The Web is about links…
The Semantic Web is about the
relationships in those links

Vision of Semantically Linked Data
The Network of Collaborative Knowledge
A web of data that can be
intelligently processed by machines
delivering an environment that:
• Intelligent
• Solves Problems
• Relevant
• Answers Questions
• Contextual
• Easily Searchable
• Interconnected
• Let Information follow you
“The next generation of information workers will expect a highly visual, connected,
contextual information workplace they can take anywhere.”
- Forrester

Linked Open Data & Location Services
• Create consolidated “single” views across Web Map
Server Endpoints
• Reconcile differences in data semantics so that they
can all “talk”and interoperate;
• Resolving semantic discrepancies across databases,
gazetteer and applications
• Integrate full breath of enterprise content (structured,
spatial, email, documents, web services)

It’s Not Just about “Linking”
• Integrate domains of knowledge
through common vocabularies (ie
SKOS)
Semantic Aggregation & Navigation of Data
• Manage relationships between
collections of images and
associated metadata
• RDF as flexible and extensible
data model supports powerful
search and end-user discovery of
related content
• Rich platform for data integration,
data repurposing, and better
quality control and classification

Why is Oracle Spatial unique in Semantics
Data Management?
• Oracle 11g is the only commercial database with
native RDF/OWL semantics capability.
• Can readily scale to ultra-large repositories (+1 billion)
• Growing ecosystem of 3rd party tools partners
• Leverages Oracle Partitioning and Advanced
Compression. RAC is also supported.
• Semantics customers expect to deploy very large
servers
