Patent Images
1. A semantically enhanced financial information system providing a network semantic graph comprising concept instances and relations between the concept instances, the system comprising:
- a plurality of semantic servers in communication with each other and with distributed sources, wherein each of the plurality of semantic servers comprises;
a first interface for receiving financial information from a market data service;
a second interface for receiving semantic data including semantically descriptive annotations from the distributed sources and other ones of the plurality of semantic servers;
a processor programmed to;
process the semantic data based on the semantically descriptive annotations of the semantic data to form a local semantic graph that associates the concept instances with each other using the relations; and
integrate the financial information with the local semantic graph to enable tracking at least one entity and at least one instrument and relationships to other entities and instrument that may financially affect the at least one entity and the at least one instrument; and
memory for storing the local semantic graph;
wherein each local semantic graph of each of the plurality of semantic servers comprises a portion of the network semantic graph distributed across the plurality of semantic servers.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing semantically enhanced financial information are provided. Semantic information integration and computing technologies may be utilized to create and maintain an up-to-date semantic graph encapsulating with nodes and links the business associations among companies, assets, and financial instruments in an industry. The systems and methods provide and use an up-to-date knowledge map for an industry in which an entity, such as a company, operates.

18. A semantically enhanced financial information server storing a local semantic graph comprising concept instances and relations between the concept instances, the semantic server comprising:
-
a first interface for receiving financial information from a market data service; a second interface for receiving data including semantically descriptive annotations from distributed sources and other ones of the plurality of semantic servers; a processor programmed to; process data based on the semantically descriptive annotations of the data to form the local semantic graph that associates the concept instances with each other using the relations; and integrate the financial information with the local semantic graph to enable tracking at least one entity and at least one instrument and relationships to other entities and instrument that may financially affect the at least one entity and the at least one instrument; and memory for storing the local semantic graph, the local semantic graph comprising part of a network semantic graph distributed among a plurality of semantic servers. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)

25. A method for providing at least one client access to a network semantic graph distributed among a plurality of semantic servers wherein the network semantic graph comprises concept instances and relations between the concept instances, the method comprising:
-
receiving first data including semantically distributed annotations from distributed data sources in communication with the plurality of semantic servers; based on the first data including the annotations, linking the concept instances using the relations; storing the concept instances and relations as a local semantic graph comprising a part of the network semantic graph; receiving financial information from a market data service or another one of the plurality of the semantic servers; integrating financial information with the local semantic graph to enable tracking at least one entity and at least one instrument and relationships to other entities and instrument that may financially affect the at least one entity and the at least one instrument; creating at least one subscription of interest over the network semantic graph in response to a request from the at least one client; collecting second data from the distributed data sources based on the at least one subscription; semantically annotating the second data; updating the local semantic graph based on the semantic annotation; and sending alerts to the at least one client based on updates to the local semantic graph matching the at least one subscription of the at least one client. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27)

28. A system for providing a semantic event-driven application for managing information affecting the value of at least one entity and at least one financial instrument related to the at least one entity using a semantic computing application server, including:
-
a mechanism to create a semantic graph encapsulating the at least one entity and the related at least one financial instrument and the relationships to other related entities; a second mechanism allowing a plurality of information sources to communicate with the system to enhance the semantic graph when new information about the at least one entity and the related at least one financial instrument is found, an alerting mechanism to inform users when news that may affect the at least one entity or the related at least one financial instrument is received; and an action mechanism enabling the users to define what actions to take in response to the received news. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35)
