Knowledge Graph Life Cycle
11
Humans and Machines working together in an agile way
1. The development of knowledge graphs is an endeavour involving several stakeholders
2. Developing knowledge graphs means to proceed iteratively and agilely, not linearly
3. Humans and machines should be equally involved in building an enterprise knowledge graph
4. The knowledge graph is constantly being developed further in three loops that are linked together.
5. The aim is always to balance the three most important perspectives on the knowledge graph: representing domain knowledge, linking company data, and enriching it with user contexts.

E-commerce and Supply Chain Management
ChallengeThe company noticed that sales results coming from online retail stores was decreasing. As a result, not only were they losing money but also brand awareness. They were looking for a solution to influence product placement in online retail stores to a greater degree.
SolutionPoolParty Semantic Suite helped them offer a more personalized online experience for their customers with an Enterprise Knowledge Graph. A knowledge graph offers an ideal product structure to retailers that they can quickly implement into their Content Management Systems (CMS) to optimize product placement.
BenefitImplementing a knowledge graph led to higher and faster sales results, which could be achieved mainly because of superior user experience.

Healthcare
ChallengeOver 100 health-related information providers formed a horde of disconnected channels that made it difficult for citizens to find the right answers to health-related questions. To solve this problem, they were looking for a solution to connect all of this data in one reliable platform.
SolutionPoolParty Semantic Suite helped them develop a future-proofing and scaling information architecture built upon an Enterprise Knowledge Graph. PoolParty text mining automatically classifies all crawled information streams providing a consistent metadata layer while translating medical lingo into everyday language and vice versa.
BenefitAs a result, citizens and medical professionals receive advice on the proper action they must take when and where they need it. Reliable answers can now be given based on a large set of highly heterogeneous information source with help from guided assistants. Our client’s online platform is now the most widely used health information site in Australia.
