2022 Talk: Populating Google’s Knowledge Graph From The Outside
Google is a child. It is thirsty for knowledge. It wants to understand the world. It has the data but lacks the reference points, structure and consistency that a child needs to understand and be confident in that understanding. Adding and correcting information in Google’s Knowledge Graph from the outside simply requires that we create stable, authoritative reference points, we structure our information and communicate consistently. Simple, when you know how. In this session, Jason Barnard will explain both his “Google is a child” philosophy and his pragmatic approach to educating the child that is Google.
