SOME BASIC FUNCTIONALITIES

PoolParty’s core competencies at a glance

17Maintaining VocabulariesTaxonomies and controlled vocabularies are maintained by using the SKOS standard of W3C.

The intuitive user interface provides comfortable control elements like drag & drop or autocomplete.

A tree view on the taxonomy plays a central part in navigation and orientation.

Place your screenshot here

18SKOS EditorThe SKOS View on a concept allows the management of labels (e.g. synonyms), hierarchies and non-hierarchical relations, and mappings to other vocabularies.

Also more complex actions like merging of concepts, moving of subtrees or the creation of poly-hierarchies are supported.

PoolParty fully covers the SKOS standard of W3C incl. SKOS-XL and SKOS Collections.

19Quality ManagementData quality and especially the quality of metadata is key to a more efficient information management.

PoolParty Server provides several built-in quality checks (e.g. to avoid circularities).

Checks can be executed at run-time or at any time to generate a quality report.

20Entity ExtractionPoolParty’s API provides a rich set of methods for text mining and entity extraction.

This ultra-fast service makes use of your controlled vocabularies, therefore it is highly accurate for your specific domain.

The service will improve over time and learns from reference text corpora. It supports over 40 languages and comes with a powerful disambiguation algorithm.

21Corpus AnalysisPoolParty can automatically analyze reference text corpora.

The calculation of a statistical model of a ‘typical vocabulary’ of a specific domain helps to suggest candidate concepts for the expansion of a taxonomy.

By this means, the quality of term extraction improves over time and potential relations between concepts and terms can be suggested by the system.

22GraphSearchSemantic search at the highest level: PoolParty Graph Search Server combines the power of graph databases and SPARQL engines with features of ‘traditional’ search engines.

Document search and visual analytics: Benefit from additional insights through interactive visualizations of reports and search results derived from your data lake by executing sophisticated SPARQL queries.
