What are semantic technology case examples?
Proof cases of adoption, use, and benefits from solutions based on semantic technology by consumers, government, and industry.
Semantic Exchange members post case examples that describe the experience of companies and individuals that adopt solutions, products, and services based on semantic technologies. Case examples provide the following kinds of information:
- Case example identifier
- Name
- Short description
- Category, metadata (e.g. sector, industry, segment, application, technology
- Customer, providers
- Business need,
- Solution features, concept of operations, use cases
- User & operational benefits (e.g. effectiveness, efficiency, edge, enjoyment)
- Life cycle benefits (develop, use, grow, evolve)
- Comparative benefits (vs. alternative solutions)
- Lessons learned
- Best practices
- Provenance (source, date, contacts)
What is the value space of semantic solutions?
New capabilities, increased performance, improved life cycle economics, and enhanced user experience.
Case examples focus on the business and consumer value of semantic technologies in several dimensions:
- Capabilities enabled by semantic technologies and new solution patterns tap new sources of value. New capabilities are the main value driver.
- Performance gains of semantic solutions are measured by improvements in efficiency, effectiveness, or strategic edge. Performance focuses on returns.
- Life cycle economics of semantic solutions are measured as the ratio of benefits to cost and risk over the life of the investment. Semantic technologies impact life cycle economics positively during R&D, deployment and operations, and maintenance and evolution stages of the solution investment.
- User experience of semantic solutions measures the pleasure, relevance, helpfulness, and usefulness as experienced by the user.
Semantic technologies tap new sources of value, and can drive 1-3 order of magnitude improvements in capabilities and life cycle economics through cost reductions, improved efficiencies, gains in effectiveness, and new functionalities that were not possible or economically feasible before now.
