Ontotext is a Bulgarian software company headquartered in Sofia. It is the semantic technology branch of Sirma Group. Its main domain of activity is the development of software based on the Semantic Web languages and standards, in particular RDF, OWL and SPARQL. Ontotext is best known for the Ontotext GraphDB semantic graph database engine. Another major business line is the development of enterprise knowledge management and analytics systems that involve big knowledge graphs. Those systems are developed on top of the Ontotext Platform that builds on top of GraphDB capabilities for text mining using big knowledge graphs. Together with BBC, Ontotext developed one of the early large-scale industrial semantic applications, Dynamic Semantic Publishing, starting in 2010. Ontotext content management systems deliver semantic tagging, classification, recommendation, search and discovery services. Typically they involve semantic data integration that results in a big knowledge graph, which combines proprietary master data with open data and commercially available datasets. These big knowledge graphs are used to provide context about the corresponding domain and semantic profiles of the key concepts and entities in it.
