Connecting the best of both worlds: ontologies and vocabularies in metaphactory

The terms "ontology" and "vocabulary" are often used interchangeably. However, more often than not, this leads to confusion among customers who want to semantically model their domain and results in questions about whether there is in fact a distinction between the two and whether both are needed to implement a knowledge graph.

The meta-layers that these terms describe have been captured by different standards (OWL and SKOS respectively) and we at metaphacts believe that there is value in treating both as individual but complementary assets in their own right.

Visual Ontology Modeling for Domain Experts and Business Users with metaphactory

In my previous blog post on building Knowledge Graph-driven, FAIR Data platforms I discussed the importance of data and data-driven decisions, processes and tools in accelerating digital transformation. Knowledge Graphs have revolutionized the way data can be accessed and used, and have helped enterprises overcome the challenges posed by distributed silos where information is available to limited audiences, in heterogeneous formats, and represented according to different models. They have led to great advances in terms of data integration, interoperability and accessibility, and have allowed companies to tap into the full potential of their data assets and transform data into valuable and actionable knowledge.
