    Let’s face it: the service technicians’ experience with technical documentation is not at all what you, knowledge and product teams, had expected. The latest Insight-Report Service* highlights the top pain points service teams face in their daily work with product documentation and uncovers sometimes-surprising learnings on what they really miss. But this is not all bad news! Let’s tackle these issues and explore cutting-edge content strategies, tools, and solutions that can revolutionize the way your service technicians access and use technical documentation. You’ll discover how dynamic content delivery, truly mobile documentation, and AI-driven content recommendations can make a world of difference for your technicians’ productivity and satisfaction. We will illustrate our point with real-world examples of how organizations have successfully implemented these strategies in record time to the benefit of their entire organization. Join Christopher Rechtien, Innovation Manager at kothes, and Fabrice Lacroix, CEO of Fluid Topics, as they share practical insights and actionable takeaways to make your technical documentation the most useful and acclaimed resource for your service teams. *The Insight-Report Service is a survey designed and conducted by kothes GmbH and supported by leading customer service associations in Europe.   Presented by Fabrice Lacroix, CEO of Fluid Topics and Christopher Rechtien, Innovation Manager at kothes Headshot of smiling man Fabrice Lacroix is a serial entrepreneur and a technology pioneer.

    Uncover the various ways to use a RAG solution with PoolParty and GraphDB

    We’re familiar with RAG - but which RAG is the right fit? As organizations increasingly rely on AI-driven information retrieval and generation, traditional Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems often fall short in production environments. Various solutions have emerged to address this challenge, recognizing that “one size does not fit all” - each organization has unique requirements to tackle this issue within their framework. Increase efficiency by up to 20% with Semantic RAG (AKA Graph RAG)

    This webinar explores an innovative solution: Semantic RAG, which harnesses the power of knowledge graphs, large language models (LLMs), and graph databases to enhance semantic retrieval and generation capabilities.

    A key focus will be on LLM-derived knowledge graphs, demonstrating how they can be created and refined with human-in-the-loop processes to achieve greater accuracy and explainability. We'll explore memory constructs in Graph RAG operations, illustrated through practical demonstrations using PoolParty and GraphDB.

    We will dive into a real-world case study and explore the pipeline, architecture, and practical applications of Semantic RAG systems.  This will showcase valuable insights into the seamless collaboration between PoolParty and GraphDB to deliver a robust Semantic RAG solution. Expert strategies will be shared for maximizing the impact of these innovative technologies by shortening time to insight, providing savvy querying for the untrained, and lowering long term maintenance costs.

    Márcia Ferreira, Data and Knowledge Engineer (Technical Consultant) at Semantic Web Company, and Krasimira Bozhonova, Solutions Architect at Ontotext, will walk you through the following aspects and explain the benefits of a Semantic RAG approach:

    • Vector RAG vs. Graph RAG

    • Grounding LLMs with Graph

    • Conventional RAG vs. Semantic RAG

    • Different varieties of Graph RAG

    • Demo of PoolParty Semantic RAG and GraphDB

    In the meantime, have a look at our Semantic Retrieval Augmented Generation page to learn more about the capabilities and benefits of utilizing Knowledge Graphs to power your Generative AI experience.

    We hope to see you there!

    In the past, we have produced documents with a focus on how they look when published. Page layout, font face, font size, bolding and italics have been useful not just to make the documents attractive, but more importantly, to make them easier to read and understand. Nowadays we are told that semantic markup is preferable. Why is that, and how do we add it to our docs?

        Authors, particularly non-technical ones, prefer to work in the familiar environment of MS Office. Office, which has been the de-facto standard for creating hand-edited documents for about three decades now, is a useful tool; however, using the output in any kind of standard environment can be tricky.  Converting from Office to PDF is a common function of many applications but there are some aspects to the conversion process which you may not have considered.  I will be discussing the pros and cons of various Office conversion processes and going over several use cases for using dedicated conversion software.

    The Future of Documents is shaped by a fundamental change in how information is exchanged. This future sees a shift from traditional 'e-paper', formatted and optimized for reading by humans, towards semantically tagged information - exchanged in an open digital format. In this talk, we will share examples from industries that have a history in structured content - such as publishing and technical documentation - as well as from industries that are ‘newer to the game’, such as pharma and financial services.
    • The Future of documents, - structured content and semantics from niche to mainstream
    • Define Structured Content. What is it, and why is it so fundamentally different from formatted documents?
    • What drives organizations to move from traditional authoring towards structured content authoring
    • How can industries learn from each other? – Discussing benefits and features.

    colorful box next the words Kaleidoscope - Taking your content global

    Communication can be tricky as meaning and understanding can get lost easily. The nuances of our languages with their different meanings and overlapping concepts are only one source for failed communication. On a business level, things get even more complicated when different business units or content providers are not consistent in their usage of words. In the days of “King Content” this can be detrimental to your business success.

    • But how do you find out which terms are used in various parts of your organization?
    • How can you gather and harmonize them?
    • How can you get everybody's input on the suggestions you make as a terminologist?
    • And how can you make sure you have a functioning feedback loop to maintain consistently high termbase quality?

    Find out more in our webinar where we present procedural and technological solutions with our Content Quality Platform Kalcium.

        colorful box next the words Kaleidoscope - Taking your content global Terminology only works effectively if the organization manages to agree on consistent concepts and terms. But to achieve a company-wide understanding and agreement a well thought out process and regular interaction are needed. While some organizations prefer a systematic process, others react to ad hoc requests, some are happy with a combination of both. Therefore, we
    • look at the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches and
    • share how to set them up in practice

    colorful box next the words Kaleidoscope - Taking your content global

    Does this sound familiar: there is so much data in your organization, and it is not always clear which sources are up to date and really relevant to business decisions? Terminology can act as the single source of truth, breaking up data silos and providing the same information to every employee. But in order to achieve that, terminology needs to get close to the users and find its way into their systems.

    We share how

    • to implement the "single source of truth” in terminology work
    • to connect your systems, e.g., ERP, CMS, PIM, CAT tools, etc.,
    • to distribute the information
    • to make this information usable for all

    Join us for a tour that starts with your relevant data sources and ends with a clear and concise terminology process as a way of making sense and use of this data.
