It’s Essential

Getting the choice right and early optimization are keys to success.
It’s all dependent on the knowledge and skills of DAM leaders.
This course is for DAM leaders, aspiring DAM leaders and would-be DAM leaders.

Over the past three years of the Semantic Data Conference, the community has shown itself to be comprised of strong, independent thinkers who are comfortable operating at the vanguard of this field.

We invite you to engage with keynote speaker Professor Viktor Mayer‑Schönberger directly in an open Q&A and dialogue. This is an opportunity to bring your toughest questions, challenge assumptions, and explore together how semantics, governance, and AI will shape the years ahead.

Context and challenge

As AI systems become the primary way people and applications access information, the semantic layer (ontologies, knowledge graphs, and contextual metadata) has moved from nice‑to‑have to critical infrastructure. Yet many organizations still struggle to decide when to invest in graphs, how to manage change, and how to align semantic work with data and AI teams.

Meeting the challenge

Current achievements and expanding opportunities

For many the transition from General Knowledge LLMs to RAG architectures has been revelationary with benefits including minimal hallucinations, greater accuracy and control over sources. The vast majority of RAG use cases do not use GraphRAG but there is huge interest that continues to grow in using Graphs alongside LLMs and embedding Semantic Guardrails into AI using Ontologies, Taxonomies and other approaches.
