Workshop on ontology-supported business intelligence, Karlsruhe, Germany
26 October 2008 - 26 October 2008
Germany
The EU-funded ACTIVE ('Enabling the knowledge powered enterprise') and MUSING ('Multi-industry, semantic-based next generation business intelligence') projects are organising a workshop on ontology-supported business intelligence (OBI'08) on 26 and 27 October in Karlsruhe, Germany.
The workshop aims to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from both academic and commercial backgrounds in this emerging application area for semantic technology. It will also serve as a facilitator for bringing business intelligence and data mining research closer to the semantic web community.
As semantic technology is becoming more mainstream, large companies are beginning to adopt semantic web standards and approaches. Business people are asking the question 'What can the semantic web do for me?' Business intelligence is a key area where semantic technology can help solve real business problems. Applications include:
- eDiscovery, i.e. the identification of material required for regulatory reasons;
- customer relationship management, e.g. analysing trends in customer behaviour;
- enterprise performance management, e.g. analysing sales, services or financial data;
- financial risk management, e.g. complying with regulations, data interoperability via ontologies, and analysis of company performance.
The workshop will be co-located with the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2008; 26 to 30 October).For further information, please visit:
