This is it. This is the conversation every leadership team needs to be having right now. "The Orchestration Graph" by WRITER product leader Matan-Paul Shetrit linked in comments is a must-read. The primary constraint on business is no longer execution. It's supervision. For a century, we built companies to overcome the high cost of getting things done. We built hierarchies, departments, and complex processes — all to manage labor-intensive execution. That era is over. With AI agents, execution is becoming abundant, on-demand, and programmatic. The new bottleneck is our ability to direct, govern, and orchestrate this immense new capacity. The firm is evolving from a factory into an "operating system." Your ORG CHART is no longer the map. The real map is the Orchestration Graph: the dynamic, software-defined network of humans, models, and agents that actually does the work. This isn't just a new tool or a productivity hack. It's a fundamental rewiring of the enterprise. It demands we rethink everything: Structure: How do we manage systems, not just people? Strategy: What work do we insource to our agentic "OS" versus outsource to models-as-a-service? Metrics: Are we still measuring human activity, or are we measuring system throughput and intelligence? This is the WRITER call to arms: The companies that win won't just adopt AI; they will restructure themselves around it. They will build their own Orchestration Graph, with governance and institutional memory at the core. They will treat AI not as a feature, but as the new foundation. At WRITER, this is the future we are building every single day — giving companies the platform to create their own secure, governed, and intelligent orchestration layer. The time to act is now. Read the article. Start the conversation with your leaders. And begin rewiring your firm. | 37 comments on LinkedIn

🚀 When I shared our 2025 goals for the Enterprise Data Organization, one of the things I alluded to was machine-readable column-level metadata. Let’s unpack what that means—and why it matters. 🔍 What: For datasets we deliver via modern cloud distribution, we now provide human - and machine - readable metadata at the column level. Each column has an immutable URL (no auth, no CAPTCHA) that hosts name/value metadata - synonyms, units of measure, descriptions, and more - in multiple human languages. It’s semantic context that goes far beyond what a traditional data dictionary can convey. We can't embed it, so we link to it. 💡 Why: Metadata is foundational to agentic, precise consumption of structured data. Our customers are investing in semantic layers, data catalogs, and knowledge graphs - and they shouldn’t have to copy-paste from a PDF to get there. Use curl, Python, Bash - whatever works - to automate ingestion. (We support content negotiation and conditional GETs.) 🧠 Under the hood? It’s RDF. Love it or hate it, you don’t need to engage with the plumbing unless you want to. ✨ To our knowledge, this hasn’t been done before. This is our MVP. We’re putting it out there to learn what works - and what doesn’t. It’s vendor-neutral, web-based, and designed to scale across: 📊 Breadth of datasets across S&P 🧬 Depth of metadata 🔗 Choice of linking venue 🙏 It took a village to make this happen. I can’t name everyone without writing a book, but I want to thank our executive leadership for the trust and support to go build this. Let us know what you think! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gbe3NApH Martina Cheung, Saugata Saha, Swamy Kocherlakota, Dave Ernsberger, Mark Eramo, Frank Tarsillo, Warren Breakstone, Hamish B., Erica Robeen, Laura Miller, Justine S Iverson, | 17 comments on LinkedIn

Confession: until last week, I thought graphs were new. I shared what I thought was a fresh idea: that enterprise structured data should be modeled as a graph to make it digestible for today’s AI with its short context windows and text-based architecture. My post attracted graph leaders with roots in the Semantic Web. I learned that ontology was the big idea when the Semantic Web launched in 2001, and fell out of fashion by 2008. Then Google brought it back in 2012 —rebranded as the “knowledge graph” - and graphs became a mainstay in SEO. We’re living through the third wave of graphs, now driven by the need to feed data to AI agents. Graphs are indeed not new. But there’s no way I - or most enterprise data leaders of my generation - would have known that. I started my data career in 2013 - peak love for data lakes and disregard for schemas. I haven't met a single ontologist until 3 months ago (hi Madonnalisa C.!). And I deal with tables in the enterprise domain, not documents in public domain. These are two different worlds. Or are they?.. This 1999 quote from Tim Berners-Lee, the father of the Semantic Web hit me: “I have a dream for the Web [in which computers] become capable of analyzing all the data... When it [emerges], the day-to-day mechanisms of trade, bureaucracy, and our daily lives will be handled by machines talking to machines... The ‘intelligent agents’... will finally materialize.” We don't talk about this enough - but we are all one: ➡️ Semantic Web folks ➡️ Enterprise data teams ➡️ SEO and content teams ➡️ data providers like Scale AI and Surge AI In the grand scheme of things, we are all just feeding data into computers hoping to realize Tim’s dream. That’s when my initial shame turned into wonder. What if we all reimagined our jobs by learning from each other? What if enterprise data teams: ▶️ Prioritized algorithmic discoverability of their data assets, like SEOs do? ▶️ Pursued missing data that improves AI outcomes, like Scale AI does? ▶️ Took ownership of all data—not just the tables? Would we be the generation that finally realizes the dream? What a time to be alive. | 10 comments on LinkedIn

Gartner 2025 AI Hype Cycle: The focus is shifting from hype to foundational innovations Knowledge Graphs are a key part of the shift, positioned on the slope of enlightenment By Haritha Khandabattu and Birgi Tamersoy: Al investment remains strong, but focus is shifting from GenAl hype to foundational innovations like Al-ready data, Al agents, Al engineering and ModelOps. This research helps leaders prioritize high-impact, emerging Al techniques while navigating regulatory complexity and operational scaling. As Gartner notes, Generative AI capabilities are advancing at a rapid pace and the tools that will become available over the next 2-5 years will be transformative. The rapid evolution of these technologies and techniques continues unabated, as does the corresponding hype, making this tumultuous landscape difficult to navigate. These conditions mean GenAI continues to be a top priority for the C-suite. Weaving in another foundational concept, Systems of Intelligence as coined by Geoffrey Moore and reference by David Vellante and George Gilbert: Systems of Intelligence are the linchpin of modern enterprise architecture because [AI] agents are only as smart as the state of the business represented in the knowledge graph. If a platform controls that graph, it becomes the default policymaker for “why is this happening, what comes next, and what should we do?” For enterprises, there is only one feasible answer to the "who controls the graph" question: you should. To do that, start working on your enterprise knowledge graph today, if you haven't already.
