Ontology Works

Ontology Works is a product company offering a broad suite of semantic technologies including deductive information repositories (our Ontology Works Knowledge Servers), semantic information fusion and cost effective semantic federation of legacy databases, ontology-based domain modeling, and management of the distributed enterprise. These technologies have a strategic impact on enterprise information management. Semantic technologies literally give your information more meaning, placing information in a richer context so you make sense of your information and answer questions that drive high-value decisions. So, are the Ontology Works' Knowledge Servers databases?

Who is using Ontology Works?

Our products and capabilities are cost effective for strategic and tactical implementations providing invaluable knowledge discovery and low life cycle costs.

  • National Intelligence - Intelligence Analysis - modeling systems no other software can and answering complex, high-value analytic queries.
  • Pharmaceuticals - Accelerating Drug Discovery - sanofi-aventis uses our deductive systems as part of its drug discovery activities.
  • Department of Defense - Global Enterprise Resource Management – Situational awareness of distributed information resources.
  • Federal Agencies - Indications and Warning for Anomalous Event Detection – Our software and services are used in Indications and Warnings for early disease outbreak detection and other decision-critical events.
  • Federal Agencies - Business Process Control – Our semantic technologies are applied to reasoning over complex policy and regulation for emergency response scenarios.

Our Products, Capabilities and Services include:

  • Enterprise-scale ontology-based deductive databases – Get knowledge discovery, not just data retrieval, with our eXtensible Knowledge Server – XKS.
  • The companion Integrated Ontology Development Environment – IODE. You understand your domain, why shouldn't your database? The IODE enables the creation of high fidelity models of the things you care about – your knowledge domain – that are instantiated in our HPKS.
  • Ask more and more interesting questions of your existing database. The Remote Knowledge Server – RKS - enables semantic access to an existing database providing more flexibility and higher value query than the original database while leaving it in place.
  • Capabilities – Ontology Works capabilities are being used on current programs:
    • Converting “stove pipes” into a coherent enterprise information resource - cost-effective Semantic Federation of legacy databases.
    • Change engines with the plane in flight – Strategies for migrating to the power of semantic technologies without disrupting day-to-day needs.
  • Assuring project success – We provide the training and support with ontologists, logicians, developers and field engineers to support implementation.
