$149 USDAs knowledge graphs bubble up into popular and business consciousness (lots of chatter on social media, recent articles in Forbes and the WSJ) it seems fitting to ask how this technology is relevant to the IA community (it is!) and provide an introduction to graph-curious IAs.
This half-day workshop will cover:
1) An introduction and definitions: what is a knowledge graph? Is it an ontology? Is it a graph database? What’s the difference?
2) Introduction to and overview of relevant technologies (graph databases and other interfaces)
3) How this technology is relevant to the practice of IA
4) A short hands-on activity to reinforce concepts and get attendees thinking in graphs
This workshop at is aimed at IAs who are interested in this topic but perhaps don’t know how to get started.
