You understand your domain, shouldn’t your database?

Now you can do something with that Ontology

Scale and Performance

Ontology Works enters 2008 with sales of its enterprise-scale ontology-based deductive database, the eXtensible Knowledge Server (XKS), to Federal Government, Department of Defense and Commercial clients. The XKS is being applied to: Drug Discovery; Social Network Analysis; Early Warning of Complex Events; Information Fusion, Intelligence Analysis and other high value uses. The XKS is the latest evolution of Ontology Works products designed to realize the full potential of semantic technologies for information management systems. The XKS scales to large data sets, multiple simultaneous users, and large, complex domain models (ontologies). Ontology Works has since its inception in 1998 aimed at ontology-based deductive systems that meet demanding scale and performance requirements.

If you need to retrieve data, get a database. If you need knowledge discovery, get an Ontology Works’ XKS.

Our eXtensible Knowledge Server Family (the XKS™) makes it easy for users to get the powerful knowledge discovery system that fits their requirements. With the ability to use relational data stores of different types, the XKS™ forms a family of ontology-based deductive databases to suite customers' needs.

Maximum Flexibility for All Applications

The XKS™ gives unprecedented flexibility for our customers, since a variety of relational data stores can be employed to suit project requirements for performance, scale and portability -- and we can take advantage of the customer’s existing database licensing.

Ease of Use – Ask about something, not just for something

Thanks to its inherent high-fidelity model and extensive inference capability, users new to the system or new to the domain can make useful queries without extensive training. You don't have to know exactly where you're going to get started.

Hand Held Devices to Enterprise Systems

Ontology Works’ XKS™ Family can be used for every application from hand held devices to large-scale enterprise systems with large data sets and many simultaneous queries.

Scalable

Our XKS™ model also permits a Virtual Knowledge Server Architecture whereby multiple XKS instances all utilize the same persistence store, giving extremely high rate query access.

The XKS™ Functional Components

• the Server Presentation Layer, our API interface,
• the Semantic Query Optimizer assures excellent performance on complex queries,
• our Inference Engine (PiQuE Engine) provides optimized massively parallel query processing,
• Persistence Store type is based on customer need
