Many question the practicality of #LLMs for real-world problems. Here’s a concrete example: OpenAI’s support for the #OpenAPI (formerly Swagger) standard underlies our Virtuoso Support Assistant’s #CustomGPT functionality, allowing direct execution of #VirtuosoRDBMS-hosted stored procedures via its #OPAL middleware layer. In the attached GIF, a publicly available Virtuoso Support Assistant is tasked with finding the cheapest online offer and then performing a ‘purchase’ action. #UseCase #GenAI #AI #KnowledgeGraph #CDO #CTO #CIO #CAIO #CMO #LinkedData

With free ODBC and JDBC drivers, you get what you pay for—but in today’s highly connected world, that’s simply not enough.

This article applies the 5 Whys methodology to uncover how short-term database integration choices can lead to long-term constraints, increasing technical debt and reducing agility. One of the most effective ways to mitigate this risk is through Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)—a proven, vendor-agnostic standard that ensures seamless interoperability across diverse database systems. #CDO #CAIO #CIO #CTO #CMO #ODBC #Database #TechnicalDebt

In the age of AI, data access is everything, and our ODBC drivers provide the key to unlocking structured, interoperable, and secure data sources—whether relational databases or knowledge graphs. By enabling Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows that incorporate SQL- and SPARQL-accessible data, these drivers empower AI-enabled, ODBC-compliant productivity tools and development frameworks like LangChain and LlamaIndex to deliver more accurate, reliable insights while minimizing hallucinations. #GenAI #AI #DataConnectivity #ODBC #DataAcces #Middleware #Database #DBMS #KnowledgeGraphs #RAG #CIO #CDO #CTO #CMO

Imagine seamlessly connecting enterprise data silos—spanning SQL, SPARQL, Knowledge Graphs, and document collections—to cutting-edge AI systems like OpenAI’s GPT, Anthropic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini (in the works). That’s exactly what OPAL delivers! As a Virtuoso Data Spaces add-on, OPAL empowers organizations to deploy AI agents that offer real-time, context-aware insights, personalized customer experiences, and scalable, secure data interactions. Dive into the latest OPAL overview to discover how it drives smarter decision-making and enhanced efficiency through open standards-based middleware, seamlessly and loosely coupled with data spaces—including databases, knowledge bases, graphs, and document collections. #CDO #CAIO #CIO #CMO #CTO #AI #GenAI #OPAL #RAG #GraphRAG #KnowledgeGraph #LinkedData #VirtuosoRDBMS #SQL #SPARQL

In an AI-driven world, high-quality data is the lifeblood of AI Agents. Data creatives—those who create and curate datasets—can now publish quality data, information, and knowledge, protecting and monetizing them with fine-grained Attribute-Based Access Controls (ABAC). This article demonstrates how OPAL, in combination with the Virtuoso Data Spaces platform, offers a cost-effective, standards-based solution to this challenge—highlighting how to crawl and generate RDF renditions of BBC Good Food recipes as a practical example.
