Looking to create trustworthy, accurate, and cost-effective AI applications and business insight engines for your organization? Learn more about the Progress Data Platform for AI from expert developers, engineers and knowledge managers.

Government agencies across the world are required to share information with others. This includes other agencies, their constituents and even their own departments. But what happens when these groups use different terminologies to describe the same thing? It’s like two people talking in two different languages. Now multiply that by hundreds of potentially different data “languages” and hundreds of data repositories—and the problem gets exponentially more complicated. 

This is a core contributor to the classic data silo problem that has plagued public and private entities since the dawn of the information age. Establishing relationships between these various data vocabularies is a function of the information science field known as semantics. Applying a semantic approach to organizational data can quickly knock down these data silos—internally and externally—and streamline your path to mission success. 

Join Stephen Reed to learn how agencies are modernising their architecture by adopting a semantic approach to deliver data agility, flexibility and scalability for their mission needs. During the webinar, you will:

• Explore common causes of data silos as well as signs you might have them within your organisation
• Examine how data silos create a barrier to information sharing and visibility
• Discover how taking a semantic approach to your data with Progress Semaphore can help remediate these issues
• Review several public sector use cases where semantics have solved the data-silo challenge
• See how Progress Semaphore bridges the data language gap in a live demonstration

Modern organizations are laser-focused on delivering business value from technology initiatives. As a result, Data and Analytics leaders are partnering with their IT and Marketing counterparts to align their strategies for optimal results. This can lead to a balancing act between centralizing functions like data security and compliance and decentralizing data ownership so business users can drive projects autonomously.

Data management is coming of age with modern data architecture patterns like data fabric and data mesh. Data fabric has gained traction because it's flexible enough to adapt to complex data growth and scale with business needs. Using a semantic layer, data fabrics weave data and metadata into a unified view to enable reusable and accessible knowledge on demand across the organization. This promotes better collaboration, less reliance on IT teams for data operations and greater self-service for data analytics. But how far are we in reaching the full promise of data fabrics?

Special guest Andy Hayler, Practice Leader, Data as an Asset at Bloor Research and Stephen Crook, Principal Sales Engineer at Progress explore challenges and successful deliveries of data fabrics in the industry.
