Masterclass: Just Enough Semantics with Jessica Talisman

The numbers aren't enough - your AI needs to understand what the data means.

Kick off your Helsinki Data Week experience with an intensive, three-hour masterclass led by Jessica Talisman, a world-renowned authority on ontologies and information architecture.

Why Attend?

While the main conference focuses on the broader horizons of data & AI, this pre-event masterclass is a "sleeves-rolled-up" session designed for professionals who need to bridge the gap between raw data and real intelligence.

You will learn how to

  • Architect Ontologies: Move beyond flat metadata to create rich, interconnected data models.

  • Fuel AI Agents: Structure your knowledge base so that LLMs and autonomous agents can navigate it without "hallucinating."

  • Human-Centric Semantics: Ensure your data remains discoverable and actionable for human analysts, not just the machines.

  • Knowledge Graph Strategy: Implement frameworks that scale from pilot projects to enterprise-level ecosystems.
