    Define the language your enterprise thinks in.

    Fluree ITM is the taxonomy and ontology workspace built for business users, taxonomists, and domain experts. Create, govern, and publish the controlled vocabularies that power your knowledge graph, AI agents, content tagging, and data classification.

    Why This Matters Now

    Your AI is only as smart as your vocabulary.

    Every system in your enterprise describes the world differently. Salesforce calls them "accounts," your ERP calls them "clients," billing calls them "customers." Nothing in your data stack knows they are the same entity.

    Fluree ITM creates a shared, governed language for your business — preserving each system’s vocabulary while building crosswalks across all of them, so any application finds what it needs, whatever terms it uses. The result: a semantic foundation that brings your knowledge graph, AI agents, and data classification to near-human precision.

    Governance Workflow

    Create, govern, and publish your enterprise vocabulary.

    Every change moves through one governed workflow — created in the workspace, reviewed and approved, then published to the knowledge graph and AI systems that rely on it.

    Create

    Build taxonomies, ontologies, and controlled vocabularies visually.

    Tree view, whiteboard mode, search-first bulk editing, multilingual labels, and rich semantic relationships make model creation practical for business experts — not just engineers.

    Govern

    Changes do not go live until they are reviewed, approved, and auditable.

    Maintenance workflows, candidate management, stable versus modified versions, lifecycle statuses, and complete audit trails keep the model trustworthy as it evolves.

    Publish

    Push governed vocabularies into the rest of the platform without rebuilding anything.

    Publish your semantic models to Fluree Core, guide extraction in CAM, drive classification in Sense, and expose your enterprise vocabularies through APIs and read-only portals.

    Why It Pays Off

    What governed vocabularies unlock.

    The payoff of managing taxonomies and ontologies in one governed workspace — instead of spreadsheets, wikis, and tribal knowledge.

    One language across every system

    CRM “accounts,” ERP “clients,” and billing “customers” resolve to one governed concept — so any application finds what it needs, whatever terms it uses.

    AI accuracy grounded in meaning

    Governed vocabularies give your knowledge graph, AI agents, and data classification a shared semantic foundation — the difference between fuzzy retrieval and near-human precision.

    Change you can trust

    Nothing goes live until it is reviewed and approved. Complete audit trails keep every create, update, and delete traceable to an actor and a timestamp.

    Publish without rebuilds

    Push governed vocabularies to Fluree Core, CAM, and Sense — or expose them through APIs and read-only portals — without re-engineering downstream systems.

    Multilingual from day one

    Language-tagged labels and notes keep one concept consistent across English, French, German, Japanese, and every locale your teams work in.

    Standards-based, never locked in

    SKOS, RDF, OWL, and ISO 25964 support — with full import and export across Excel, CSV, RDF, SKOS, OWL, and XML — keeps your vocabularies portable.

    Capabilities

    Built for modern taxonomists.

    Built for taxonomists and domain experts, not just developers.

    Tree view for exploring hierarchies, whiteboard mode for visual concept-building, and search-first results for bulk edits. No SPARQL, no schema migration tickets — just a governed workspace where the people who know the language can shape it.

    Security & Deployment

    Enterprise-grade security. Flexible deployment.

    OIDC, OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, LDAP, workspace roles — and your choice of on-premises, cloud, or hosted deployment.

    Identity and access management

    Enterprise IAM support covers OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, SAML 2.0, SSO/SLO, LDAP and AD federation, and two-factor authentication. Roles can be assigned per workspace so readers, contributors, editors, and administrators all get the right level of access.

    Deployment

    On-premises

    Deploy in your environment with dedicated infrastructure, controlled access, and architecture designed for enterprise governance needs.

    Deployment

    Your cloud

    Run fully dockerized in AWS, Azure, or GCP with infrastructure control and enterprise IAM integration.

    Deployment

    Hosted

    Use a managed deployment model with dedicated environments and no shared tenant data paths.

    How It Compares

    ITM vs. legacy taxonomy tools.

    Governance workflows, native versioning, multilingual labels, and direct knowledge-graph publishing — side by side with the spreadsheets and adapted tools ITM replaces.

    FAQ

    Yes. ITM supports SKOS, RDF, OWL, and ISO 25964, imports from RDF, SKOS, and Excel, and exports to Excel, PDF, HTML, CSV, RDF, SKOS, OWL, and XML — so vocabularies stay portable and standards-compliant.

    Yes. A guided import assistant maps spreadsheet columns to vocabulary properties and validates rows before commit. Bulk tooling and scheduled scripts handle large, repeatable ingestion.

    Published vocabularies flow directly into the Fluree platform — the knowledge graph in Fluree Core, document extraction in Fluree CAM, and data classification in Fluree Sense — and reach other systems through APIs and read-only portals.

    No. Tree view, whiteboard mode, and search-first bulk editing let taxonomists and domain experts shape vocabularies visually — no SPARQL, no schema migration tickets.

    Your AI accuracy starts here.

    The knowledge graph is only as good as the vocabulary it’s built on. ITM is where that vocabulary is created, governed, and published — the semantic foundation your entire AI and data stack depends on.
