As the year comes to a close, Graphwise is teaming up with the SEMANTiCS 2027 team to look back in order to look forward, and we invite you to join the conversation.
Juan Sequeda (ServiceNow) has spent 20 years helping organizations build ontologies and knowledge graphs, and he has collected 20 lessons along the way: what worked, what failed, and what only became clear years later. In this moderated, slide-free conversation with Gary Leicester, Juan will pick the lessons that matter most today, talk openly about the challenges semantic practitioners face right now, and explain which of them will shape the next wave of AI. Along the way, we’ll ask what will still hold true in 2027, what the field needs to unlearn, and where semantic work is heading as AI agents become everyday tools.
Bring your questions to the live conversation!
You will learn:
- Which lessons from 20 years of ontology and knowledge graph projects still apply, and which ones no longer hold
- Why many semantic projects stall, and what the successful ones did differently
- What teams should stop doing or “unlearn” as AI agents enter everyday work
- Where human expertise and shared meaning fit in when AI systems act on company data
- How to tell which semantic work will last as AI tools keep changing
Graphwise x SEMANTiCS 2027
This webinar is hosted in collaboration with SEMANTiCS 2027, the 23rd International Conference on Semantic Systems, takes place in Bologna, Italy, on 6-8 September 2027. The event brings researchers, practitioners, and business leaders together to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and build new collaborations across knowledge graphs, semantic technologies, and AI.
Save the date, Graphwise would be there and we look forward to meeting you in Bologna! 🇮🇹
