fluidOps Presents Semantic Technology Platform to Enable On-Demand Access to Big Data at NoSQL Now!

Aug. 13, 2012 - PRLog -- WALLDORF, Germany – fluid Operations, the leading provider of innovative cloud and data management solutions, will present at NoSQL Now! 2012 its Information Workbench® platform which leverages semantic technologies to enable on-demand access to Big Data. The event takes place from August 21 to 23 at the Convention Center in San Jose, California. NoSQL Now! is a conference covering the dynamic field of NoSQL (Not Only SQL) technologies and it is intended for every enterprise that needs to find better, faster and cheaper solutions to manage its fast growing databases and data stores.

Big Data Means More than Volume
By applying semantic technologies and the Linked Data paradigm, the Information Workbench, a highly customizable and flexible platform, enables users to access heterogeneous, distributed Big Data and allows for (1) the discovery of relevant data sources (tapping into the Linked Open Data cloud and other open data sources), (2) the automated integration and interlinking of sources, and (3) the on-demand and interactive exploration and analysis of data. This allows enterprises to deal with the volume of the data they are faced with, and to also address other challenges entailed by Big Data – i.e. the complexity of data schemas and structures and the variety of data (range of data types, sources).

Companies from different industries including the Life Sciences and Publishing & Media are already taking advantage of the value adds delivered by the Information Workbench which:

-   provides a semantic end-to-end connection between users and data sources
-   seamlessly integrates data spread across multiple distributed data sources and provides a unified view on isolated data silos
-   crosses the chasm between enterprise-internal and public data, thus making public knowledge available internally
-   leverages semantic technologies for improved search, presentation, and collaborative augmentation of data
-   enables users to integrate and explore Linked Open Data on-demand and rapidly formulate intuitive queries using familiar vocabularies and conceptualizations
-   allows for the processing, publishing and reuse of Big Data
-   allows users to rapidly build innovative Linked Data applications using W3C standards like RDF and SPARQL

On August 23, Peter Haase, Lead Architect at fluidOps, will be holding a presentation at the NoSQL Now! 2012 entitled On-Demand Access to Big Data through Semantic Technologies.
