Enterprise Knowledge Graph

Keep GenAI grounded in context for secure, high-quality decisions.

Put an EKG in front of your enterprise: a virtual semantic and operational layer, composed on demand at query/execution time, that governs access to trusted facts and data products across all internal and relevant external systems.

What community leaders and practitioners say about EKGF

The development of a collaborative environment is one of the principle operational goals of the EKG Foundation.

CO-FOUNDER, EKG FOUNDATION
FORMER CTO U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
FIBO PROCESS OWNER

Data fragmentation has become a significant liability for firms who wind up spending countless hours and significant money moving data from one plane to another and reconciling data meaning. The more cost-effective approach is to adopt semantic standards that are designed to resolve and map data in a uniform way across all data pipelines.

FORMER FELLOW ARCHITECT AT BNY MELLON

The Foundation is defining a set of standard criteria for evaluating capability readiness in EKG environments. We are working on the construction of a master portal of published ontologies, use cases, and other resources needed for sustainable knowledge graph operations.

What is an Enterprise Knowledge Graph (EKG)?

An EKG is a semantics-first foundation for an enterprise: it defines context (concepts, relationships, rules) and connects that meaning to high-quality, reusable facts and data products—so systems can interpret data consistently. In practice, it acts as a governed semantic layer in front of your internal and relevant external systems.

The Enterprise Knowledge Graph Forum (EKGF) is an initiative under the Object Management Group (OMG), publishing principles, methods, and work products that help teams build trustworthy EKGs—and pair them with GenAI safely.
