Big Tech Data Ontology
The Big Tech Data Ontology represents a sophisticated semantic information architecture project designed to organize and interconnect approximately 300 content pieces covering the technology industry's most significant companies, innovations, and societal impacts. This comprehensive ontology development initiative demonstrates the practical application of knowledge graph principles, structured data implementation, and semantic web technologies to create machine-readable, queryable content relationships that enhance both human discoverability and AI-powered information retrieval.
