Course Description

Ontologies are not specific to any technology, but many technologies are built upon ontology concepts. They are often confused with taxonomies but are very different in their use and purpose. Ontologies are used to harmonize data across repositories, employed in standards such as FIBO, and for applying more efficient deep learning techniques. This course examines the core concepts of ontologies, including: definitions, comparison/contrast with taxonomies, why use ontologies, getting started, and more.

The “What is…?” series of data fundamentals courses, along with associated packaged Learning Plans, are meant to help data and non-data professionals build a common language and understanding between them on significant data-related topics such as Data Management, Data Governance, Data Stewardship, Data Modeling, Data Architecture, and many others.

These courses provide a means to develop a level of cooperative understanding between business users, executives, teams, and technical professionals across your organization, so that everyone can be on the same page as you move forward with your data programs and initiatives.
