ArcGIS Knowledge Presentation, ESRI
From Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP)
This month we continued our survey of federal agencies implementations of Knowledge Graph technology for dataset discovery, with a presentation from ESRI on ArcGIS Knowledge, ESRI's latest knowledge graphing product offering.
AGENDA Discovery Cluster Telecon for April 20, 2023, 3PM EDT:
- Introductions (5 min)
- ArcGIS Knowledge: integrating graph and spatial analytics to support data discovery, collaborative investigations, link analysis, and information sharing across organizations - 30 min (Victoria Anderson and Adam Martin, ESRI)
- Cluster business - 15 min (summer meeting session ideas, May meeting topic, and other discussion or announcements)
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.
