Semantic Layer Symposium 2026
October 14 - October 15
Meet Graphwise at the Semantic Layer Symposium 2026
Graphwise is excited to take part in the Semantic Layer Symposium (SLS) 2026, taking place October 14-15, 2026, at Palais Coburg in Vienna, Austria.
The Semantic Layer Symposium is a leading forum where industry thought leaders, data experts, and practitioners come together to explore the transformative potential of Semantic Layers, a foundational architecture for bringing context and meaning to data, and a critical enabler of Knowledge Intelligence. Designed for professionals seeking to move beyond theoretical discussions, SLS focuses on real-world use cases, actionable strategies, and proven paths to delivering measurable value.
Our speaking session
In a joint presentation with Roche, Graphwise will take the stage to share how a true semantic layer can unlock enterprise-scale AI readiness.
From Strings to Science: Implementing a True Semantic Layer for AI Readiness at Roche
Speakers: Dr. Martin Romacker, Product Manager, Roche Data Marketplace · Ilian Uzunov, VP Vertical Sales, Graphwise
A “true” semantic layer transcends pure technical and business lineage. It requires governed semantic assets: ontologies, metadata, FAIR vocabularies, and GUPRIs. We move beyond string-based approaches to highly engineered, concept-based models, making data truly AI-ready. Using GraphDB for 6+ years, Roche has built a scalable RDF infrastructure transforming data assets into actionable knowledge. We will show how semantic connectivity provides the strategic foundation for enterprise-scale intelligence.
