Interoperability remains a difficult challenge for all enterprises. Image Matters is a leader in interoperability solutions. We have long understood the role of semantics as the “last rung in the interoperability ladder.” Formal semantics are required for machines to reason about data. Semantics also ensure that service protocols are machine-understandable. Semantics reduce the cognitive load on users by assisting them with more “intelligent” machine-reasoning services. Based upon more than a decade of research with DARPA and other leading researchers, Image Matters created the first authentic Knowledge-as-a-Service platform, which performs multi-modal analytics and reasoning on disparate, semantically-mediated data sources, and produces structured Knowledge-on-Demand. The latest generation of this pioneering work is embodied in our FactWeave® product line.
