Here’s a deck illustrating how Virtuoso is used by the Cellar project at the European Union Publications Office. The deck was generated by NotebookLM from a Markdown document derived from EU service pages—produced by a single AI agent skill built with the OpenLink AI Layer (OPAL) and also deployed through Virtuoso.

The latest open source edition of our Virtuoso platform is now live! At its core, Virtuoso is a high-performance, secure, and highly scalable, multi-model database management system (DBMS) supporting both relational tables and fine-grained entity relationship graphs. #Software #Database #DBMS #DataSpaces #Filesystem #AI #AgenticWeb #SemanticWeb #KnowledgeGraphs #LinkedData #Middleware #GraphRAG #SQL #SPARQL #SPASQL #GraphQL #GQL #openCypher

Robert Scoble has a spontaneous chat with Kingsley Uyi Idehen (our Founder & CEO) about the Semantic Web vision in the age of AI. This insightful session covers a lot of ground, including on-the-spot demonstrations of how the Semantic Web technology stack can make the Web experience 100x better in virtually every conceivable way. https://lnkd.in/eJmUaxGc #CxO #Software #Business #AI #Trends #SemanticWeb #AgenticWeb #LinkedData #DataSpaces #Filesystem #DBMS #DataAccess #KnowledgeGraphs

The power of Web and Internet connectivity *is not* incompatible with business models and commerce. In fact, a Semantic Web enables far better business models—ones that are symmetric rather than asymmetric in nature, balancing addressable market opportunities across content creators, publishers, and distributors. #Business #Software #DaaS #SaS #SaaS #SemanticWeb #KnowledgeGraphs
The Web expanded access to the Internet by providing an ultra-flexible interface via hyperlinks rendered through HTML documents. Unfortunately, its connectivity magic was quickly captured by Web 2.0, driven by an intense focus on monetization, aided by moats built around protocol implementation complexity and GUIs. We all know how that has played out. Now we have AI agents, skills, and data spaces (databases, knowledge bases, filesystems, and APIs) taking shape in a loosely coupled fashion, finally enabling both connectivity and better business models—all courtesy of an increasingly Semantic Web powering an Agentic Web. Here’s a presentation, courtesy of #NotebookLM, derived from my notes on what comes next, enabled by attribute-based access control as an intrinsic component of the emerging Agentic Web. #CDO #CAIO #CDIO #CIO #CTO #CxO #CMO #AI #Agentic #AgenticWeb #LinkedData #Web20 #SemanticWeb #Business #ABAC #Software #Explainer #DataSpaces #FileSystem #APIs #KnowledgeGraphs #VirtuosoRDBMS

Virtuoso makes the Semantic Web vision easy to understand and utilize, right now. #SemanticWeb #VirtuosoRDBMS #HowTo #KnowledgeGraphs #LinkedData
The Semantic Web Project—stubbornly resilient and rich with critical infrastructure that complements the emerging age of AI agents—is making a marketing and communications comeback. Like the Unix philosophy and filesystems as universal interfaces, it forms the third leg of an important stool upon which secure, useful, and scalable AI will be built. You can’t keep good technology down, even when its existence predates broader commercial awareness—which is exactly what’s playing out now. Compute economics is forcing AI agents to “look back to the future” in search of Internet & Web infrastructure for business models that actually scale. Here's a Semantic Web vision demo I put together as I continue to see a growing number of posts celebrating the Semantic Web vision and the power of ontologies (once a banned word too!).

"Most organizations don’t choose their database connectivity. It’s chosen for them." Unfortunately, this is the root cause of data access–related technical debt and competitive inertia—issues that are only magnified in the age of AI. #DataAccess #DataConnectivity #Database #ODBC #JDBC #Middleware #Explainer #ABAC #DataGovernance #AI #GenAI
**The Problem** Most organizations don’t choose their database connectivity. It’s chosen for them. ODBC and JDBC drivers arrive bundled with their systems of record. “Native” connectors come along for the ride. It all looks convenient—until it isn’t. What follows is familiar: creeping complexity, endless configuration, and a quiet accumulation of technical debt. Security becomes reactive. Governance becomes fragile. Now introduce AI agents—relentless, automated, and operating at scale. What was already difficult is about to become unmanageable. **The Solution** We solved this problem a long time ago. Our multi-tier (Enterprise Edition) database connectivity drivers for ODBC and JDBC—part of a vertically integrated stack—were designed for precisely this challenge. They separate concerns. They enforce control. They bring governance back where it belongs—at the point of access. Not as an afterthought. As a foundation. See It in Action Here’s a #NotebookLM presentation that lays it out clearly: the problem, why it persists, and how our Request Broker and Database Agents have consistently addressed it. Enjoy. #CDO #CDIO #CAIO #CIO #CTO #CMO #DataConnectivity #Database #Middleware #RDBMS #ODBC #JDBC #Explainer #DataSecurity #DataGovernance

The OpenLink AI Layer (#OPAL) and our Virtuoso platform (#VirtuosoRDBMS) make this real. Today, you can even start the journey using a collection of skills and instructions issued in natural language.
Using the notebook pattern to build a computable mind, leveraging signs (words), syntax (grammar), and semantics (meaning applied to grammatical slot positioning). The goal of this #NotebookLM presentation is to light on the important topic of context and context graphs. I'll be sharing a deck in a follow-on post.

It uses fine-grained, attribute-based access controls to govern connectivity to backend DBMS platforms.Understanding our powerful Request Broker for orchestrating Database Agents (e.g., ODBC or JDBC Driver Bridges).

Here's our ODBC Driver Administrator Skill for creating and testing ODBC Data Source Names (DSNs). It's usable by any AI Agent and platform that supports the SKILLS.md open standard. Benefit? It makes ODBC easier to use, which means DBMS independence just got a lot simpler! See comments for links. #ODBC #Database #AI #Agentic #AgentSkills #Middleware #SQL #RDBMS

Our Virtuoso Data Spaces platform uniquely combines a DBMS (tables and graphs), a web application server, document management, and filesystem services in a single product. Its support for open standards is an investment that is paying off in the age of AI. It integrates naturally with LLMs, AI agents, and agent skills. The Virtuoso platform also benefits immensely from recent AI innovations. For instance, coding agents (e.g., Claude Code and OpenAI Codex) simplify the exposure of its unique capabilities while also aiding the transformation of its administrative interface (a.k.a. the Virtuoso Conductor), as the attached screencast demonstrates. #DBMS #DataSpaces #Filesystem #ContextGraph #KnowledgeGraphs #LinkedData #SemanticWeb #AI #Agentic #VirtuosoRDBMS
