Eric Little: Super Domains, the Original Context Graph – Episode 56

Eric Little

Knowledge graphs are complicated. They might entail multiple ontologies, several data sources, and any number of generated graphs and other context-establishing elements.

Eric Little came up with the idea of "super domains" to understand and manage these important but ephemeral pieces of an enterprise's semantic knowledge architecture. A super domain might establish context that holds for just a few seconds for an ATM transaction or for several years for a clinical trial.

We talked about:

his recent move from Accenture to Knowledge3 as Chief Data Officer

his diverse background in the consulting and enterprise worlds

super domains, the conceptual framework he has developed to deal with generated graphs, reification, and other knowledge graph elements

how super domains capture context

some examples of super domains

how super domains can help you deal with temporary, ephemeral, and stochastic data

how his philosophy background led to his early exploration of the concept of context graphs

the crucial distinction that needs to be made between epistemology and ontology in semantic practice
