About this talk
How do you get into Connected Data?
Knowledge Graphs, Graph Databases / Analytics / Data Science / AI and all that, yes.
That’s a lot to swallow, but with enough time, educational resources and practice, you’ll be fine.
But what about finding your place and a sense of belonging?
Let’s not forget - a knowledge engineer or an ontologist is a fairly new box to be in.
In technology companies UX is traditionally sitting between technology and the customer.
Knowledge Graphs are also about being between the customer or in a broader sense the human and the technology, but on the data level.
As such it is a new paradigm in software development and technology:
"Not quite the engineer, not quite the data scientist".
Let’s come together and share ideas on creating a sense of community:
- Where do you go for support?
- How to deal with inappropriate questions or comments?
- How to get over or deal with impostor syndrome?
- How to help educate your peers and support one another?
These are some of the topics your hosts want to help address in this session:
- Get to know your fellow Connected Data colleagues
- Round the room questions asked by hosts
- Ask your hosts anything!
Live at the Central Lounge in Connected Data World Center
