2022 Talk: Leverage External Ontologies And Data To Bootstrap A Financial Knowledge Graph

One of the most popular applications of GraphDB is as a data hub for entities and securities. However, crafting an ontology from scratch and putting together all the relevant data is often a massive hurdle for pilot projects of this type. One accelerator that we propose as a start is to manage your key data elements by creating a semantic fabric integrating your data with external models and signals into a knowledge graph. This presentation will demonstrate how to use GraphDB in order to leverage existing ontology models (FIBO) and reference (GLEIF) and transaction data (NASDAQ) to bootstrap a knowledge graph for use-cases in: Investment banking and asset management Risk and Compliance Entity intelligence We will conclude with a recap of the capabilities of GraphDB, which make it the best engine to implement such an application.
