Neosemantics (n10s)

Neosemantics (n10s) is a powerful plugin for Neo4j that facilitates the integration of RDF (Resource Description Framework) and its associated vocabularies such as OWL, RDFS, and SKOS into the Neo4j database. This tool is essential for those looking to leverage RDF for data interchange, which is a standard model recognized by the W3C.

Key Features of Neosemantics

• Import and Export Capabilities: Neosemantics supports various formats including Turtle, N-Triples, JSON-LD, RDF/XML, TriG, and N-Quads. This flexibility allows for seamless integration with other RDF-generating or consuming components.
• Ontology and Taxonomy Management: It allows the import and export of ontologies and taxonomies using different vocabularies such as OWL, SKOS, and RDFS, facilitating comprehensive data structuring and categorization.
• Graph Validation and Inferencing: With SHACL (Shapes Constraint Language), neosemantics can validate graph data against set constraints and perform basic inferencing to derive new insights from connected data.

Role in ƒxyz Network

Within ƒxyz Network, neosemantics plays a crucial role in:

Semantic Data Integration

Neosemantics enables us to integrate diverse data sources with consistent semantic meaning, ensuring that financial data maintains its context and relationships across systems.

Ontology Management

We use neosemantics to manage and apply the Financial Industry Business Ontology (FIBO) and other financial ontologies, providing a standardized framework for understanding financial concepts.

Knowledge Graph Enhancement

The plugin enhances our knowledge graphs by enabling semantic querying and reasoning, making our data more intelligent and accessible.

Practical Applications

ƒxyz Network leverages neosemantics for several practical applications:

• Financial Data Standardization: Ensuring consistent representation of financial entities and relationships
• Regulatory Compliance: Mapping regulatory requirements to internal data structures
• Cross-System Integration: Facilitating seamless data exchange between different components of the network
• Semantic Search: Enabling context-aware search capabilities across our knowledge bases

Technical Integration

Neosemantics is tightly integrated with our Neo4j database infrastructure and works alongside other tools such as:

• GraphXR for visualization of semantic relationships
• APOC for extended database procedures
• Custom Cypher queries for specialized semantic operations

Neosemantics (n10s) is an indispensable tool for anyone working with Neo4j and RDF, providing robust capabilities for data integration, validation, and inferencing within the fxyz Network.
