TechTalk 22: What the Graph? Knowledge and Property Graphs Compared

About the Event

In this Tech Talk, Dr Nicholas Car will provide a summary of NoSQL and explain the concepts of graphs, knowledge graphs and labelled property graphs. He will describe their design motivations and strengths and weaknesses. Example technologies that implement various forms of graph will be covered, including GraphDB, AllegroGraph, Neo4J, ArcGIS Pro Knowledge, and Apache Jena Fuseki. The talk will be concluded with some lessons learned from working in this space, and provide some essential advice for those looking to explore property graphs and knowledge graphs.
