The Lixto Systems Applications in Business Intelligence and Semantic Web

Overview

This paper shows how technologies for Web data extraction, syndication and integration allow for new applications and services in the Business Intelligence and the Semantic Web domain. First, they demonstrate how knowledge about market developments and competitor activities on the market can be extracted dynamically and automatically from semi-structured information sources on the Web. Then, they show how the data can be integrated in Business Intelligence Systems and how data can be classified, re-assigned and transformed with the aid of Semantic Web ontological domain knowledge. Existing Semantic Web and Business Intelligence applications and scenarios using their technology illustrate the whole process.
