INVITED SPEECH: Semantic Web applications in Financial Industry, Government, Health care and Life Sciences, Professor Amit Sheth, LSDIS Lab, the University of Georgia and Semagix Abstract: Semantics can already be seen as the key enabler for the new breed of enterprise and scientific applications. I have had the unique vantage point of seeing Semantic Web research transition from academic research at the LSDIS lab to commercialization at Taalee and Semagix, and further on to powering applications serving Enterprise customers and scientific research partners. In this talk, we will review several ontology-driven applications and information systems. For commercial applications, we will focus on Enterprise applications deployed by Semagix’s customers. More specifically, these include risk management and compliance applications such as Know your Customer and Anti-money Laundering. For the Government application, we will look at Case Management in Law Enforcement, Financial Irregularity and Insider Threat Management. For scientific research applications, we will look at Active Semantic Electronic Medical Record Application deployed in a cardiology practice and a high throughput scientific experiment workflow in glycomics and proteomics research. In the process, we will comment on the following capabilities: expressiveness of knowledge representations (ontology representation language), development of large populated ontologies that are regularly updated, automatic metadata extraction and annotation involving heterogeneous textual as well as scientific experiment data, high-performance and scalable query and rule processing reasoning that computes semantic associations leading to identification or discovery of patterns or interesting/suspicious paths and complex relationships, semantic visualization and semantic virtual interfaces for high-bandwidth user interactions with heterogeneous data, metadata and ontologies, and use of standards/recommendations including RDF, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL, SWRL, etc. Background information for this talk can be found at: · Making the Semantic Web Real (Dec. 2003) http://www.semagix.com/documents/SemanticWebTechinAction.pdf · Commercial Technology: http://www.semagix.com/download.html · Semantic Discovery Projects at UGA & UMBC: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/semdis/ · Active Semantic Document with application to Electronic Medical Records: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/asdoc/ · Bioinformatics Ontologies and Applications: http://lsdis.cs.uga.edu/projects/glycomics/ Speaker Biography: Amit Sheth is a professor of Computer Science at The University of Georgia (UGA) and the CTO of Semagix, Inc. He started the LSDIS lab at UGA in 1994. For nine years before, he served in R&D groups at Bellcore, Unisys, and Honeywell. In August 1999, Dr. Sheth founded Taalee, Inc., based on the SCORE technology developed at the LSDIS lab, and managed it as CEO until June 2001. Following acquisition/merger of Taalee and its follow-on Voquette resulting in Semagix, he currently serves as its CTO. His research has led to two successful companies, several significant commercial products, many deployed applications, and over 200 publications. He has given 24 keynotes and 160+ invited talks/colloquia, has served on 110+ program committees, led organization of 25+ international conferences/workshops and is the Editor in Chief of Int. Journal on Semantic Web & Information Systems. He is a W3C advisory committee member and is active in several efforts related to Semantic Web Services, including WSDL-S. He received his BE from BITS (Pilani, India) and MS and PhD from OSU (Columbus, OH, USA). He has been elected as an IEEE Fellow. |
