Project Summary

Semantic Content and Knowledge Engineering (SCKE) techniques are rarely used within large enterprises and almost never in SMEs. Lightweight and adaptive SCKE methods are needed for semantics-driven applications to be useful in the SME setting. Bringing SCKE to SMEs demands (1) KD techniques for acquiring knowledge from legacy data in an automatic fashion and efficiently revealing emergent semantics, (2) methods of social semantic collaboration, intelligent knowledge retrieval and manipulation and (3) scalable knowledge stores and expressive query capabilities.

The aims of SCMS are (1) to integrate these building blocks within product grade software solutions based on the partners’ products and (2) to deploy  these solutions in real-world use cases, as part of the business of the participants. The project is driven by fast growing SMEs in the content management (CMS), database and data access domains.  The partners have knowledge of and access to their markets. They are capable and motivated to develop business around the SCMS results as soon as they are produced.
