Semantic Sciences Pty Ltd 

 
  Description

Semantic Sciences works in the areas of knowledge management and situation analysis.  It is creating and exploiting technologies for use by government and commerce to enable rapid analysis of historical and real-time data to yield high value actionable information. 

Knowledge Management

Conventional knowledge management systems are based on keyword search over an enterprise's internal data.  Semantic Sciences technology has advanced on this approach by providing tools for:

  • Semantic Search:  where we provide search query interfaces that enable search results to be restricted selected ontology classes as well as by keyword.  Ontology classes can be generic, such as: "Person" or "Organisation" or much more specific, for example, "Police Person".

  • Reference Retrieval:  our semantic search tools retrieve information below document level by finding the specific textual references for entities, actions and relationships.

  • Ontology Design:  rapid creation, refinement and regression testing of ontologies for use enterprise-wide, in departments and for transient projects.

  

Situation Analysis

Situation analysis is the process of fusing information about many aspects of a real-time situation in order to create a coherent picture of the state of a complicated system.  The company's staff have pioneered novel developments in the area of military situation assessment which allow complex battles to be monitored and understood scalably in real-time.  The technology is now being applied to socio-economic modelling.

Activities and Plans

Semantic Sciences activities are currently focussed on research and development, with an emphasis on two types of projects: the rapid creation of near-term licensable technology and the development of high-leverage technology with longer term impact in collaboration with third parties.

Logo

The Semantic Sciences logo is derived from the word "semantic", meaning relating to symbols.  The logo itself is a picture of the Dhyana Mudra, the symbol of absolute balance in Buddhist iconology.
