EXPLAINABLE INTELLIGENCE
The results of the semantic intelligence solution can be understood by humans because the logic of the process is automatically and fully documented in the results.
Why ?
The business of any modern organization should be defined in a compact and unambiguous form, yet a form that is not just a disconnected document, but running for real, on real machines. Relying on a business behavior buried in several million lines of convoluted program code exposes the business to the risk of a serious discrepancy between its documented and actual behaviors.
Logic Tools addresses this risk by expressing the essence of your organization. The most sophisticated systems are described by a few hundred artifacts, several orders of magnitude less than the corresponding functionality expressed in any common programming language.
This makes for the most
compact, understandable, auditable,
verifiable and yet executable
representation of any application domain.
What ?
This utterly compact representation
is achieved by combining two
elements:
The ontology describes the application
domain, the concepts, their attributes,
constraints, axioms, using the W3C
standard language OWL.The business rules define
relationships and behaviors on this
ontology, using pure logic, free from
side effects, inconsistencies or
contradictions, free from explicit
sequencing, expressed in SWRL, the
standard rules language for the
semantic web.
1
Domain experts design the ontology and corresponding business rules. These experts need to be, well, experts in the domain, but they don’t have to be technical wizards: modeling the business is absolutely insulated from technical programming issues. The result is a compact and dramatically simplified application.
2
The ontology and business rules are not designed in the void, though: they come with test cases that can be animated, tested, debugged and explained so that one can gain confidence that the model (ontology and rules) accurately represents the domain.
3
It is only then that IT comes into play, integrating the Logic Tools Reasoner into the IT technical infrastructure: the data sources, security, user interfaces, etc.
4
As a result, you gain a new level of agility, by allowing the domain experts to change the model, test these changes extensively, and deploy an updated version in a matter of days rather than months, without relying on the IT’s schedule or priorities.
Semantic Intelligence
Modern organizations are defined by their software systems, and you cannot afford to have the essence of your business lost in huge amount of code, buried under myriads of technical details
Logic Tools will provide you with the clarity and flexibility you need, and help you master the complexity and the fast pace of evolution while keeping control at all times.
Verifiable and Auditable Artifacts
