  • On-demand semantic data warehouse
    Patent number: 10936656
    Abstract: A system for creating a semantic data warehouse including a convergence service configured to execute queries to connected data sources, to convert data from source to domain semantics, and to aggregate converted data. The convergence service is configured to invoke by an entity graph service that, on demand, defines a semantic entity representation, the needed queries and data sources to be queried; and projects and makes available the resulting data in the semantic entity representation.

  • DATA REPOSITORY QUERYING METHOD
    Publication number: 20170344712
    Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of querying a data repository wherein a software image is generated of at least one of a pre-compiled semantic reasoning engine, a set of pre-compiled fact data, and pre-compiled reasoning rules. At runtime additional run time data and/or run time reasoning rules are loaded. A query is specified and solved by means of the software image and the additional run time data and/or runtime rules.

  • METHOD OF FORMALIZING TEMPORAL ASPECTS IN EVENTS OF AN ELECTRONIC PATIENT RECORD
    Publication number: 20160224644
    Abstract: Data regarding at least one event are extracted from a data repository and subjected to a syntactic transformation into a first semantic representation if needed. Extracted and transformed data are converted into a representation with explicit semantics regarding temporal information. If the extracted data includes no explicit temporal data, temporal data are deduced from other extracted data pertaining to the event and attached to the event data. The results can be applied for temporal reasoning.

  • METHOD OF USING A SEMANTIC WEB DATA SOURCE IN A TARGET APPLICATION
    Publication number: 20150370783
    Abstract: A method of using a semantic web data source in a target application includes the target application calling the application program interface of a bridge component, and the bridge component retrieves the required data from the semantic web data source, translates the retrieved data semantically and syntactically to reflect the meaning and syntax of the target application, and returns the translated data in the format of the target application.
