Sparna is an IT consultancy specializing in the organization of knowledge, document annotation and indexing, and the opening up and reuse of data.
Sparna was founded in 2012 by Thomas Francart, an expert in ontology management systems, knowledge graphs, their modeling and feeding from organizational data sources.
Thomas has been working for 20 years with web data standards (RDF, OWL, SKOS, SPARQL, SHACL, etc.), thesauri, ontologies and knowledge graphs.
Our field of action
Our skills cover the entire spectrum of semantic data engineering projects. From initial training to implementation, including tool selection, system architecture, component integration, ontology modeling and data migration.
