EKG Foundation Initiatives

Maturity Model

The EKG Foundation is establishing the catalog of best practices for sustainable knowledge graph deployment based on the EKG Maturity Model – a set of criteria for evaluating readiness in EKG environments.

Principles

Our guiding principles are intended to provide guidelines for the development and deployment of an enterprise knowledge graph.  The principles emphasize shared meaning and content reuse that are the cornerstone of operating in complex and interconnected environments.  

EKG Portal

The EKG Foundation will offer curated access to published ontologies, tools, use cases and other resources needed for sustainable knowledge graph operations.

Making the Case for EKGF

The Enterprise Knowledge Graph Foundation was established to define

best practice and mature the marketplace for EKG adoption including:

​

 

STANDARDS  
Adopt semantic standards to solve the challenges of data management

 
METHOD  
Develop best practices for accelerated EKG deployment
​
ARTIFACTS  
A curated repository of reusable models and resources
​
COMMUNITY  
Build the mechanism for engagement and shared knowledge
​
ADVOCACY  
Advance the business cases for EKG adoption

​

EXECUTIVES

Executives who seek to realize the benefits (and minimize the risks) of semantic standards and EKG by having access to proven methods, best practices and a community of experts. 

VENDORS

Vendors who want to make it easier for organizations across information-intensive industry sectors to understand and successfully adopt their products and services.

ARCHITECTS & MODELERS

Architects and modelers who want access to reusable components, deployable models, ontologies, and interfaces that can be assembled and deployed within their environment.

CONSULTANTS

Consultants who are looking for access to EKG-related best practices as well as a community of potential customers and skilled practitioners.

TESTIMONIALS

“THE DEVELOPMENT OF A COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENT IS ONE OF THE PRINCIPLE OPERATIONAL GOALS OF THE EKG fOUNDATION"

DENNIS E. WISNOSKY / CO-FOUNDER, EKG FOUNDATION

FORMER CTO U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

FIBO PROCESS OWNER

 “DATA FRAGMENTATION HAS BECOME A SIGNIFICANT LIABILITY FOR FIRMS WHO WIND UP SPENDING COUNTLESS HOURS AND SIGNIFICANT MONEY MOVING DATA FROM ONE PLANE TO ANOTHER AND RECONCILING DATA MEANING. THE MORE COST-EFFECTIVE APPROACH IS TO ADOPT SEMANTIC STANDARDS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO RESOLVE AND MAP DATA IN A UNIFORM WAY ACROSS ALL DATA PIPELINES."

JACOBUS GELUCK / CO-FOUNDER, EKG FOUNDATION

CTO AT AGNOS.AI, FORMER LEAD ARCHITECT AT BNY MELLON

“THE FOUNDATION IS DEFINING A SET OF STANDARD CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING CAPABILITY READINESS IN EKG ENVIRONMENTS. WE ARE WORKING ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MASTER PORTAL OF PUBLISHED ONTOLOGIES, USE CASES, AND OTEHR RESOURCES NEEDED FOR SUSTAINABLE KNOWLEDGE GRAPH OPERATIONS."
