Founded by three professors at the University of Oxford, Oxford Semantic Technologies emerged as a result of extensive research into Knowledge Representation and Reasoning (KRR), out of which came the most powerful Knowledge Graph and Semantic Reasoning engine on the market today, RDFox. Among founders is Professor Ian Horrocks, a recipient of the BCS Lovelace Medal, which honors exceptional contributions to the advancement of information systems and computer science.
As an AI reasoning engine, RDFox mirrors human reasoning principles. With unrivalled reasoning capabilities, relying on accuracy, truth, and explainability, it empowers the next generation of AI applications . By inferring new knowledge exclusively from factual data, RDFox ensures results firmly grounded in reality.
RDFox’s incremental reasoning capabilities cause the consequences of the rules-based AI to be applied to the database in real-time as data is added, changed, or removed—all without needing a restart. Only the relevant information is updated without needing to reanalyse the entire data set, making the process as efficient as possible. By avoiding the explosive complexity, RDFox offers the highest possible performance.
Aggregation allows numeric value calculations to be made across groups of data in the knowledge graph and then automatically materialised as new knowledge.
As a highly-optimised in-memory knowledge graph engine, RDFox consistently outperforms competitors by orders of magnitude in benchmark tests. Built to handle everything from massive knowledge bases and data sets with billions of deeply interconnected facts, to tiny on-device applications, RDFox ensures real-time processing and high availability across the board.
RDFox has been specifically designed and optimised to run in-memory instead of on disk. This fully leverages the orders-of-magnitude difference in data transfer speed between RAM and SSD storage – resulting in loading and query times that can often be 10-1000x faster or more.
This enables applications where a customer or end user only needs to wait a few milliseconds even when there may be billions of data triples being queried.
Incremental reasoning executes rules dynamically, adapting the database in real-time as data is modified. Throughout this process, only the relevant information is considered making it significantly faster than needing to update and reload the entire knowledge graph. RDFox can also process 2-3 million inferences of new facts per second.
RDFox supports high availability—the ability to replicate knowledge and data changes across multiple running RDFox servers to ensure that service is uninterrupted in the event that any one RDFox server experiences an outage or disruption.
RDFox can be deployed on cloud instance to comfortably handle even the largest datasets.
Whether in development or simply through convenience, RDFox can be run smoothly on-premises.
For greater security, mobility, and in-situ analytics, look no further than RDFox on-device.
RDFox on edge-device is the technology driving the next generation of the Internet of Things.
The in-memory design produces 10-1000x faster results than other graph databases and enables enterprise-level scaling.
Avoid downtime—keep your solution online 24/7, 365 days a year, with RDFox's high availability setup.
Who can and can't access data is always a top priority, so RDFox gives you complete control.
Unlike other AI, RDFox is logic-based, so guarantees truth, accuracy, and auditability.
RDFox’s unique semantic reasoning draws human conclusions, enabling the efficient extraction of powerful insights.
Due to its incredibly efficient and optimised footprint, RDFox is the only enterprise-grade knowledge graph and reasoner that can be installed on edge and mobile devices, operating as the brain to your AI application independently and with total privacy. Enabling the next generation of the Internet of Things:
RDFox can operate on a device either independently or as a server-based network system.
RDFox’s inbuilt graph database uses the open RDF standard, meaning greater flexibility to switch between different RDF triple stores and less vendor lock-in. As standard we support:
RDFox can comfortably handle billions of triples while maintaining its industry defining performance.
The use of rules-based AI and knowledge graph technology is rapidly becoming prevalent across multiple industry sectors, covering a vast range of applications. Our clients are leveraging the power of RDFox to solve today’s greatest challenges.
