Enterprise Knowledge Management
Web 3.0 as an Enterprise Reality
Image Matters offers a state–of–the–art platform for building knowledge–based applications and services – knowledgeSmarts™. knowledgeSmarts™ is unique in its ability to integrate geospatial, temporal and other analytical processes with Web 3.0 (Semantic Web) technologies. Our successes in Semantic Web research and development resulted in the 2005 Innovations in Geospatial Intelligence Award from the National Geospatial–Intelligence Agency (NGA), the only company to receive this award in 2005.
Tools for Constructing Knowledge-On-Demand Services
knowledgeSmarts enhances business processes by adding and exploiting business "intelligence", represented as a knowledge layer, through which Web services, databases and software functions are accessed in a relevant business context. This valuable new layer of service infrastructure relieves end–user burden and enhances user productivity. knowledgeSmarts explicitly models and exploits business context within its service framework, and is unique in its rigorous approach to handling space and time context. Through its innovative knowledge–based spatial and temporal reasoning capabilities, service providers can build Knowledge–On–Demand services that deliver information based on a users' location, time, and role.
Dealing with Information Overload
knowledgeSmarts facilitates the extraction of hidden knowledge from an increasing abundance, complexity and diversity of distributed, heterogeneous digital information sources. For many enterprises, important information is often scattered in different places (e.g., in different databases, digital documents, web servers, metadata and legacy systems). Because information is stored and maintained differently, it is almost impossible to integrate the information, monitor real-time changes, and extract tacit knowledge. knowledgeSmarts addresses these problems by adding a "layer" of semantics with commensurate reasoning, event handling and workflow capabilities that can be used to formulate intelligent business processes.
Enhance Automation for Complex Workflows
knowledgeSmarts' spatial-temporal aware knowledge management and reasoning capabilities are especially valuable for use in time-sensitive, complex applications such as:
- Intelligent, dynamic information triage. Intelligently filter, integrate and reason about multiple, heterogeneous data sources.
- Intelligent watch and alerting. Establish intelligent "watch" conditions and alerting actions for live information feeds.
- Intelligent information delivery. Reason about business situations to proactively "push" crucial near real time actionable information.
- Intelligent information fusion. Make sense about fused spatial-temporal events given business context.
- Context-sensitive situation awareness. Provide autonomous decision support for rapidly evolving dynamic events.
