Melissa Informatics Advances Big Data Promise with Semantics and Machine Reasoning


Free Webinar Features Enterprise Data Curation and Integration to Extract Value from Complex Data Lakes

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif., June 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Melissa, a leading provider of global contact data quality and identity verification solutions, today announced its informatics division, Melissa Informatics, is advancing the promise of big data using semantic technologies and machine reasoning. These tools help break through enterprise bottlenecks by enabling targeted data curation, integration, and interoperability of complex data. Melissa Informatics will introduce semantic technologies and demonstrate their role in improving data quality, integration, and enrichment in complex data environments in a new webinar titled “Make Your Data Lake Great Again.” Register here for this interactive online discussion, slated for Wednesday, June 27, 2018, at 11:00 a.m. Pacific/2:00 p.m. Eastern.

Attendees will gain a better understanding of challenges and costs associated with traditional data cleansing and integration methods, as well as how to use advanced NoSQL databases, ontology-enabled machine reasoning, and global semantics standards for data interoperability. Industry takeaways include:

  • How to define semantic technology and its applications
  • How to clean, connect, and access mission-critical data more effectively
  • A look at the World Wide Web Consortium, exploring standards and shared goals for global data, interoperability among applications, and strategies for addressing enterprise bottlenecks
  • How, why, and when to use advanced ontology-enabled machine reasoning, illustrated with a live demo

“As industries such as health sciences face complex, changing data requirements, semantics and machine reasoning is becoming critical to realizing research and business goals,” said Bob Stanley, senior director, customer projects, Melissa Informatics. “The right enterprise data strategies not only reduce risk, time, and cost, but also reveal much greater value by creating interoperability with existing data that is underused and hidden in applications, files, and databases.”
