Powering Standardization Through Smart Ontology Management
Standardize, Structure, and Distribute Ontologies with Ease.
Take Control of Your Information Standards.
From Fragmented Terms to Structured Vocabularies
Move from scattered definitions and inconsistent terminology to clear, structured, and connected vocabularies. Create ontologies that unify how information is defined and shared across teams and systems.
From Complex Tools to User-Friendly Control
You don’t need to be a developer to manage ontologies. Designed for information managers and data stewards, Laces lets you build, edit, and publish standards without code.
From Inconsistency to Governance
Eliminate ambiguity and manage changes over time. With built-in versioning, review workflows, and approvals, you ensure quality, traceability, and alignment across projects.
Goodbye Terminology Chaos. Hello Standardization.
Create and Structure Ontologies
Build ontologies from the ground up. Define concepts, map relationships, add constraints, and synonyms. All through an intuitive, no-code interface.
Structure and enrich your ontologies:
- Define concepts, units, and relationships
- Align with reference models and standards
- Capture synonyms and multilingual terms
Align & Link with Data Libraries
Link with established data libraries and standards like CFIHOS, ISO, or your internal enterprise models. Align new terms, manage versions, and extend standards while preserving traceability.
Take control of your reference standards:
- Connect to external vocabularies
- Align enterprise models with industry standards
- Manage and update your internal data libraries
Browse, Search, and Discover
Semantic search and user-friendly browsing make it easy to navigate your ontologies. Find terms, definitions, and mappings instantly.
Navigate your standards with ease:
- Search by meaning, not just words
- Browse structured hierarchies
- Link terms across standards and domains
Collaborate, Review, and Govern Ontologies
Assign roles, review proposed changes, and manage updates with full transparency. Built-in governance workflows ensure high-quality ontologies.
Governance made easy:
- Assign ownership and roles
- Review and approve changes
- Maintain traceability across versions
Publish and Integrate Your Ontologies
Expose your standards internally or externally via APIs or portals. Enable real-time use of structured data in tools like ERP, BIM, or asset systems.
Integrate standards without friction:
- Publish to internal or public web portals
- Enable use in digital engineering tools
- Share structured vocabularies across stakeholders
Ontologies: The Foundation for Standardized Data
Ontology Management is the practice of defining how data is named, categorized, and exchanged, using structured vocabularies known as ontologies. Whether you’re managing a corporate Object Type Library (OTL), a domain-specific dictionary, or a sector-wide classification system, ontologies lay the groundwork for reliable, high-quality data across every system and stakeholder.
With Laces, you can easily create, manage, and publish ontologies without writing a single line of code. The result?
- Clear communication across teams, departments, and technologies
- Seamless interoperability between tools, platforms, and partners
- Unambiguous terminology: one concept, one definition
- Faster, cleaner handovers across long and complex project lifecycles
