Introduction
What is Semantic Technology?
Web standards to manage data
In fact we should say “Semantic Web Technology”, quite a mouthful!
In short, Semantic Technology refers to a set of web standards like
RDF, OWL and SKOS, governed by W3C. We apply these standards in
web as well as non-web environments.
Because we believe it brings solutions that were not possible before in
the domain of Data Management.

What is Semantic Technology?
Basic principle
The basic principle of Semantic Technology is to encode the meaning
of data separately of the data itself.
The meaning –or semantics – is captured in a model, typically an
ontology. This model offers a kind of dictionary of how to understand
the data.
Advantages of Semantic Technology
Flexibility
This pragmatic approach - of coding the meaning of data separately
from the data itself - offers great flexibility.
The model can be changed without touching the data. No messing
about with tables, no need to adjust rows and columns.
An advantage that will more and more become a necessity in today’s
ever-changing reality.
Advantages of Semantic Technology
Interoperability
Moreover these standards ensure true interoperability of the data. To
exchange your data with the world, or just with a partner. To combine
your data with the information online, and extract knowledge out of it.
The possibilities are endless.
Advantages of Semantic Technology
Reasoning
Since the meaning of the data is coded, software now understands
what your data is about. This allows for reasoning, referring to
techniques that have been applied in Knowledge Management since
decades.
In this way you can still get relevant information out of huge piles of
data. And that scales down the human effort in managing data, a true
necessity with the exponential growth of information nowadays.
