graphs in Semantic Web
of Things
IoT? lets you run
Google-like
queries on it
A few use cases:
Build a visual map to manage an IoT
network and quickly identify issues
Integrate Siloed Data and Metadata in
an IoT Network, a.k.a, create a Digital
Thread. (similar to Data Mesh/Fabric)
Use GraphML and CausalML to reason
over the graph and analyze data

What is a
Graph?
It's not a
chart!
Graphs
visualize
Entities and
Relationships
Charts

What is a
Property
Graph Model?
The most popular
model for modern
graph databases!
Nodes
Represent Entities that have
0 or more properties (key-value
pairs, e.g. "Name")
0 or more labels (declare
purpose or type, e.g. "Device")

0 or more properties (e.g. "distance")

What is a
Knowledge
Graph? "a rich index
over data that
provides
curation"
A Data Model that
supports Knowledge
Discovery!
Knowledge graphs are
Interlinked sets of facts
that describe real-world
entities and their
interrelations in human-
and machine- readable
format.
Knowledge graphs have
An organizing principle that allows a human or
computer to reason about the underlying data.

What about "...view this
not as schema or
the Data? schemaless, but
schema-ish"
Where is the data?
Wherever you want!
Graph database
Data Lake
RDMS
etc.
What about a schema?
You can apply
The Property Graph Model is
constraints to require
deliberately flexible.
some properties exist,
are unique, etc.
The IDEA is to change and update the
graph over time. A combination of
standardization and
"People and systems using a customization is key.
knowledge graph enrich it."
