More connected, more scalable, and more unified – the latest PoolParty release expands multi-project capabilities for the Recommender, enables SPARQL queries across combined graphs, streamlines cross-project semantic operations, and strengthens enterprise knowledge workflows through enhanced project linking.
The PoolParty Semantic Suite 2025 R2 (v9.7) is now live, bringing new capabilities that make it easier than ever to manage and connect knowledge across multiple projects. This release is accompanied by updates to Workbench 2.3 and Application Development Framework (ADF Search 1.7), all working together to deliver more powerful, multi-project semantic workflows.
A quick refresher: the PoolParty Recommender
First introduced in PoolParty 2022 R2, the PoolParty Recommender uses knowledge graph data enriched with taxonomic and ontological information to deliver high-quality content and concept suggestions. It was designed to help subject matter experts quickly discover the most relevant connections, boosting findability, navigation, and reuse of knowledge assets.
A big step for multi-project workflows
Now, with the 2025 R2 release, the Recommender evolves further — supporting complex, multi-project scenarios for organizations managing multiple taxonomies or ontologies.
With the release of PoolParty 9.7 you can now run SPARQL expansion queries across a combined graph of all selected projects. This is especially valuable for organizations managing multiple taxonomies and ontologies, helping them to unify search results and recommendations without duplicating work.
To make this possible across the PoolParty ecosystem:
- Workbench 2.3 now lets users perform Concept Extraction, Inference Tagging, and Recommendation across multiple projects in one go.
- ADF Search 1.7 supports multi-project selection via linked projects, ensuring recommendations are based on the right combination of project data.
Why this matters – a real-world scenario
In large organizations, different departments often maintain their own taxonomies and content. A central knowledge team can act as a hub, connecting these taxonomies to a master taxonomy to improve enterprise search and knowledge sharing.
Through Project Linking, it becomes possible to:
- Combine concepts from different business units.
- Improve relevance and consistency in search results.
- Surface content from one department on another’s platform via knowledge graph connections.
The new multi-project recommender capabilities make this possible at scale, supporting larger, more complex knowledge networks while ensuring that insights and content flow seamlessly across the organization.
Other highlights in PoolParty 9.7
- Advanced Recommender Result Filtering – New filter options in the /recommend API allow complex, JSON-based conditions for faster access to the most relevant results.
- Enhanced Multi-Level Tree Selection – Select multiple concepts or schemes across any hierarchy level for faster bulk operations.
- Redesigned Product Tours Interface – Guided onboarding now uses a clear “Green Circle with Tick” to mark completed tutorials.
- Visible Custom Classes in Collections – Custom classes are now displayed beneath collection URIs for better clarity.
- Bug Fixes – Resolved issues with restoring deprecated concepts and saved SPARQL queries disappearing in the Shell.
