In this session, Yale will share the details of the first-of-its-kind LUX platform that manages, reconciles and enriches cultural heritage knowledge, and the role Progress MarkLogic has played in enabling a unified search and discovery experience powered by semantic search.

Knowledge Management

In the post-pandemic supply chain world, disruptions have become the new normal. Replacing the ERP or migrating all applications to the Cloud does not give the supply chain efficiency and resiliency an enterprise is looking for. It is time we adopted an enterprise-centric supply chain ontology which can communicate with all ERPs, market signals, partner data, partner APIs, IoT and AI models. If we could fast track that journey with precomposed unified supply chain data models, composable integrations and English-like orchestrations, then we get a jump start on focusing on the efficiency and resiliency that we are looking for.
