Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Francart is a Semantic Web Senior Consultant with 13+ years crafting knowledge-driven systems, specializing in RDF, SPARQL, OWL, SKOS and knowledge-graph architectures. Based in Tours, France, he combines hands-on development, integration and training with product-level leadership gained as former CTO at Mondeca, where he steered an enterprise knowledge management product and led an 8-person team. At Sparna since 2012 he advises clients on annotation architectures, linked open data and enrichment of search engines using domain vocabularies, bridging commercial and open-source stacks like Jena, RDF4J, GraphDB and Virtuoso. He’s equally at home defining ontology-based modeling patterns (FRBRoo, CIDOC-CRM, RiC-O, LRM) and implementing pragmatic pipelines for content-to-knowledge transformations. Known for translating complex cultural and archival standards into operational solutions, he pairs deep semantic expertise with a developer’s pragmatism and a teacher’s knack for making ontologies usable.
