Transforming How Organisations See Data
For decades, organisations have managed their data in two separate worlds. On one side is structured data - numbers, categories, and neatly organised information - stored safely in databases and easily processed by machines. On the other side is unstructured data - the rich, nuanced content buried in emails, chat logs, documents, images, and social media comments - largely out of reach for computers.
🔵 LLMs Changed The Game:
LLMs can now sift through mountains of text to uncover insights and connections, understanding sentiment, context, and relationships in ways that were previously impossible. Suddenly, unstructured data can be treated as if it were structured. But traditional tabular databases are too rigid to handle the complex, nuanced relationships revealed in this data.
🔵 Knowledge Graphs Structure Complex Data:
This is where knowledge graphs come in. They offer a more flexible and expressive way to structure data, capable of modelling complex networks of information. With knowledge graphs, you can transform unstructured text into triples - subject > predicate > object - and these triples together form a graph that connects your data in a meaningful, machine-readable way.
🔵 Bridging Structured and Unstructured Worlds:
But extracting insights isn’t enough. The real power lies in weaving those insights back into your core business systems. You don’t want to discard the well-structured data you’ve carefully curated in databases over the years. The opportunity is in linking the two together - integrating structured data points with insights mined from unstructured content. You can treat your tabular data as a graph as well, mapping the rows and columns into triples. This is what we knowledge graph folk have been doing for years.
🔵 The Power of URLs:
Imagine every client, product, or asset in your organisation having a unique URL identifier - like a web address, but for an entity in your data. Whether they appear in a database, an email, or a customer support chat, every reference points back to the same URL, giving you a single source of truth across all systems. Even better, if you want to link two entities together, you can simply use their URLs - subject URL > predicate > object URL - it’s as straightforward as adding a hyperlink to a webpage!
🔵 This Is a Strategic Shift in Thinking:
This isn’t just about tidying up your data infrastructure. It’s about making a strategic shift to unlock new capabilities. Patterns emerge. Redundancies disappear. Decision-making becomes faster, more precise, and better informed. you are ready for the Age of AI.
