This year, the Semantic Technology Conference introduces its Financial Track – designed to address the unique concerns of Financial Institutions and the Financial Services Industry, and to help technologists understand their potential roles in this space.
This two-day track features:
- a W3C-led, half-day tutorial on their adoption of XBRL, and its implications for financial reporting and related information consumption;
- individual presentations by Dow Jones, Reuters, Guardian Life, and PricewaterhouseCoopers – sharing related technology and methodologies they’ve embraced to meet their particular financial information needs, and
- a "Financial Industry Sidebar" which will bridge the gap between the technical and commercial – and between the theoretical and practical. Here, we’ll examine the ways in which semantic technologies are being put to use across financial industry sub-sectors with, expert presenters and lively discussion.
With semantic technologies rapidly gaining traction, don’t miss this important set of presentations and opportunity for dialog and networking. The Financial Services industry (across Banking, Investment Banking, Insurance, Asset Management, Real Estate, Credit Markets, etc.) is implementing semantic technologies today in numerous areas, including:
- EDI/Execution/Transaction Enablement
- Information Harvesting and Contextualization
- Data Storage Architecture for Extensibility
- Automated Inputs for Algorithmic Trading
- Risk Assessment and Management / Authentication
- Financial Publishing and Custom Content Generation and Delivery
