Jamie McCusker leads us in a comprehensive introduction to Whyis, the nano-scale knowledge graph publishing, management, and analysis framework!

DESCRIPTION: We show how to install, run, load, curate, and visualize knowledge in your very own Whyis KGApp (Knowledge Graph Application). Whyis is a nano-scale knowledge graph publishing, management, and analysis framework. Whyis aims to support domain-aware management and curation of knowledge from many different sources. Its primary goal is to enable creation of useful domain- and data-driven knowledge graphs. Knowledge can be contributed and managed through direct user interaction, statistical analysis, or data ingestion from many different kinds of data sources. Every contribution to the knowledge graph is managed as a separate entity so that its provenance (publication status, attribution, and justification) is transparent and can be managed and used.

BIO: Jamie McCusker is the Director, Data Operations for the Tetherless World Constellarion. Her research focus is in knowledge graph engineering, ontologies, provenance, and systems biology.

TWed Talks are informal overview discussions and tutorials on topics of interest to the Tetherless World and related communities. TWed Talks give members and friends of these labs the chance to share tools and expertise. TWed Talks are not intended to be lectures; they are expected to be highly interactive and fun! TWed leaders are strongly encouraged to include live "hack" activities in their session plans.

All Fall 2024 talks are IN PERSON (4p, Winslow 1140) unless otherwise noted. A recording of this TWed Talk is available.

Snacks will be provided.
