Semantic Innovations, LLC specalizes in advising, developing and deploying semantic technololgies. These technologies are enabled by emerging knowledge reprentation standards such as RDF and OWL, which provide a formal representation language to model your data. This allows the semantics, or meaning, of your data to be specified, allowing advanced searching and browsing using logical reasoning.

Semantic Innovations, LLC offers consulting services in a variety of areas using semantic technologies including digital media content management, knowledge representation and reasoning, semantic relationship ranking and discovery, etc. Below are publications and talks that are related to some of the areas we offer consulting in.
