Semantic Technology: FIBO Tutorial on Applying Knowledge Graphs in the Financial Industry
Event: October 10-11, Chicago (in conjunction with the Data Architecture Summit)
Content: 12 hours
- Ontology Rationale - using ontologies and standards to address data incongruence
- Knowledge Graph Primer - understanding the core technical concepts needed for model-driven architecture (RDF, RDFS, SKOS, OWL) and query using SPARQL
- FIBO - leveraging the structure and content of the Financial Industry Business Ontology
- Collaboration using the FIBO Ecosystem - GitHub, JIRA, Jenkins, and the FIBO Wiki system
Ontology Rationale (90 minutes)
- Data as Meaning - Data is a representation of “real things” that can be described via precise identification, verifiable facts, and contextual relationships.
- Agreements and Obligations - Complexity requires shared meaning.
- Causes and Implications - the underlying reasons why data loses alignment
- Demystifying Ontology - moving from “location-based” to “meaning-based” processing
- Enterprise Knowledge Graph - the value of a common reusable Open World model using semantic technology
Knowledge Graph Primer (3 hours)
- Enterprise Knowledge Graphs - organizing and linking content across federated environments
- Ontology Languages - understanding RDF, RDFS, SKOS, OWL, and SPARQL
- Inferencing - the basics of description logic, classes, properties, and restrictions
- Implementation - constructing the graph and linked open data
Financial Industry Business Ontology (6 hours)
- FIBO Product Suite - review of FIBO Glossary, Data Dictionary, FIBO Vocabulary, Linked Data Fragments, Visual Ontology, UML models, OWL files, and Schema.org
- FIBO Maturity Levels - the distinctions between FIBO production and development
- Semantic Architecture - triple store processing, namespaces, and ontologies
- FIBO Concepts - understanding the classes, properties, and logical assertions within FIBO
- Conversion and Mapping - transforming CSV, XML, and relational databases into RDF to establish the conceptual mapping baseline
- Accessing FIBO - tools for reading, editing, extending, and embedding FIBO into applications
- Working with FIBO - URIs, namespaces, instances, property chains, and simple SPARQL queries
- Inferencing Basics - tools and techniques for implementing the inference rules within FIBO
The FIBO Ecosystem (90 minutes)
- Build, Test, Deploy, Maintain – understanding the FIBO development process
- FIBO Ecosystem – using GitHub and JIRA as the mechanisms for FIBO collaboration
