A Note from TopQuadrant’s CEO, Irene Polikoff
It has been long known that up to 80% of enterprise information is unstructured—it is information or ‘data’ in the form of presentation files, emails and documents.
TopBraid Tagger and AutoClassifier, a capability available as an additional module for TopBraid EDG, connects to content sources, crawls them and using state-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML) automatically assigns most relevant tags preparing data for further enrichment of content based on rules.
TopBraid Tagger and AutoClassifier takes advantage of controlled vocabularies and integrates human expertise into processing in order to rapidly refine training sets and initial tag suggestions. The resulting body of knowledge can be accessed through a built-in search engine or made available to external search engines.

Implementing Data Governance with Knowledge Graphs to Enable Enterprise AI
Are You Considering How AI May Help Your Information Management?
Then you will want to learn about the synergistic relationship between Data Governance, Knowledge Graphs, and enterprise applications of AI and Machine Learning (ML).
Knowledge Graphs address key challenges of Data Governance. It is becoming widely accepted that Knowledge Graphs are also excellent at guiding and focusing ML and at serving as a unifying fabric for different AI algorithms. How?
A knowledge graph is self-descriptive, or, simply put, it captures the data as well as its meaning or semantics. As a result, computers can reason — derive additional implicit information from the explicitly stated information.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and Cognitive Computing are umbrella terms for a wide set of algorithms, technologies, and approaches that make software seem ‘smart’. Such algorithms can discern patterns in data so that when new data comes in, they can apply patterns to make conclusions about new data.
This white paper explores how Knowledge Graphs provide a strategic foundation for both Data Governance and for enabling enterprise AI in a virtuous cycle.
Other key takeaways include:
- Learn about fundamental technology concepts in AI including different sub types of AI and how they can work together
- Understand how to separate hype from reality
- Discover what Knowledge Graphs are and see examples of how they provide a powerful platform for:
— Integrated Data Governance
— Enterprise use of AI/ML

NEW TOPBRAID VIDEOS
Our Quick Grok video series continues to be quite popular. The videos provide short, practical “how to” demos’ of EDG capabilities including specific features from each of the EDG packages. Recently added videos include:
Using the TopBraid EDG Corpora Asset Collection for Autoclassification
This video shows how users can use the Corpora asset collection to enable TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance (TopBraid EDG) to index text documents. Corpora supports connecting to different sources for reading the documents. The video highlights the Amazon S3 connector and the CMIS connector, a specific connector for Content Management Systems.
Using TopBraid Tagger and AutoClassifier to Enrich Unstructured Content
This video highlights how to use Content tag sets and the capabilities of the Tagger & AutoClassifier module within TopBraid Enterprise Data Governance (TopBraid EDG) to execute autoclassification. Autoclassification uses state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to suggest which tags from a controlled vocabulary are best suited to describe your text documents.
