Webinar – Use of Ontologies and Knowledge Graphs for Crop Data by Bayer CropScience

Webinar organized by the Ontologies Community of Practice of the CGIAR Platform for Big Data in Agriculture.

Welcome to the first installment of our webinar series “How agricultural industry uses ontologies.” In this new series we will explore the use of ontology and other semantic tools by the Ontologies Community of Practice members of the agricultural industry.

During this first installment, Eric Antezana and Jens Hollunder will present how Bayer CropScience uses ontologies and knowledge graphs to get more insights about their experimental data and answer specific business questions.

If you are new to the concept of knowledge graph and wish to get familiar with it, you can watch our previous webinar on the topic.
