In the geoscience community, collaboration is critical. Different disciplines — engineering geologists, geochemists, hydrologists — need to share their findings with each other to address big questions about the earth. Take climate change. What factors contribute to it? What impact will it have? Oceanographers who study the dynamics of oceans do their work individually […]
Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise Knowledge Graphs: Better Together
At the heart of things, an enterprise knowledge graph supports decision and process augmentation based on linked data. These models of knowledge domains are created by subject matter experts with the help of machine learning algorithms. They live as virtual data layers on top of existing databases or data sets to link both structured and […]
Graph Databases in the Spotlight
Graph databases are distinguished by relationships. Users can query, for example, the connections that relate a customer to an account that he or she owns, or how many degrees of separation exist between Kevin Bacon and Audrey Hepburn. Ontologies are a key underpinning, providing a data model to describe things in a database. Metadata and […]
Enterprise Data Unification and Knowledge Graphs: Making Complexity Simple
A challenge for large businesses working with data is how to manage and unify it. Many companies, seeking to better utilize their data, collect massive amounts of data regarding their customers’ online activity, preferences, and demographics. This can lead to the development of vast data lakes. Without a screening process, a data lake will enable […]
