Semantic Web Semantic Technologies Center

Semantic Technologies are designed to extend the capabilities of information on the Web and enterprise systems to be networked in meaningful ways. The adoption of World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) standards like XML, RDF (Resource Description Framework) and OWL (Web Ontology Language) serve as foundation technologies to advancing the adoption of semantic technologies.

Oracle Spatial 11g introduces the industry's first open, scalable, secure and reliable RDF management platform. Based on a graph data model, RDF triples are persisted, indexed and queried, similar to other object-relational data types. The Oracle 11g RDF database ensures that application developers benefit from the scalability of Oracle 11g to deploy scalable and secure semantic applications. Application areas include:

  • Life Sciences: Biological pathway analysis, discovery and enhanced search.
  • Defense & Intelligence: Data and content integration, reasoning and inference.
  • Enterprise Application Integration: Data and systems integration, semantic enterprise integration and semantic web services.
  • CRM/ERP: Supply chain integration, sourcing optimization and customer service automation.

Application developers can now use the power of the Oracle 11g Database to design and develop a wide range of semantic-enhanced business applications.

For Oracle 11g—Inference Best Practices with RDFS/OWL an Oracle White Paper providing inference best practices information for RDFS and OWL using Oracle Database 11g Semantic Technologies.

The paper begins with recommendations for preparing to work with semantic data and Oracle Database tuning considerations. Then, it provides some best practices to inference using a RDFS rulebase, RDFS++, OWLSIF, and OWLPrime rulebases, considerations for RDFS rulebase, RDFS++, OWLSIF, and OWLPrime rulebases, considerations for RDFS rulebase, RDFS++, OWLSIF, and OWLPrime rulebases, considerations for RDFS rulebase, RDFS++, OWLSIF, and OWLPrime rulebases, considerations for .—February 2008 (PDF 133KB)
   
  for Oracle 11g—Semantic Data Integration for the Enterprise an Oracle White Paper. "In the Semantic Web, data is defined and linked in a way that enables its use for more effective discovery, automation, integration, and re-use across various applications.

The data representations defined by Semantic Web initiatives can be seen as the next step in the evolution of data management....Oracle offers an open database management platform for RDF-based applications that serves as a foundation for a new generation of enterprise-class semantically-enabled business applications."—July 2007 (PDF 2.1MB)
   

METATOMIX'S Semantic Middleware Platform Enables Customers To Leverage Oracle® Database 11g Semantic Technology—September 10, 2007, Metatomix (HTML)
