Each part of the supply chain fulfill
demands, making intelligent decisions
on: What, How, When, Where and Why

21. What is a Knowledge Graph?
1.Data: Nodes, Relationships, Properties, and Types
○Name is a string, DOB is a date, address is structure of strings and numbers, picture is a bitmap
○Person is named John, John was born in 1993, John lives in Atlanta, John looks like this ??????

2.Queries: “views” defined with queries, equations, and invariants
○Age = today - DOB – we can use queries to produce “data” or facts
○Person has only 1 DOB — it’s a rule/constraint/invariant
○Person has only 1 age – knowledge can be used to infer “know knowledge”

3.Intelligence: “views” using reasoning
○What is your age? Probably the average of your friends? (graph analytics)
○What is the fastest way to ship something below cost threshold? (solver based reasoning)
○What products will this person buy next week? (neural or probabilistic reasoning)
○Graph Analytics, Rules Based Reasoning, Prescriptive Analytics, Predictive Analytics
