The Enterprise Knowledge Graph Foundation is working on multiple initiatives that have lead to various websites:

ekgf.org

The main website of the Foundation: https://ekgf.org

Principles

The EKG/Principles: https://principles.ekgf.org, this is a project that is being maintained in the GitHub repository EKGF/ekg-principles.

The EKG/Principles website is a combination of long term vision statements---the "Why"--- combined with the underlying principles for EKG---the "How".

You're welcome to contribute.

Maturity Model

The Maturity Model for the Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG/Maturity): https://maturity.ekgf.org, this is a project that is being maintained in the GitHub repository EKGF/ekg-maturity.

You're welcome to contribute.

Catalog

Use cases and their Datasets & Ontologies

The EKG/Catalog describes all the common use cases (and some of their "sub-use cases") for EKG: https://catalog.ekgf.org

One major goal that we are working towards to is to publish "use cases as executable models" and make them available for download as modules, basically creating the same kind of ecosystem of reusable components as many other successful technology-stack have. This is comparable to what "Maven Central" is for the Java world or what "npmjs.com" is for the JavaScript world.

You're welcome to contribute.

Use Case Tree Method

A proposal for a front-to-back method to support your EKG journey: https://method.ekgf.org, this is a project that is being maintained in the GitHub repository EKGF/ekg-method.

You're welcome to contribute.

  • Short term:
    • Audience: Business Executive, Vendor
    • Understand the business problems that can, and have, been addressed
    • Use a framework for structuring projects
    • Get directed to relevant reuse points in other portals (e.g. for ontologies)
  • Long term:
    • Audience: Executive, Vendor, Knowledge Graph Engineer
    • Identify, select, download & provision production-ready use cases

Best Practices

  • Audience: Project Lead, Consultant, any role in the EKG Center of Excellence
