Abstract

Large organizations like the Fortune 500 and the Federal Government are at varying levels of maturity in their journey to manage their data with semantics and knowledge graphs. This session will show case studies on how these organizations started their journeys by creating building blocks of controlled vocabularies, such as taxonomies and ontologies, and how they are creating semantic data products using these building blocks. Finally, we’ll discuss how these leading organizations are leveraging semantic data products to pave the path for enterprise metadata management, such as semantic data catalogs.
