Read about another busy and exciting year at Ontotext in our traditional countdown of the most popular blog posts we have published in 2019.
At the end of an unconventional year, we at Ontotext still want to honor our tradition and provide our readers with a round-up of the most popular posts on our blog.
In 2020, we continued to develop our leading database engine for management of knowledge graphs, GraphDB, and expanded it with a lot of new functionalities. Check out our 5 releases for this year – 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5.
We also continued to improve our knowledge graph platform. In its third generation, Ontotext Platform enables organizations to build, use and evolve knowledge graphs as a hub for data, metadata and content. Check out Ontotext Platform 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3.
All our products and solutions are based on the value of enterprise knowledge graphs and their capacity to manage knowledge, and not data, when they become the infrastructure within organizations. Not surprisingly, blog posts discussing the advantages of using knowledge graphs, GraphDB and Ontotext Platform made up the top five most popular blog posts in 2020, as our analytics showed.
Here’s the countdown of our most popular blog posts this year:
