Modern enterprises need to develop a Data Governance Framework. For effective governance, this is generally underpinned by a catalog megastore. Unity Catalog provides that megastore across the lakehouse, enabling business users access to full metadata across the workspaces and allowing them to visualize the relationships across the data landscape. The creation of a knowledge layer is accelerated when this metadata is available for modeling in Stardog platform.
How do companies use graph databases in real life? At Stardog, our platform combines graph technology with semantics to enable knowledge graphs. Consider the ability to deeply understand and work with connections between organizations, people, transactions, and events (to name a few examples). Add in inferencing, scalability, and near real-time traversal of big data. The number of graph use cases explodes. Relational databases like SQL simply can’t deliver like graph can.
“Enterprises are heading not toward a “new normal” but rather a “no normal.” This theme, chosen by Gartner, reinforces many of the positions held by Stardog. We’ll give you a quick summary of the conference and our takeaways here.
Stardog 8.1.0 is now available! Read on to see what’s improved in Stardog Designer, Stardog Cloud, and the platform in general.
The Databricks Partner Connect integration makes it faster and easier for Databricks users. Get started on a path toward building a semantic data layer on top of the Databricks Lakehouse Platform. As an existing Databricks user, you can launch a new instance of Stardog Cloud using your Databricks credentials.
There are many reasons for data and analytics leaders to embrace graph techniques. These techniques can provide unique insight into business problems, especially those problems requiring contextual awareness of the connections and disconnections between multiple entities, including organizations, people, transactions, and events. A well-designed and richly populated graph can capture essential data relationships and their variable nature.
A trip report reflecting on the highlights of the 2022 Data & AI Summit. We discuss Spark Connect, Delta Lake 2.0, Databricks Unity Data Catalog, and Partner Connect. Databricks has mapped out a path to the future, and Stardog is well-aligned with our partner Databricks’ worldview.
Graph refers to a data organization system that emphasizes the relationships between data points. This approach contrasts with the more traditional relational data systems — where data is stored in tables.
For a knowledge graph to be useful, the data must be valid and consistent. However, concerns about messy data should not impede one from moving forward with a knowledge graph project.
Introducing the next major release of our Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform - Stardog 8.0, which contains new innovations to streamline data exploration and discovery for all citizen data users. Stardog 8.0’s new capabilities eliminate the need for specialized skills when querying a reusable, flexible semantic data layer, making it easier than ever before to accelerate data-driven insights across the enterprise.

What is the most disruptive force in the automotive industry? Electric engines? New business models? Consumer mobility? Nope. The real firebrand for the industry lies in a different kind of engine known as data. Automakers, suppliers, and dealers must adapt quickly to the changing landscape by harnessing the power of data and knowledge graphs to jump-start advanced analytics today.
