Semantics in Financial Services - Moving beyond the "Science Projects"Rupert Brown, CTO, Financial Services, Marklogic Corporation

Bankers and their IT staff around the world are facing at least another 5 years of regulatory scrutiny, small operating margins and understanding global systemic risk factors on their business model.
As such they are naturally reticent to look at "onomies" and "ologies" when they have little room to manoeuvre. This talk will discuss recent developments in the space and real world applications of semantic technology to deliver business value in the sector.
