Clark & Parsia Awarded Grant From NIST
Research will increase quality of complex enterprise information and software
WASHINGTON, DC, July 14, 2009 — Clark & Parsia announced today that it has been awarded an SBIR Phase II grant from NIST. Based on ARRA stimulus funding, the grant will support developing new data validation capabilities that build on OWL, the Semantic Web ontology language, and on Clark & Parsia technology.
“We think that the Clark & Parsia technology represents an opportunity to conquer the enterprise data validation challenge that exists in every large organization with complex data,” said Evren Sirin, Clark & Parsia’s CTO and SBIR Principal Investigator. “We are happy that NIST recognizes the potential of this technology and has decided to support our company.”
NIST invests in fundamental technology innovation that has the potential for high impact in meeting national and societal needs, particularly in the manufacturing sector. Grants are awarded based on a competitive review process performed by a panel of experts selected by NIST.
