In this talk I will provide a perspective on the history, current state and trends of Knowledge Graphs. This perspective will range from personal experience in academic research in the Semantic Web community to applications and uptake of knowledge graphs in industry. The talk will be presented as a knowledge graph itself – with real-life data and examples to be interactively explored and to see what is possible with knowledge graph technology today.

Peter has a long history in the Semantic Web community, his first contacts with semantic technologies dating back 20 years. In 2006, Peter obtained his PhD from the University of Karlsruhe (now KIT) under the supervision of Prof. Rudi Studer. He then worked as Head of Research and Development at fluid Operations, a startup in the area of semantic data management and enterprise cloud management. In 2014, Peter founded metaphacts, focusing on enterprise knowledge graphs. Share on
