<p class="noindent">Juan says: My knowledge graph journey has been possible thanks to many people. I am lucky to have been exposed to the semantic web early on by Oscar Corcho at a seminar he gave at the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia. I then met Prof. Dan Miranker as an undergrad at UT Austin who asked me a basic question: what’s the relationship between relational databases and semantic web? That question changed my life and became the focus of my undergraduate and doctoral research. Dan always pushed me to strive for excellence. The answer we found to that question became the basis of the startup we both founded: Capsenta. Thanks to all of our customers that led to the learnings presented in this book. I’m thankful for everyone at Capsenta and Wayne Heideman’s mentorship to learn how to take research and apply it to the real world which led to the acquisition of Capsenta by data.world. I’m fortunate to be supported by data.world and Bryon Jacob where we share a mission and vision on knowledge graphs. Finally, thanks to my family for always being there for me and especially my wife for being my writing partner.</p>

<p class="noindentt">Ora says: I am indebted to all the people who have influenced my thinking and helped me during my long knowledge graph ”journey:” my late thesis advisor, Professor Markku Syrjänen (who always used to say ”an expert is a person who does not have to think, because he knows”), my former colleagues at Nokia, W3C, and State Street; and especially my current Neptune graph database colleagues and customers. Finally, I’d like to thank my daughter Lauren Lassila, who many years ago, at age 7, insisted that I explain to her what my doctoral thesis was about. Knowledge graphs and semantic modeling can be understood by 7-year-olds!</p>

<p class="indentt1">We would also like to thank those people who read our early manuscript and offered helpful advice and corrections: Charles Ivie (AWS), Tim Gasper (data.world), and the editors Ying Ding and Paul Groth.</p>
|
||
<p class="indentt1">Finally, we wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the entire Semantic Web community: the various W3C Working Groups, numerous academic research groups, open-source software developers, and commercial product vendors who all have embraced this technology.</p>
