Enterprise Knowledge Graph Launch Webinar

​

The EKG Foundation is a non-profit trade association established as a coordination body for the knowledge graph community.  The response (across a variety of markets) has been exceptional.  We invite you to join the Foundation and add your voice to the agenda and work plan of the organization.  Below are links to the materials (slides, recordings, poll results) from the launch webinar including:
 

  • The business case and rationale for the new organization

  • The principles required to ensure EKG sustainability

  • The criteria for measuring EKG maturity and benchmarking

  • The results of polls on both the inhibitors to adoption and EKGF priorities

"The development of a collaborative environment

is one of the principal operational goals of the EKG Foundation”

EKG PORTAL

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

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.

ACADEMICS

Academics who are making a meaningful and recognized contribution that builds upon existing frameworks to address pressing business needs.

 

 “Data fragmentation has become a significant liability for firms who wind up spending countless hours and significant money moving data from one place 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."
