Zeiss' Service Copilot #agenticAI system includes #LLMs, but Max Gärber says that it's the system's solid #knowledgeGraph and metadata foundations that make it perform so well. An instructive and actionable conversation. Hope you enjoy it, too.

Tech is only as valuable as the problem it solves. 🤯 I joined @larry.bsky.social to share why we use a Neuro-Symbolic approach to solve narrow business problems with precision. Stop guessing; start knowing. 🎧 Listen: youtu.be/qVJW6AXwj88?... #EidenAI #NeuroSymbolicAI #KnowledgeGraphs
The complementary nature of #knowledgeGraphs and #LLMs is now clear and long-time knowledge engineering professionals like @unlockdatawithq.bsky.social are combining them in hybrid #neurosymbolicAI systems. Lots of pragmatic advice in this conversation.

25 years ago, @jahendler.bsky.social, web inventor @timbl.bsky.social, and early #AIagent expert Ora Lassila set out their #semanticWeb vision in Scientific American. Listen in on this fascinating behind-the-scenes account of the origins of their work.

Brad Bolliger came to #knowledgeGraphs via enterprise system design and data analytics. That background informs their pragmatic approach to the use of semantic technology that facilitates information exchange across government agencies.

At Bloomberg, Tara Raafat applies the best #semantic practices and embraces the latest #AI technology to build #knowledgeGraphs, but engaging the right stakeholders and building the right kinds of teams is arguably the key to her success.

I'm hosting a conversation about hybrid AI next week. Truly smart systems need it all - good data, neural learning, and symbolic knowledge - and these folks know how to deliver it.

At Netflix, @alex.bertails.org and his team have adopted #RDF to build a Unified Data Architecture (UDA) and a #domainModeling language, Upper, that let them quickly and efficiently share complex #data with their internal engineering customers.

Super-fun to chat with @torreybird.bsky.social about her childhood family dinner-table conversations about semantics, her work aligning stakeholders on language and meaning in big digital projects, and how to close "semantic gaps" in complex organizations.

A blue Field Notes memo book on a laptop keyboard, opened to the inside cover. “Andy Welfle” is written in yellow ink on the name line, with the start date filled in as 9/14/2025 and the location as San Francisco. A yellow GetHPen Highlight Pen rests diagonally across the notebook. To the right, another open notebook page dated September 14, 2025 shows handwritten notes in blue ink.
Close-up of the inside cover of a blue Field Notes memo book with “Andy Welfle” written in yellow ink on the property line. The clear cap of a yellow GetHPen Highlight Pen rests across the bottom edge of the notebook. A laptop keyboard is visible in the background.
What's the German word for that specific feeling of satisfaction you get when you find an inexpensive paint pen that writes REALLY clearly and nicely on a strange (but cool) coverstock that your fresh Field Notes uses, when regular ink or graphite doesn't show up very well at all?
So good to see @velitchkov.eu at Semantics 2025. Great presentation on applying data centricity and rules to gnarly procurement problems.
Casey Hart connects professional #ontology practice and the academic discipline of #philosophy and shows how concepts like epistemology, metaphysics, and rhetoric are relevant to both knowledge graphs and AI technology in general.

This is terrible news, not just for fly research, Drosophila is a key model organism that helps us understand shared biological pathways and the systems that underpin many human diseases 💔💔💔
#AI adoption is growing in #LifeSciences, and a human-in-the-loop ( #HITL ) approach is an essential collaborator. HITL ensures accurate outcomes, eliminates bias, and allows humans to provide critical oversight. Read more:

Leveraging MCP and LLM-powered natural-language interfaces, Emeka Okoye has created RDF Explorer, a Model Context Protocol #MCP service that lets any developer surf the semantic web without having to learn #RDF.

Tom Plasterer was instrumental in the creation of the now-widely-adopted #FAIRdata principle, the idea - driven by the introduction of the #semanticWeb - that data should be findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.

stop letting venture capitalists set the agenda.
Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it.
Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments
Freelancers/contractors: get in comments
Everyone else: boosts appreciated
Fact: It is my birthday.
Fact: I run a free+ad-free newsletter about keeping tech/UX design accountable, called Product Picnic.
Conclusion: legally, you have to subscribe to it. The word of the birthday boy is law!
One of the lessons of working with lots of different clients in lots of different businesses is that “building useful abstractions” is a very valuable skill, but one that absolutely cannot replace real operational knowledge of the things being abstracted
Drawing on her background in the #humanities and her pragmatic approach to business, Mara Inglezakis Owens has developed #knowledgeArchitecture practices that delight system users and demonstrate value to key stakeholders. And she's fun to talk with :)

Had a wonderful conversation with Larry, talking about Abstract Wikipedia, Wikidata, knowledge, and language barriers. Larry, thank you for having me over!
Thank YOU, Denny! Awesome conversation.
As the founder of Wikidata, @vrandecic.bsky.social has thought a lot about how to better connect the world's knowledge. His current project, Abstract Wikipedia, aims to let anyone on the planet contribute to the world's collective knowledge.
