STI Research and Consultancy GmbH

STI Research and Consultancy’s focus and vision is to ensure that semantics will become part of everyday life. Semantic technology is on the cusp of mainstream adoption and represents a huge potential for advances in all areas of ICT. However the semantics community has traditionally encountered barriers in transferring its knowledge and tools to mainstream enterprises, despite a broad industrial interest in the technology and clear benefits to be gained. STI Research and Consultancy will both pursue its own

  • (i) research and development focused on establishing semantics in key emerging markets,
  • and act as (ii) a mediator for the semantics community to the broader industry stakeholders.
