DESCRIPTION:Knowledge Graphs in the Field: The Growing Role of Semantic Tec
 hnologies in the Agri-Food Sector\n\nAaron Bradley\n\nKnowledge Graph Stra
 tegist at Electronic Arts (EA)\n\nRegister & watch webinar\n\nAaron Bradle
 y is a Knowledge Graph Strategist at Electronic Arts (EA) in Vancouver\, B
 C. His background in libraries\, web design and search engine optimization
  has allowed him to take a pragmatic approach to linked data technologies 
 in his ongoing efforts to understand the potential of knowledge graphs and
  their application in solving real-life data challenges. While his work at
  EA is currently focused on constructing connected content ecosystems his 
 interest in knowledge graphs is wide-ranging\, and he is part of a communi
 ty of practice that includes professionals from many different domains of 
 knowledge and industry sectors.\n\nAbstract\n\nThe journey of food from a 
 farmer’s field to a diner’s table implicates many different domains of kno
 wledge: agriculture\, climate science\, nutrition\, food production\, supp
 ly chain management and more. The vast amount of information available in 
 each of these domains often exists in silos that makes it difficult to der
 ive insights by combining disparate but related data points. In recent yea
 rs\, however\, the development of knowledge graphs has provided a mechanis
 m by which we can better make sense of and meaningfully connect seemingly 
 siloed data. In this talk\, Aaron will provide a brief introduction to kno
 wledge graphs and their facilitating technologies\, followed by a survey o
 f different linked data initiatives in the agri-food domain. From digital 
 twins in farming\, to food supply chain management\, to agricultural chat 
 bots\, the connective power of semantic technologies is opening up excitin
 g new avenues for process improvement\, increased production and innovatio
 n in the agri-food sector.\n\nChair: Professor Laurette Dubé (Scientific D
 irector of MCCHE)\n	Co-Chair & Moderator: John G. Keogh (Professor of Pract
 ice\, MCCHE\; Founder\, Shantalla Inc.))\n	Special Panel: A panel will foll
 ow with scientists and action leaders to advance convergence science and i
 nnovation at the food\, health\, medicine and healthcare interfaces for ad
 dressing challenge and possibilities afforded by open-sciences in accelera
 ting world-scale transformation toward sustainable prosperity. Discussion 
 will also explore how digital transformation of science\, business and soc
 iety can accelerate the bridging of seemingly incompatible commons and val
 ue-capture logics\, capabilities\, processes and impacts.\n\n\nABOUT THE S
 ERIES\n\nThe Convergent Innovation Webinar Series features cutting edge sc
 ience\, technology and innovation in agriculture\, food\, environment\, ed
 ucation\, medicine and other domains of everyday life where grand challeng
 es lie at the convergence of health and economics. Powered by data science
 \, artificial intelligence\, and other digital technologies\, this discipl
 inary knowledge bridges with behavioural\, social\, humanities\, business\
 , economics\, social\, engineering\, and complexity sciences to accelerate
  real-world solution at scale\, be it in digital or physical contexts. Ini
 tiated in the agri-food domain\, the series is now encompassing other gran
 d challenges facing modern and traditional economies and societies\, such 
 as ensuring lifelong wellness and resilience at both the individual and po
 pulation levels.\n
