In this presentation we showcase the use of Semantic Web in AriadNEXT’s IDCHECK.IO document verification service. This service has been introduced for a number of years now. It has recently seen a speed up in its market adoption due in large amount to the introduction of a new semantic web data model workflow. We will start by introducing the research project behind this technology upgrade, then explain our approach, focusing on what problems the use of semantic web solves, and finally give some highlights of the perceived business benefits.
