Giancarlo Guizzardi advances the fields of #semantics, #ontology, and #conceptualModeling with his work on the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), the OntoUML pattern language, and #explainableAI. Fun conversation. Hope you enjoy it, too. knowledgegraphinsights.com/giancarlo-gu...

Ora Lassila and @ktk.netlabs.org lead the W3C working group that is tackling the #RDF reification problem. RDF 1.2 introduces the reifier, which lets you annotate individual graph relationships with provenance, confidence, and source. knowledgegraphinsights.com/rdf12/

Long before Foundation Capital published their "trillion dollar opportunity" article about them, @trustspooky.bsky.social had been building a platform for #contextGraphs, aiming to ground probabilistic AI systems in a reliable knowledge system. knowledgegraphinsights.com/daniel-davis/

“Give your agent legs” is a wild way to say: “we hired a guy, and he has a backpack” Congratulations, you invented couriers

Best known as a #knowledgeGraph and #SHACL expert, @veronahe.bsky.social also connects #dataEngineering, #informationArchitecture, and #ontology practices via her consulting, teaching, and speaking. A fun conversation with an industry legend - hope you enjoy it as much as we did. buff.ly/YV5vFMW

I've been using it happily for years now, but it's only today that I need to cite something which is "forthcoming," and when I use CSL Variable: Status as suggested here www.zotero.org/support/kb/i... It's not taken up. Any ideas?

No one is better than @joereis.bsky.social at dismantling tech industry hype, like the current "context" craze. This was a fun and edifying and broad-ranging conversation. Hope you enjoy it, too. knowledgegraphinsights.com/joe-reis/

Few people have advanced the field of #contentDesign as much as Melanie Seibert. She's been designing content experiences and managing design teams for more than 25 years. She recently captured her best insights in a new book, "Managing Content Design Teams." ellessmedia.com/csi/melanie-...

Using time-tested #knowledgeGraph and #ontology design patterns, Robert Sanderson helps scholars and the general public access information about — and make connections across — millions of unique items in Yale's #culturalHeritage collections knowledgegraphinsights.com/rob-sanderson/

Human in the loop 😀

Zeiss' Service Copilot #agenticAI system includes #LLMs, but Max Gärber says that it's the system's solid #knowledgeGraph and metadata foundations that make it perform so well. An instructive and actionable conversation. Hope you enjoy it, too. knowledgegraphinsights.com/max-gaerber/

Tech is only as valuable as the problem it solves. 🤯 I joined @larry.bsky.social to share why we use a Neuro-Symbolic approach to solve narrow business problems with precision. Stop guessing; start knowing. 🎧 Listen: youtu.be/qVJW6AXwj88?... #EidenAI #NeuroSymbolicAI #KnowledgeGraphs

The complementary nature of #knowledgeGraphs and #LLMs is now clear and long-time knowledge engineering professionals like @unlockdatawithq.bsky.social are combining them in hybrid #neurosymbolicAI systems. Lots of pragmatic advice in this conversation. knowledgegraphinsights.com/quentin-reul/

OK, so all is ready now. 📢[[Bluesky]] people, follow bsky.app/profile/anag... and start contributing to this wonderful [[knowledge graph]] commons. All it takes is adding a pair of square brackets around key words and phrases in your posts.

25 years ago, @jahendler.bsky.social, web inventor @timbl.bsky.social, and early #AIagent expert Ora Lassila set out their #semanticWeb vision in Scientific American. Listen in on this fascinating behind-the-scenes account of the origins of their work. knowledgegraphinsights.com/jim-hendler/

Brad Bolliger came to #knowledgeGraphs via enterprise system design and data analytics. That background informs their pragmatic approach to the use of semantic technology that facilitates information exchange across government agencies. knowledgegraphinsights.com/brad-bolliger/

At Bloomberg, Tara Raafat applies the best #semantic practices and embraces the latest #AI technology to build #knowledgeGraphs, but engaging the right stakeholders and building the right kinds of teams is arguably the key to her success. knowledgegraphinsights.com/tara-raafat/

I'm hosting a conversation about hybrid AI next week. Truly smart systems need it all - good data, neural learning, and symbolic knowledge - and these folks know how to deliver it. www.digital-science.com/events/what-... #knowledgeGraphs #LLMs #enterpriseData

At Netflix, @alex.bertails.org and his team have adopted #RDF to build a Unified Data Architecture (UDA) and a #domainModeling language, Upper, that let them quickly and efficiently share complex #data with their internal engineering customers. knowledgegraphinsights.com/alex-bertails/

Super-fun to chat with @torreybird.bsky.social about her childhood family dinner-table conversations about semantics, her work aligning stakeholders on language and meaning in big digital projects, and how to close "semantic gaps" in complex organizations. knowledgegraphinsights.com/torrey/

What's the German word for that specific feeling of satisfaction you get when you find an inexpensive paint pen that writes REALLY clearly and nicely on a strange (but cool) coverstock that your fresh Field Notes uses, when regular ink or graphite doesn't show up very well at all?

So good to see @velitchkov.eu at Semantics 2025. Great presentation on applying data centricity and rules to gnarly procurement problems.

Casey Hart connects professional #ontology practice and the academic discipline of #philosophy and shows how concepts like epistemology, metaphysics, and rhetoric are relevant to both knowledge graphs and AI technology in general. knowledgegraphinsights.com/casey-hart/

This is terrible news, not just for fly research, Drosophila is a key model organism that helps us understand shared biological pathways and the systems that underpin many human diseases 💔💔💔

#AI adoption is growing in #LifeSciences, and a human-in-the-loop ( #HITL ) approach is an essential collaborator. HITL ensures accurate outcomes, eliminates bias, and allows humans to provide critical oversight. Read more: blog.metaphacts.com/human-in-the... #HumanInTheLoop #Research #Healthcare

@cmungall.bsky.social‬ tackles complex #knowledgeManagement challenges in the life sciences with well-honed collaborative methods and AI-augmented computational tooling, streamlining #ontology creation and #knowledgeGraph building. knowledgegraphinsights.com/chris-mungall/

Leveraging MCP and LLM-powered natural-language interfaces, Emeka Okoye has created RDF Explorer, a Model Context Protocol #MCP service that lets any developer surf the semantic web without having to learn #RDF. knowledgegraphinsights.com/emeka-okoye/

Tom Plasterer was instrumental in the creation of the now-widely-adopted #FAIRdata principle, the idea - driven by the introduction of the #semanticWeb - that data should be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable. knowledgegraphinsights.com/tom-plasterer/

stop letting venture capitalists set the agenda.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

Fact: It is my birthday. Fact: I run a free+ad-free newsletter about keeping tech/UX design accountable, called Product Picnic. Conclusion: legally, you have to subscribe to it. The word of the birthday boy is law!

One of the lessons of working with lots of different clients in lots of different businesses is that “building useful abstractions” is a very valuable skill, but one that absolutely cannot replace real operational knowledge of the things being abstracted

Drawing on her background in the #humanities and her pragmatic approach to business, Mara Inglezakis Owens has developed #knowledgeArchitecture practices that delight system users and demonstrate value to key stakeholders. And she's fun to talk with :) knowledgegraphinsights.com/mara-owens/

Manny Silva has created Docs as Tests, a system that integrates well-developed #techComms practices and a collection of engineering tooling, to help #technicalWriters streamline and constantly improve their software #documentation and #QA work. ellessmedia.com/csi/manny-si...

Frank van Harmelen's #AI research looks at how technical systems can best support #people. While some in the AI world seek to replace #humans with machines, he focuses on #hybridIntelligence that supports and collaborates with #people. knowledgegraphinsights.com/frank-van-ha...

No, we are not going to live on other planets. Bullshit artists like Musk might as well be the leaders of death cults. arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

Had a wonderful conversation with Larry, talking about Abstract Wikipedia, Wikidata, knowledge, and language barriers. Larry, thank you for having me over!

As the founder of Wikidata, @vrandecic.bsky.social has thought a lot about how to better connect the world's knowledge. His current project, Abstract Wikipedia, aims to let anyone on the planet contribute to the world's collective knowledge. knowledgegraphinsights.com/denny-vrande...

Charles Ivie on the "failure" of the #semanticWeb: Now that more than half of the world's web pages share #RDF annotations and #knowledgeGraphs are widely adopted across enterprises, let's call it what it is - a rousing success. knowledgegraphinsights.com/charles-ivie/

Andrea Gioia helps his clients build reusable #dataProducts to capitalize on the value in their #enterprise data assets. Built around collaboratively developed #ontologies, Andrea's products have evolved into something that might also be called a #knowledgeProduct.

At Autogram, @eaton.fyi has developed a #contentObservability framework to address the complexity of modern digital architectures, evaluating the composition, quality, health, and effectiveness of content programs to help enterprises measure their #contentROI. ellessmedia.com/csi/jeff-eat...

Dave McComb introduced the #data-centric architecture approach to break out of the application-centric quagmire that traps so many businesses, treating enterprise #data like the precious business asset that it is. knowledgegraphinsights.com/dave-mccomb/

Jeffrey A. "jam" McGuire and his business partner developed their "value map" framework to structure and organize #productMarketing information. It helps align internal stakeholders - and gets the right content to both business and technical users of the product. ellessmedia.com/csi/jam/

"On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. [Charles] Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' ... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." (from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage...)

The info you need to understand your organization's #metadata is already there. You just need to discover and document it. @olesenbagneux.bsky.social 's Meta Grid offers a surprisingly manageable way to accomplish this seemingly daunting task.

This is all true. Trust me; I'm a #taxonomist
