A knowledge graph is an approach to representing knowledge within some sort of knowledge organization system for some sort of knowledge framework. In his article, Embracing Complexity - Conclusion , Tony Seale explains how to built your organization's knowledge graph. In summary, Seale believes that an organizational knowledge graph should include: Networked data Networked cloud Networked artificial intelligence Unified network that pulls all three of the above together Then, there are three practical tools that make a knowledge graph go: The graph adapter The data service The graph neural network Using this approach, a knowledge graph can then give an organization the ability to connect all it's critical data in the entire organization together.  This gives both humans and artificial intelligence access to all that data. Seale is not specifying any specific technical implementation . He seems to be suggesting using a semantic network and network theory  which is part of gr...

A digital information organism is a new type of tool available to professional accountants which overcomes limitations encountered when trying to use electronic spreadsheets to automate certain mission critical processes. The Structural Advantage : By separating the information and the “ costume ” that information wears (i.e. the document); representing the information as a graph which a computer based process can reliably interpret (i.e. treating these graphs as semantics-oriented structures known as models); organizations eliminate the traditional "human bucket brigade"; the fragile (and costly) practice of humans manually moving text from one document to another document. Instead, the model is the "code" which enables reliable automation. If the gap between human interpretation and machine interpretation is eliminated; if we think beyond the document ; if we give the dumb beasts a chance to succeed; if we leverage this structural advantage; mundane repetitive ...

XBRL is a global open industry standard for the exchange of business information.  XBRL itself is not a system.  However, things like the XBRL International's  Open Information Model  (OIM), Object Management Group's Standard Business Report Model (SBRM), and the framework, structure, and  process provided by my Seattle Method can take XBRL to the next level. The OIM, SBRM, and Seattle Method are very aligned in how they make use of XBRL. In this new age of artificial intelligence, XBRL will play a significant role. Beyond the Traditional Electronic Spreadsheet: How XBRL Can Help Industrialize Financial Information Processing In simple terms, XBRL introduces a global, open industry standard alternative to certain specific traditional electronic spreadsheet use cases. Think of it as a set of digital "information Legos." While traditional spreadsheets are incredibly flexible, that very flexibility makes them a liability for mission-critical tasks, especially w...
