The Knowledge Graph Cookbook was published during a book launch webinar which took place on April 22, 2020. The book explains why organizations need a knowledge graph and the best ways to build one.
The story behind the book
There are countless articles, slide decks and videos on the Internet about knowledge graphs. The topic is examined from different perspectives, e.g., from the point of view of artificial intelligence or in the context of extended possibilities for data analysis or information retrieval. Various standards, methods and technologies are suggested to the reader, and the moment of overstrain and disorientation, typical for the arrival of new technologies, quickly arises—so one wonders: “isn’t there a step-by-step recipe out there for how to create a knowledge graph like there is for classic dishes like Wiener schnitzel?”
Key takeaways of the Cookbook
- Why knowledge graphs are important and why you should care about them (‘Hunger is the best sauce’)
- How to get started with your knowledge graph initiative (‘Prepping the Kitchen’)
- Which personas are typically involved (‘Too many cooks?’)
- How to make knowledge graphs work (‘The proof is in the pudding!’) based on a set of basic ingredients and recipes
- How a system architecture could look like (‘A great chef is first a great technician’), and finally
- How the future of knowledge graphs could look like (‘Read the tea leaves’) with an outlook on how the post-corona society will deal with knowledge technologies and AI
