Case Study: a major government agency improves library access and data curation with Ontotext and metaphacts

a major government agency streamlines access to 1.7 million resources with Ontotext

A major government agency faced challenges with its digital and print library services, as data was locked in disparate, siloed systems across its national archive, national library, and numerous public libraries. This led to inefficient data curation, inconsistent content, and a poor user experience for visitors. Ontotext, in partnership with metaphacts, was engaged to build a unified knowledge graph solution using their GraphDB database and the metaphactory platform to address these issues.

Ontotext's solution integrated all metadata into a centralized knowledge graph, providing data curators with a single interface for a 360-degree data view and enabling standardized vocabularies. This resulted in significant time and cost savings, boosted data quality, and streamlined curation. For end users, the new system will provide a single entry point for intuitive, context-relevant search and exploration across all libraries, which is expected to greatly improve the visitor experience and engagement.
