Work on integrating semantic technologies developed in several R&D projects is now progressing at full speed. Expect to see creative new uses of semantic technologies in Nuxeo open source content management products in 2011!

14. Key Enablers
Open Data and Linked Online Data
Advances in automatic content analysis
(linguistics, image processing) and machine
learning
Classical logic and classical AI
Computing power (Moore’s law +
MapReduce)

15. The technologies and data
are available,
Let’s put them to use!

20. Goals for Semantic ECM
Repurpose existing content
Improve search and collaboration
Make information contextual
Extract and use information from your content
Make your content smarter!

21. Challenges
Extract meaning from content
Enrich content with knowledge
Enhance interaction with content thanks to
added meaning

22. Architectural Challenge
Content Stack vs. Knowledge Cake

23. Business value
from semantic ECM
Efficiency gains: 20% to 90% (ex: in search,
collaboration)
Effectiveness gains: better returns from
your assets (ex: news and images from AFP)
Strategic edge: growth, value capture, new
services, gain unfair strategic advantage (ex:
vertical ontologies for CEVAs / CCAs)

24. SCRIBO and IKS

25. Project under the french FUI program, with 9
partners, and a budget of 4.7 M€
Goal: to develop algorithms and collaborative tools
for extracting knowledge from unstructured
documents and images
Started in 2008, finishing in Dec. 2010, with
results already integrated as a Nuxeo plugin

26. European project under the FP7, with 13
partners (6 SMEs) and a 8.5 M€ budget
Goal: create a semantic software “stack” that will
be used by CMS vendors to add semantic features
to their products
Started in Jan. 2009, will last until Dec. 2012
First tangible result: FISE, already integrated in a
Nuxeo plugin

27. Linking Semantic Entities
Apache Stanbol - Nuxeo integration

28. Demo time!

29. How does this work?
26

30. 27

31. • Open Source Semantic Engine
• HTTP Services
• For content driven applications
• OSGi: loosely coupled components
• Analysis Engines
• Knowledge RDF vocabularies
28

32. What is a semantic engine?
• Unstructured content => Knowledge
• Language guessing
• Topic classification (Business, Sports, Media, ...)
• Named Entities extraction and linking
• Relationships and properties extraction
