The old homepage of the former virtual earth GmbH remains online for documentation purposes.

I am still active in the fields of AI, knowledge management and coaching, since the end of 2025 as a freelancer.

In an increasingly complex and data-driven world, companies need innovative approaches to master and efficiently utilize their flood of data. Semantic data models offer a revolutionary solution that enables companies to gain a holistic view of their data landscape and use it to make informed decisions and achieve sustainable business success.

To look at google 'Things, not strings' from 2012 from a different perspective:

Why, in many ontologies, such as gist, elements such as addresses or address components are not represented as strings, but as objects.

This forces us to attach strings to these objects. How impractical. One more hop to get to the printable address.

Introduction to Linked Open Data

Linked Open Data (LOD) is a method of data publication that aims to make data as accessible and linkable as possible. By using standards such as RDF (Resource Description Framework) and URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers), LOD enables efficient networking and integration of data across system and organizational boundaries.

Definition and meaning

Integrated knowledge management is a comprehensive approach that combines classic organizational knowledge management with technical knowledge management, enterprise content management (ECM) and enterprise application integration (EAI). This method aims to create an effective, holistic practice that enables companies to systematically capture, manage and harness information and knowledge.

A well-structured, company-wide glossary and well thought-out taxonomies are
indispensable tools for information integration and
knowledge management in a company. They provide a standardized basis
on which all company processes and structures are clearly defined and
communicated.

In the modern corporate landscape, the ability to quickly and efficiently
access relevant information is crucial to success.
Permanent IDs (PermIDs) play a central role in this. This concept,
inspired by practices from the Semantic Web, aims to assign a unique
identification number in the form of a URL to every
important element within a company - be it a person, an
organizational unit, a product or a service.

In the dynamic world of corporate management, the clear definition of vision and goals is crucial for success. The "Company Panorama" is an innovative service aimed at sharpening and consolidating these elements within a company. Inspired by Daniela Blickhan's "personality panorama", the company panorama has been specially adapted for the business context.

Requirements Engineering (RE) is a critical component in the software development process, ensuring that all functional and non-functional requirements are accurately captured, understood and implemented. My service in this area draws on extensive experience and a deep understanding of the necessary processes and methodologies to ensure your project success.
