Ready to discover what Semaphore 5.10 can do for your organization? Let’s dive in!

Modern Knowledge Management Requires Modern Technology

For businesses that want to stay ahead in a world where knowledge is everything and data drives decisions, digital transformation remains a priority for organizational success. We are witnessing an unprecedented increase in information. Digital content is estimated to be around 150 zettabytes (ZB). With so much data being generated and stored by modern enterprises, employees look to complex and unstructured information to perform their tasks. Since most of the organizational data we generate is unstructured and siloed, it's often inaccessible to the people who need it—rendering it largely useless.

The area of knowledge management is always changing, partly because of new technologies and partly because of new market demands. With Semaphore 5.10, we’ve introduced features to simplify your knowledge management experiences in an ever-broadening range of business initiatives. With new modeling and classification capabilities, users can achieve unprecedented levels of productivity, efficiency and agility in their knowledge management and decision-making processes.

What’s New in Semaphore 5.10

Our Semaphore 5.10 release reflects our persistent focus on innovation, core capabilities and ease of use for customer success and continuous improvement.

Updates to the product incorporate market and customer feedback which helps us to deliver a platform that is high-performing, user-friendly and scalable.

This release marks a milestone in our continuous innovation journey, designed for customers who seek to foster innovation and achieve the agility to harness the latest and greatest features in Semaphore. These new capabilities and functionalities will pave the way for superior knowledge management experience, unlocking enhanced performance and leveraging the full potential of your data. By opting for the innovation release, you will be the first to interact with these new, powerful features in Semaphore and help us shape the future of semantic technology.

Introduction of AI Model Builder

Semaphore 5.10 strongly emphasizes enhanced user productivity by equipping business users with an AI-powered tool that simplifies their knowledge modeling experience. LLMs have revolutionized many industries that rely on understanding words and their meaning—freeing people to focus on higher-value tasks and less on the more mundane “job of work” tasks. The AI Model Builder, powered by the new realities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LMMs), assists knowledge experts in creating and refining knowledge models.

• Knowledge Model Creation: Create a foundational knowledge base for your semantic model using a seed concept and add suggested concepts and hierarchies. This boosts your productivity by saving time and resources on building models from scratch.
• Knowledge Model Enrichment: Enhance the depth and breadth of existing models by adding new, more specific concepts or alternative labels to specified model architectures. Achieve faster time to value by rapidly creating and enhancing semantic models to extract meaningful insights from data.

Filtering of Classification Results by Publish Set

Data classification, an essential part of data management, helps businesses protect sensitive information, maintain data integrity and support decision-making. Classifying and managing your data in a way that aligns and supports your business needs is crucial for organizational success.

Semaphore 5.10 enables the sharing of the same Classification Server instance across different project groups so you can filter and view the classification results of team projects without wasting time and resources. This means that different models with different data sets can be used in the same Classification Server instance and display results that meet the user’s specified criteria.

Mapping Relations within the Current Model

Information must be readily available to enhance productivity and collaboration, but it must also be reliable to guide effective decision-making. Quality data enables organizations to set standards, metrics and objectives that help them progress. Creating mapping relations within current knowledge models allows you to understand how various pieces fit together.

With Semaphore 5.10, you can capture similarities between your current models and create a mapping relation between concepts to facilitate knowledge sharing across your organization. With SKOS:exactMatch, users can establish semantic relationships between two concepts within current models that share a high degree of similarity and can be used interchangeably. Eventually, full SKOS mapping relationships, link concepts and external entities will be available.

Easy Import and Export of SHACL Constraints

Using SHACL constraints supports the quality and consistency of your data. By defining rules and validations for your data model, you can avoid errors and inconsistencies that may impact your downstream applications and processes. However, loading SHACL constraints can be challenging, especially if you have complex or dynamic knowledge models that require frequent updates or modifications.

With this release, we introduced the ability to import and export SHACL constraints through a user-friendly interface, reducing time to value and making it easier to use custom SHACL. A user-friendly constraint definition will follow that intuitively supports your process and removes the need for SHACL understanding.

Stability and Security Enhancements

As with every release, Semaphore 5.10 includes minor vulnerability and stability updates, helping to facilitate a reliable and secure user experience.

A new release is always a good time to revisit your upgrade planning and get familiar with the Progress delivery and support cycle that Semaphore has now adopted. This is not just a set of new functionalities and improvements—it’s a continuous investment in compound innovation, modernization, usability and scalability. In addition to improving the platform’s usability, user productivity is always a goal with every Semaphore release, delivering agility and time to value so you always have new ways to succeed in a data-centric, AI-first world.

Leverage Your Knowledge Management Experience

Business users must leverage tools like Semaphore 5.10 to enhance their knowledge management practices in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. The Semaphore 5.10 innovation release delivers on our uncompromising commitment to your user productivity, low-code experience and AI-first strategy.
