer-focus
• risk management
• increase flexibility
• combining disparate sources
• regulatory reporting
• insider trading controls
• data governance
• accessing information quickly

25. Benefits of Semantic Computing to Government
• Comprehensive Interaction with the Public
• Supports Policy Development
• Supports Integrated National Security
• Manages Risk, Governance and Compliance
