SUMMARY:The Foundation for and Progress-ion of Staying Current
DESCRIPTION:Organizations are under pressure to anticipate the next layer of the technology stack while still making sense of the systems they already run. In AI programs\, that challenge often becomes more difficult when metadata\, taxonomies and ontologies are treated as optional documentation rather than core foundations. This session explains why these structures provide the scaffolding and guardrails AI systems need to produce useful\, reliable and context-aware outputs.The session will cover the foundational layers of AI implementation\, where they sit within enterprise ecosystems and how they interact with existing data\, content and application environments. It will examine different types of metadata\, the role of taxonomies in organizing meaning and the value of ontologies in representing concepts\, relationships and business context.Attendees will also learn why AI does not remove the need for metadata discipline. Instead\, well-managed semantic foundations help guide AI\, reduce ambiguity and improve retrieval\, classification and reasoning. The session will close with practical guidance on keeping these guardrails current as business language\, systems and AI use cases evolve.

SUMMARY:The Modern Data Architecture: Orchestrate or Be Orchestrated
DESCRIPTION:For forty years\, every data decision meant picking a side: operational or analytical\, governed or self-service\, relational or unstructured\, aggregated or federated. AI did not add a fifth choice. It made all four unavoidable at once\, while inference costs quietly crowd out the software budgets that used to fund everything else.In this session\, Matthieu Jonglez argues that the winners of the AI era will not own the biggest model or the largest data lake. They will own the control plane: the semantic\, governed\, agentic layer that sits above fragmentation instead of replacing it\, and turns scattered data into context\, and context into decisions a business can trust and afford. The winner will not be the platform with the most data\, but the platform that can deliver the right context to both humans and agents alike\, on equal footing. Drawing on production systems running at billions of documents and the latest analyst research\, he shows why the real question is no longer build or buy\, but orchestrate or be orchestrated.

SUMMARY:Trusted by Design: Combining Knowledge Models and Modern AI
DESCRIPTION:AI initiatives often face a tradeoff between accuracy\, transparency\, and governance. While knowledge models and taxonomies provide trusted business context and explainability\, modern AI offers powerful capabilities for classification\, matching\, and discovery. This session explores how these approaches can be combined to deliver more trustworthy and effective AI systems.\n\nThe Progress Data Platform AI Data team will present exploration in three areas:\nConcordance – An evaluation of entity relationship generation using classical OWL/SKOS knowledge models and Semaphore-style extraction techniques. We will share benchmark results\, findings\, and lessons learned on creating reliable semantic foundations for AI.\nClassification – A cross-validation approach that combines client data and OWL/SKOS taxonomies with embeddings and Small Language Models (SLMs) to evaluate how structured knowledge and AI can improve classification quality and confidence.\nMatching – An exploration of hybrid matching techniques that combine transparent lexical matching with contextual embeddings. By reinforcing semantic search with deterministic validation\, we assess how missing concept and entity relationships can be identified while maintaining traceability and trust.\n\nAttendees will gain insight into emerging approaches that blend symbolic AI and modern AI to improve the accuracy\, and governance of future enterprise AI solutions.\n \n

SUMMARY:From Legacy to Live: How the Marine Corps Built a Data-First Logistics Platform at Scale
DESCRIPTION:Modernizing defense logistics data requires more than replacing legacy systems. It requires a governed data architecture that can reconcile fragmented records\, support authoritative outputs and prepare operational information for downstream digital and AI-enabled services. This session examines lessons from the U.S. Marine Corps Technical Data Management platform\, developed to address product data challenges across more than one million parts and thousands of weapon systems.The session will explore how a large-scale government program moved from obsolete mainframes\, incompatible schemas and disconnected source formats toward a modern\, cloud-hosted\, non-relational data environment. Topics include establishing a single source of truth\, ingesting multi-format data from PDF\, XML\, CAD graphics and legacy feeds\, resolving data disparities and delivering trusted information to operational users.Attendees will also learn how governance\, role-based access\, validation tooling and DevSecOps practices can support agility in high-compliance environments. The session will close by examining what it takes to make legacy logistics data AI-ready through semantic enrichment\, federated access and intelligent search across parts\, publications and configuration records.

SUMMARY:Progress Data Platform Vision and Roadmap
DESCRIPTION:AI is changing not only how enterprises analyze information\, but how decisions are made\, actions are automated\, and knowledge is consumed by both people and intelligent systems. In this session\, Eudald Camprubí and Sergei Sokolov will share Progress' perspective on the evolution of enterprise data platforms\, exploring why the greatest barrier to AI adoption is no longer access to data or models\, but the ability to create trusted\, governed\, and explainable context across fragmented information landscapes. Drawing on customer challenges across financial services\, manufacturing\, life sciences\, media\, and the public sector\, they will outline the principles\, architecture\, and roadmap behind the Progress vision for enterprise intelligence.Attendees will learn how PDP Studio represents the next step in the platform's evolution while continuing to build on the strengths of the current PDP portfolio. Our strategy is to support customer AI journeys allowing for adoption of new platform capabilities at their own pace\, leveraging existing products\, deployments\, and expertise while gaining access to emerging AI-native experiences where they create the most value. The roadmap discussion will provide clarity on how these worlds coexist\, how Progress plans to evolve the platform over time\, and what customers should expect as the strategy unfolds

SUMMARY:Tokens Spent\, Value Missing: Why Most Enterprise AI Stalls and What the Survivors Do Differently
DESCRIPTION:Enterprise generative AI investments often stall because adoption metrics are mistaken for business impact. Token spend\, seat counts and pilot activity may show usage\, but they do not prove value if AI cannot be reliably connected to correctness-critical workflows.This session examines why many AI initiatives fail to produce measurable returns and argues that the underlying issue is often semantic\, not model-related. The session will show how ambiguous retrieval\, inconsistent definitions and weak integration patterns can prevent AI from being trusted in operational settings. It will also explain where formalized semantics can make a material difference by clarifying meaning\, improving retrieval quality\, supporting governance and creating a more reliable foundation for automation.Attendees will leave with a practical field test for deciding when semantic infrastructure earns its cost and when a lighter approach is sufficient. The session is designed to help leaders avoid overengineering while recognizing the moments when semantics becomes essential to accuracy\, trust and business value. Participants will gain a clearer framework for connecting AI investments to outcomes rather than activity.

SUMMARY:Accelerating Decision Automation with Agentic AI and Business Rules
DESCRIPTION:Decision automation is entering a new phase\, where organizations need decisions that are not only consistent and explainable\, but also better informed by trusted enterprise data and easier to evolve as business needs change. Progress Corticon provides deterministic\, rules-based decision automation\, while the Progress Data Platform supplies the governed data foundation\, policy context\, knowledge models\, semantic enrichment\, traceability and secure access patterns needed to support richer and more auditable decision services.This session will explore how PDP leverages the Progress Corticon technology to strengthen established decisioning use cases such as eligibility\, claims\, compliance\, routing\, pricing\, case handling and operational prioritization. It will also look at how agentic AI can help accelerate the creation and evolution of decision projects by assisting with rules\, tests\, documentation and supporting project artifacts. Rather than replacing rules-based systems\, AI can reduce the effort required to build\, update and maintain them\, while business rules continue to provide the governance\, repeatability and control required for critical decisions.Attendees will leave with a practical understanding of how governed data\, explainable rules and agentic AI can work together to modernize decision automation. The session will clarify the role of each capability: Corticon remains focused on trusted decision logic\, PDP provides the data and knowledge fabric needed to operationalize better decisions\, and agentic AI helps make decision automation faster\, more approachable and easier to maintain without sacrificing trust\, transparency or compliance.

SUMMARY:AI is Already in Your Environment\, and It's Largely Unsecured
DESCRIPTION:AI adoption is no longer limited to approved platforms or formally sponsored projects. It is appearing across SaaS applications\, developer tools\, productivity workflows and informal business processes\, often faster than security\, compliance and governance teams can track.This session examines the gap between where organizations believe AI is being used and where it is actually influencing work. The session will explore what AI usage looks like in a real enterprise environment\, why traditional visibility controls often miss it and how unmanaged adoption can create risks around data exposure\, intellectual property\, compliance\, model dependency and operational accountability. Rather than treating the issue as a reason to slow innovation\, the session focuses on practical ways to discover usage\, assess exposure and introduce control.Attendees will learn how to start building an inventory of AI touchpoints\, evaluate risk by workflow and data type\, and apply governance in a way that supports responsible adoption. The session will provide a pragmatic path for improving visibility and control without blocking the productivity gains that are driving AI use across the business.

SUMMARY:Defensible by Design: Integrating Fragmented Healthcare Data for Audit-Ready Decisions
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare and life sciences data is fragmented across clinical records\, claims\, narrative documentation\, social services\, environmental data\, regulatory filings and systems that were not designed to work together. Yet decisions based on this data must withstand audit\, fiscal scrutiny\, equity review and litigation discovery.This session presents an architectural pattern for integrating structured\, unstructured and semantic data across high-consequence healthcare domains. The session will examine how the Progress Data Platform can combine document storage\, triples\, ontology management\, semantic enrichment\, governed business rules and workflow to support cohort identification\, signal detection\, outcomes attribution and provenance tracing. Worked examples include a drug safety investigation\, a diabetes care measure across a Medicare Advantage population and a housing remediation cohort that spans clinical\, eligibility\, environmental and social services data.Attendees will learn how an integrated data foundation can support both analytics and AI workloads that must be accurate\, consistent and defensible. The session will close with practical guidance for architects deciding where to start\, how to prioritize domains and how to design for governance from the beginning.

SUMMARY:Measuring Findability After You Ship
DESCRIPTION:A taxonomy cannot be judged only by its structure at launch. Its real value appears when users search\, browse and interact with content in production. This session focuses on how to measure whether a taxonomy is genuinely improving findability after it has been deployed.The session will move beyond coverage and depth metrics to examine runtime signals that reveal how users experience search. Attendees will learn how to use click-through rate\, zero-result rate\, reformulation rate\, ranking position and relevance-judgment benchmarks to assess whether search quality is improving. Query logs will be treated as a diagnostic tool for identifying failing searches and turning them into actionable taxonomy improvements.The session will also show how explicit and implicit feedback can be interpreted\, how root causes can be traced from a failing query to a taxonomy change and how results can be remeasured after each update. Participants will leave with a practical measurement framework\, a findability scorecard and a repeatable improvement loop for proving taxonomy value over time.

SUMMARY:How Taxonomies and Ontologies Drive Knowledge Management
DESCRIPTION:Taxonomies\, ontologies and knowledge management increasingly overlap as organizations seek better ways to organize\, connect and apply enterprise knowledge. This educational session explains how knowledge organization systems support knowledge management\, why they remain relevant in the age of AI and how they can help turn scattered information into usable business context. The session will define the roles of taxonomies and ontologies\, showing how they relate\, differ and extend one another. It will then connect those structures to the core components of knowledge management\, including knowledge creation\, capture\, organization\, retrieval\, sharing\, reuse and governance. Attendees will learn how taxonomies support the knowledge management lifecycle by improving consistency\, findability\, navigation and content organization. The session will also show how ontologies extend these benefits through richer relationships\, enterprise knowledge graphs and semantic layers that can support analytics\, discovery and AI-enabled applications. Participants will leave with a practical understanding of where taxonomies and ontologies fit within KM strategy\, how they strengthen enterprise knowledge programs and how semantic foundations can improve both human and machine use of organizational knowledge.

SUMMARY:The Trust Layer for Enterprise AI: How Semantic Context Powers Reliable Agents
DESCRIPTION:As organizations race to deploy AI agents across critical business processes\, many discover that AI is only as trustworthy as the data and context behind it. In this session\, Datavid will explore how organizations can evolve from traditional operational data hubs to a true "Company Brain"—a semantic layer that connects data\, knowledge\, business rules\, and organizational context into a unified foundation for AI.Attendees will learn how semantic technologies\, knowledge graphs\, and governed metadata help AI agents move beyond simple data retrieval to deliver explainable\, trustworthy\, and business-aware outcomes. Through real-world examples\, this session will demonstrate how enterprises can reduce hallucinations\, improve transparency\, and provide the context AI agents need to make informed decisions—turning fragmented information into a strategic advantage for the AI era.

SUMMARY:Agentic Trusted Decisions for In-Home Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare providers delivering in-home urgent care must make timely\, accurate decisions using patient information that is often fragmented across electronic health records\, clinical notes\, referral documents\, operational systems\, and real-time field data. Converting this scattered mix of structured and unstructured information into trusted\, actionable decisions is critical for improving patient outcomes while maximizing limited clinical resources.We will present a case-study about a next-generation\, AI-powered platform that transforms mobile integrated healthcare by unifying an intelligent human in the loop triage agent\, AI-generated clinical notes\, accurate volume forecasting\, and an automated service-assignment agent. The Triage Agent assists clinicians during patient intake by transcribing phone calls\, extracting key information from those calls\, analyzing symptoms\, patient history\, and clinical guidelines to recommend the appropriate level of care with transparent\, explainable recommendations. The human in the loop reduces patient care risks and provides the feedback to improve agent’s performance. The Service Provisioning Agent then identifies the most appropriate paramedic based on clinical qualifications\, availability\, location\, workload\, and equipment\, generates an optimized route\, and continuously adapts assignments as conditions such as traffic\, emergencies\, or resource availability change.Attendees will see how the solution enables organizations to build trusted and highly accurate AI systems that combine traditional AI\, semantic graph intelligence\, business rules\, and agentic workflows to turn scattered healthcare data into real-time\, actionable intelligence\, delivering faster response times\, improved operational efficiency\, and better patient care.

SUMMARY:Building Intelligent AI Applications with Progress Agentic RAG - Continued
DESCRIPTION:No prior RAG experience required\n\nData is only as valuable as your ability to understand what it means not just what it says. In this hands-on session\, you'll discover how organizations can bring order\, meaning\, and intelligence to complex enterprise data through the power of semantic modeling.\n\nWhether you're a data architect designing enterprise knowledge structures\, a taxonomist building controlled vocabularies\, or a business user who simply needs to make sense of how your organization's concepts connect this session is built for you.\n\nWe'll start with a plain-language introduction to what semantic modeling is and why it matters in an AI-driven world. No prior knowledge of ontologies\, taxonomies\, or knowledge graphs required\, just a willingness to think about data differently.\n\nFrom there\, you'll get hands-on\, working through a guided scenario that takes you inside the process of mapping relationships between concepts\, seeing firsthand how Semaphore helps you define not just what your data is\, but what it means and how it connects.\n\nBy the end of the session\, you'll understand how semantic models become the intelligence layer that makes AI applications more accurate\, more trustworthy\, and more aligned with how your business thinks.\n\n

SUMMARY:Deploy\, Build\, and Explore the Progress Data Platform - Continued
DESCRIPTION:No prior PDP experience required\n\nWhat does it look like when enterprise-grade data management\, semantic enrichment\, and modern UI components come together in a single\, deployable package? In this session\, you're going to find out by building it yourself.\n\nThis two-hour hands-on training takes you inside the Progress Data Platform (PDP)\, designed to get you from zero to working application as fast as possible. No complex pre-configuration\, no black-box magic\, just a powerful platform you can see\, touch\, and understand.\n\nWe'll start with a guided walkthrough of the PDP package you're about to deploy. Then\, working together inside a pre-configured CloudShare environment with VS Code open so you can see exactly what's happening under the hood you'll use the platform's agentic deployer to stand up the full stack. Watch as the components install\, connect\, and come to life in real time.\n\nOnce the environment is running\, the platform itself generates a policy document library\, ingesting\, indexing\, and making it immediately queryable. In the first hour\, you'll work through this shared scenario together\, exploring how PDP handles complex enterprise data\, adds semantic intelligence on top of it\, and let's you vibe-code a polished application with remarkable speed.\n\nIn the second hour\, the environment is yours. Iterate further on the policy library\, customize your application\, or bring in your own documents and watch the platform adapt.\n\nEvery attendee leaves with&nbsp\;30 days of free access&nbsp\;to keep deploying\, keep building\, and keep discovering what the Progress Data Platform can do for their organization.\n\n

SUMMARY:Getting Business Buy-In: Turning Technical Capability into Measurable Outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Securing business buy-in remains one of the most important barriers to successful data\, AI and knowledge management initiatives. Technical teams often understand the capability\, but struggle to express its value in terms that resonate with finance\, operations and executive stakeholders. This session provides a practical framework for translating technical investments into business outcomes that can be understood\, funded and sustained.The session will examine how to connect platform capabilities to measurable value\, including efficiency gains\, improved decision-making\, reduced risk\, better customer or citizen outcomes and stronger operational resilience. Attendees will learn how to frame ROI in financial and operational terms\, link initiatives to key performance and risk indicators\, and anticipate the questions stakeholders are likely to raise before approval.Drawing on field-tested examples\, the session will also explore how to build consensus across functions\, manage competing priorities and keep business sponsors engaged after initial approval. Participants will leave with a practical approach for turning technology proposals into business-backed programs with clear ownership\, measurable impact and long-term adoption.
