Less misunderstandings with iKnow Semantics

With iKnow Semantics it is possible to model the semantics of a knowledge domain. With this you record the terminology and meaning centrally within your organisation, thus preventing miscommunication.

Understanding with iKnow Semantics

Does it happen in your organisation that people think they understand each other, but it turns out afterwards that terms have a different meaning? Is the meaning of terms in your organisation not clear to everyone?

Semantics is the art of assigning meaning. This is essential when working with data, rules and processes. Yet it is often neglected.

iKnow Semantics makes the clear definition of semantics an essential part of your organisation. Together with the other modules of the iKnow suite, iKnow Semantics forms a powerful pivot within that suite by capturing the meaning of every element - for instance a process step, an attribute in a rule or a value in the data model.
