Itexplains in detailhow knowledge graphs workand how they can contribute tosuccessful business outcomes.

Knowledge graphs unleash the potential of data trapped in silo structures, network it and enrich it with meaning, because this is the only way to truly create value. Knowledge graphs are not about individual attributes but about connections and relationships, even when these are complex and diverse. This enable to create models that can be used by humans and computers alike. Therefore, knowledge graphs take the decisive step from data storage to knowledge representation, well suited for widespread use in business, R&D, and organizations.

Our whitepaper deliverscomprehensive insights how knowledge graphs work the way humans think and are therefore suitable for widespread use in enterprises. They are atransparent and explainable form of AI that uses its representation of knowledge to provide sound answersto complex domain-specific questions by representing subject areas and business processes in terms of theirrelationships. They create links and relationships, whether they be simple and uniform or complex and varied,and they enable the creation of models that can be used by both humans and computers.

The whitepaper highlights that knowledge graphs make distributed knowledge available at the right time and in the right context.In doing so, they leverage the knowledge of the enterprise for the automation of processes, for intelligentanalyses and for assistance functions – as independent, knowledge-graph-based applications or as intelligentservices for existing applications.

On this basis, fields like service, sales, after-sales and technical documentation can be revolutionized and transformed from cost centers into profit centers.
