Frequently asked questions

Bardioc Platform Features

What is Bardioc — and how does it work?

Bardioc is a semantic data platform that integrates, interprets, and activates enterprise data in real time. It uses a semantic graph to connect data to meaning, not just storage. Once onboarded, data becomes reusable, explainable, and ready for action across teams and use cases.

How is Bardioc different from traditional or ML-based platforms?

Unlike conventional systems that process data or machine learning models that detect patterns, Bardioc understands context and logic. It reasons, explains, and automates based on domain-specific semantics delivering transparency, reuse, and real-time decision support.

What are the main benefits for my company?

Bardioc helps you reuse data across silos, cut project prep by up to 50%, and reduce system complexity over time. It enables automation based on expert logic, improves governance, and accelerates innovation giving you speed, insight, and control.

What data can Bardioc handle and how is it stored?

Bardioc supports structured, unstructured, time-series, binary, and log-based data. It stores everything in a purpose-agnostic semantic graph, combining ontology metadata with object and time-series storage built for reuse, not redundancy.

How does Bardioc automate decisions and workflows?

Bardioc’s Reasoning Engine uses knowledge items — logic-based building blocks — to automate actions across domains. Every decision is explainable, traceable, and regulator-ready, making it ideal for complex, high-stakes environments.

Is Bardioc secure, scalable, and compatible with existing infrastructure?

Yes. Bardioc is cloud-agnostic and modular. It integrates via open APIs and native connectors, supports enterprise-grade security (including encryption and program governance), and scales with data, users, and complexity.

Why does a company need Bardioc?

The semantic data platform Bardioc simplifies data access, governance, and reuse across silos. It empowers organizations to use their data infrastructure more effectively, enabling faster decisions and scalable automation.

Why is Bardioc more efficient than traditional platforms?

Most platforms require heavy prep and static use cases. Bardioc works differently: From day one, data is copied and semantically linked into a clean foundation. It becomes reusable across domains, fueling insight, transformation, and efficiency without prepping new datasets for every use case. That saves up to 50 % of project effort. As knowledge and logic shift into Bardioc, legacy systems fade. The result: fewer dependencies, faster results, lasting impact.

What is semantic intelligence?

Semantic intelligence refers to the ability to understand the context and meaning of data. The semantic data platform Bardioc goes far beond pattern recognition. It enables machines to reason over data based on relationships and domain logic.

Can Bardioc run custom applications?

Yes, the semantic data platform Bardioc allows developers to build, deploy, and run custom applications for data processing, integration, and visualization using its governance and runtime infrastructure, bringing programs to the data instead of moving data to a program. This enables faster, safer, and more efficient execution where the data lives.

How does Bardioc support automation?

The semantic data platform Bardioc turns domain knowledge into logic-based knowledge items, which it uses to automate decisions and workflows across complex, multi-domain environments. This is done by Bardioc‘s Reasoning Engine. It operationalizes semantic logic to enable intelligent, explainable, and automated actions.

What programming models does Bardioc support?

Bardioc supports logic-based, semantic programming. Developers can build modular programs that interact with the graph, trigger actions, or expose services, and do so in the environment they’re most comfortable with. Whether you develop in IntelliJ, GoLand, VS Code, or your preferred IDE: Bardioc works as your semantic backend. You can use any language that compiles to the JVM or EVM, including Python, Java, Kotlin, Go, C, C++, Swift, Elixir, and more. Build locally. Deploy and run directly on Bardioc.

Can Bardioc integrate with existing IT infrastructure?

The semantic data platform Bardioc offers open APIs, standard connectors, and integration handlers to connect seamlessly with ERP, CRM, and IoT systems.

What are Knowledge Items in Bardioc?

Knowledge Items are atomic units of logic derived from expert input. They serve as the building blocks for Bardioc’s Reasoning Engine, enabling logic-driven automation and decision-making. Outside of reasoning and automation use cases, Knowledge Items are not required.

How does Bardioc provide explainability?

Every action in the semantic data platform Bardioc is traceable, ensuring that decisions and workflows are transparent and auditable.
