EDMC recognizes the urgent need to bring this new architecture and approach to its members and beyond.
In consultations with various members, analysts, and software vendors, we have launched the Data Innovation Lab (DIL).
EDM Council goals & principles for the Data Innovation Lab
To become the leading global industry open knowledge graph innovation lab and promote graph thought leadership.
Provide industry best practice graph standards, knowledge graph training and shared ontology development via community collaboration across the Graph ecosystem including industry, government, and academia.
Develop a sustainable financial sponsorship model in a structured, scaleable and feasible operating model.
Data Innovation Lab Deliverables
Provide training and Knowledge Graph methodology, industry best practices for developing Graph Platform Capabilities & scaleable Patterns
Graph implementation guidance – tool selection, architecture, related Graph tech ( AI, ML, data fabric)
Graph Tech & Tool directory with demos page for each ( informative, independent guidance of type of tool and purpose)
From simple Graphs to Industrial Knowledge Graphs
Basic Graph
Standalone
High-performance
Training sets for ML, NLP do not need to be reuseable
Interoperability is not required
Explanation support is not required
Knowledge Graph
Standalone, but can be integrated
Models (ontologies) are much more transparent, shareable, span multiple resources
Training sets for ML, NLP can be designed for reuse
Can support explanations, use semantics for better results, uncover bias
Enterprise Knowledge Graph
Integrates content across silos & applications
Provides the basis for common understanding across domain areas and lines of business
Supports alignment of data for internal analysis & regulatory reporting
Supports explanations, uses semantics for better results, limits bias
Industrial Knowledge Graph / Data Fabric
Integrates content across available resources
Provides the basis for common understanding across industry
Supports alignment of data for product research, basic science regulatory compliance & oversight, historical context
