The Enterprise Knowledge Graph

Best conceived of as a "company brain," this knowledge graph focuses on integrating an organization's assortment of people, skills, experiences, materials, essential company databases, and projects, which greatly improves its self-knowledge and thereby yields competitive advantage. Compiled from combing through myriad databases, including those for human resources, emails, and manifold other sources, this knowledge graph provides the foundation for a rapid, detailed assessment of what knowledge and skills a company has at its disposal--and their relation to one another. This graph is designed to create better services and is extremely specific to an organization's industry, line of business, and area of specialization. For example, Google's and Yahoo's search engine endeavors mandate that they collect knowledge about every entity or subject in the world, so they can offer the most relevant, revealing information to their users. LinkedIn's knowledge graph, on the other hand, details people's professions, resumes, and career opportunities.1 Again, the relationships between these nodes are paramount.
