Knowledge Graph Training

Anzo Knowledge Graph Management Platform Training

Cambridge Semantics is pleased to make Anzo Knowledge Graph Management Platform (AKG) Training available to all audiences. This training will quickly cover the core concepts of Anzo and then move into the new innovative features of AKG 5.0. Participants will learn how to ingest data from various sources, auto-generate ontologies, navigate the catalog of Anzo objects, and visualize insights using our HiRes Analytics interface.

Delivery Options: Training is available in a variety of formats to address the needs of any audience including:

• Instructor Led Virtual
• Instructor Led In-person
• Custom Curriculum
• Self-paced Training

Each student is provisioned with an Anzo instance in the cloud to perform hands-on exercises and explore the product in more depth. Please contact us for more details and pricing. 

Course Overview: The course begins by arming students with foundational semantic technology concepts and why Anzo leverages them. The introductory module places particular emphasis on comparing and contrasting semantic technologies with relational databases and traditional data lake technologies through illustrative examples. With these concepts in place, participants perform standard data management activities leveraging each of the Anzo platform components, including:

• Data Modeling (creating and editing ontologies using Anzo Ontology Editor)
• Data Ingestion, Mapping, and Transformation (ingesting data from relational databases and spreadsheets using GDI – Graph Data Interface)
• Data Curation and Third Party Analytic Tool Integration (text analytics and data linking using Anzo Unstructured and the Open Data Protocol (Odata) standard to port data to analytics tools such as Spotfire, Tableau, and MS Excel)
• Knowledge Discovery through exploration, visualization, and exploratory analytics of diverse harmonized data (performing analytics and creating rich visuals using Anzo on the Web)

Modules and lab exercises leverage a common, complex but intuitive dataset that illustrates the power of the graph model and how data is harmonized. 

Course Package: The course package comprises a cloud instance for lab exercises and a Lab Guide. Extended time within the cloud-provisioned lab environment is available. The Lab Guide offers step-by-step instructions to participants to perform hands-on lab exercises and reinforces key concepts on topics covered in the training modules.

Prerequisites: This class is designed for beginner to intermediate audiences. Resources are available on our website for participants who wish to explore Anzo in advance. Participants are expected to have at least basic familiarity with data management workflow and analysis. Prior exposure to data analysis tools is helpful.
