TopQuadrant Panel

For years, the semantic technology community seemed divided into two camps when it came to building knowledge-based systems and ontologies: OWL or SHACL. Each brought distinct strengths—OWL’s logical rigor versus SHACL’s rule-based validation—and practitioners often chose one over the other. But is that dichotomy still relevant today? Join us for a panel featuring leading voices in the field. Together, they’ll explore the evolution of semantic modeling, the interplay between OWL and SHACL, and what TopQuadrant’s recent release of OWL support means for practitioners.
