Eliminating Data Silos for Mission Success with Semantics

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 Don't miss out - watch now!
