Knowledge Engineering

BigKnowledge^® is in the business of engineering solutions for knowledge-driven decision-support. Our core conviction is that, ultimately, complex decisions have to be made by humans. The role of computing is to provide support through continuous extraction of patterns from diverse knowledge artifacts, which are then presented to human analysts and decision-makers in an integrated manner that strengthens reasoning.

Today's complex decision-making environments require forward-thinking organizations to embrace a wide variety of data sources and methodologies. Integrating these requires not merely a set of techniques, but a unifying idea or principle. To us, space is that central organizing principle and we can leverage it in virtually any circumstance, whether you are dealing with patients' vital signs monitored in a hospital or tracking the financial performance of companies or having to compare the CVs of dozens of job applicants.

Multivariate Space

We have extensive experience designing and implementing analytical solutions for dealing with longitudinal and cross-sectional multivariate data. From criminology to biomedicine, finance, and environment, our data mining solutions allow analysts to see patterns and trends.

Network Space

From global commodity chains to social media, networks and their analysis are an essential element in making sense of contemporary business and society. We can extract, transform and analyze these networks and model their relationships with other knowledge spaces.

Geographic Space

The BigKnowledge team brings to its clients decades of experience in the capture, storage, editing, visualization, and exploitation of georeferenced data of all types, from aerial photography to LIDAR and remote sensing data and GIS models. We can integrate cartographic principles and GIS techniques into the analysis of any physical or abstract space, resulting in impactful decision-support products, from static displays to interactive, exploratory interfaces.
