Notes:

ESRI Presentation

ArcGIS Knowledge is an extension to ArcGIS Enterprise
Leverage graph algorithms, graph queries, as well as some graph visualization options.
Products of ArcGIS spatial analysis can be stored in the knowledge graph.
ESRI Knowledge addresses use cases that require spatial analytics.
Visualization brings the non-spatial relationships data into a map to better visualize the graph.
USGS Pubs Warehouse use case:
- Connectivity was measured using find between. Influence was measured using centrality.
- Joint geographic and graph based searches look for publications about drought from the Colorado River Basin.
- Citation analysis to assign influence to publications.
Other use cases ESRI is exploring:
- Exploring ways to apply natural language processing to extract keywords and return this contextual information to the graph.
- Pull technical metadata from the ArcGIS Enterprise information model for IT management/ Network management use cases. Relationships between data stores, services, maps, apps, users, and groups.
Supports Neo4J Enterprise, which can be managed totally separately, or as a pattern to load data to Neo4J.
