Foundational Leadership
We Didn't Adopt the Standards.
We Created Them.
The Semantics team are the original authors of three foundational frameworks that underpin enterprise semantic engineering and applied ontology worldwide. This is not a differentiator — it is a category of its own.
Unified Foundational Ontology
Rigorous Formal Ontology
A formal foundational ontology defining the basic categories of reality that any enterprise knowledge model must faithfully represent. Currently being standardized as part of the ISO 21838 series, UFO is used worldwide by companies and governments to support semantically grounded modeling, interoperability, and knowledge representation .
OntoUML
Ontologically Well-Founded UML Profile
An ontologically grounded language for conceptual modeling, built directly on UFO. OntoUML extends UML with rich stereotypes that are semantically precise by design — enabling organizations to build domain models that are expressive, unambiguous, and AI-ready. Adopted by governments, multinationals, and standards bodies globally.
FAIR Data Principles
Global Data Interoperability
Our leadership team co-authored and shaped the original FAIR principles and the FAIR Data Point specifications. We define what it means for enterprise data to be truly Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable at a global scale, driving modern data stewardship standards across industries.
Our Team
World-Leading Experts
A collective of world-leading academics and expert practitioners. We bring unmatched depth to enterprise data challenges.
A global leader in FAIR data principles and semantic interoperability, Luiz co-developed the FAIR Data Point specification and has been instrumental in shaping international FAIR data standards across healthcare, life sciences, and enterprise contexts.
Expert in software engineering and applied ontology with deep research experience in OntoUML and UFO-based modeling. Specializes in transforming complex domain knowledge into precise, machine-readable computational models — bridging theoretical rigor and real-world engineering delivery.
Strategist focused on bridging world-class semantic research and enterprise-scale execution. Felipe leads Semantics' commercial and operational direction, translating cutting-edge ontology science into tangible business outcomes — from initial assessment through to large-scale deployments.
World-renowned researcher in conceptual modeling and formal ontology. Original creator of UFO, OntoUML, and gUFO — the foundational frameworks that define the field. With three decades of experience, Giancarlo has helped organizations across several sectors transform their data foundations through rigorous ontological engineering. One of the most cited researchers in applied ontology globally.
