Almato Bardioc
Semantic
data platform
In today's digital era, a semantic data platform is proving to be an indispensable tool for understanding complex data landscapes and realising their full potential. Almato Bardioc is a semantic data integration and processing platform that has been researched, designed and developed over a period of 20 years. It integrates numerous open-source technologies and combines them with our proprietary technology to create a complete operating system for data.
Bardioc provides all necessary components to develop scalable and networked applications for data integration, data processing, data analysis and data visualisation. Real-time analytics and AI technologies enable informed decision-making and maximize the value of data. Bardioc efficiently scales large data volumes with high processing speed while meeting the highest security and compliance requirements.
Additionally, Bardioc serves as an ontology-based operating system for enterprises and organizations in industry and public administration, enabling data- and AI-driven decisions of high relevance, elevating operational efficiency to a new level, and achieving hard-to-replicate competitive advantages. By mapping knowledge and information within a defined context, it also enhances the agility and innovative capacity of companies and organizations.
Bardioc is the central operating system for managing and storing very large amounts of data with contextual information. The foundation of this Operation System (OS) is highly scalable semantic graph.
Functional Architecture
In accordance with the fundamental architecture for operating systems outlined, Bardioc is designed as an operating system for data and has the following functional architecture:
Ontology
A central element of Bardioc's data model is the ontology, which was defined during the platform's development and has since been evolving. The ontology represents the semantic context in the structuring, integration, and analysis of data.
The OGIT Ontology, published by Almato, defines and organizes the relationships between various data entities by providing an IT-oriented view of the world based on business processes and people. Bardioc's OGIT Ontology is available as open source. Furthermore, custom extensions and the evolution of ontological expertise through private Ontology Extensions are possible.
A defined process is available for the evolutionary development and maintenance of the ontology and taxonomy. These are maintained in an open-source process and are publicly accessible at all times. This process documents who is responsible for specific ontology extensions and how connections between such sub-ontologies are decided and approved by the Ontology Board.
Meta-Modell der OGIT Ontology
The OGIT ontology can be extended with domain-specific extensions. Existing ontologies from the user's own environment or standardised and publicly available ontologies can also be integrated. OGIT Ontology Extensions ensure that these domain-specific languages can be integrated without adaptation, can follow their own evolution and are still fully integrated into the semantic context of the OGIT Ontology.
Thus, ontologies or other semantic structures that have already been developed and recognised as standard can be included in the Bardioc data pool without increasing the maintenance effort. At the same time, newly added data can be linked to existing data leaving limitless semantic interpretation or data queries.

Security by Design
Encrypted data storage and transmission, granular authorisations at data record level and token-based access mechanisms are inherent design criteria of the platform and not optional add-ons.
Scaling Options
Bardioc offers linear scaling options for very large data volumes. Many data projects start as pilot projects with small amounts of data. If the data volumes scale quickly and requirements for distributed systems, independent and efficient resource allocation without manual intervention and parallelisation of tasks are added, simple graph databases very quickly reach their limits.
Historization Function
Bardioc's historization function creates the basic prerequisites for compliance, audit security and explainability - prerequisites for using a data platform in any regulated environment. At the same time, it ensures a high level of efficiency by automatically allocating the most effective storage medium.
Own Ontology
With the OGIT ontology, Bardioc has its own ontology that supports the integration of other domain-specific languages (DSL) as well as the integration of ontology extensions. The defined and transparent process for evolving the ontology creates the conditions for an integrated semantic data pool.
Operating System for Data
The stringent design of Bardioc as an operating system for data and the availability of extensive APIs and SDKs means that programmes and applications can be fed to the data in the graph instead of having to extract the data from the graph and feed it to the programmes.
