The Ontology Layer

A knowledge graph that describes the business domain: a user-friendly, machine-readable model of the enterprise data.

A high-level representation of the business domain through which data is accessed.

Data access, integration and quality checking are enhanced by exploiting automatic reasoning capabilities over the graph.

The Mapping Layer

Semantic Links between the ontology and the enterprise data sources.

SQL Queries over the databases are connected to the ontology entities, in order to enable virtual data access.

Mappings allow separation of the physical data structure from the ontology model, and bridge the semantic gap between the two.

The Data Layer

Enterprise data sources and applications.

No new custom databases are required. No ETL processes. Zero impact on the pre-existing enterprise data layer.

Pay-as-you-go model: connect new data sources to the ontology by mapping them to instantly gain integration.
