This presentation shares one company’s journey, spanning more than ten years, to build “a killer app for the Semantic Web”. The company has sought to create a tool that could lower the Linked Data learning curve and make semantic computing more readily accessible to everyday web developers and common organizations. Now nearing completion, you’ll get the first public demonstration of the company’s flagship product – a Linked Data Platform. The company’s R&D team will share the challenges and limitations they’ve encountered, valuable lessons-learned, their resulting technical approach, and their plan for the days ahead – useful insights that you can leverage in your own semantic computing solutions.
