Juan & Tim rant w/ Jesus Barrasa about Ontologies, Knowledge Graphs, Context Graphs and AI

Author: ServiceNow Community Podcasts April 6, 2026 Duration: 30:13

Juan and Tim have a rant session with a special guest in person, Jesús Barrasa, well known in the knowledge graph space. We covered AI trends, the balance between operational vs. strategic work, knowledge graphs, context graphs. The most valuable part of our rant was our pragmatic discussion about ontologies stripping them down to what they actually are and why they matter.

Starting to work with ontologies? Think about these two dimensions: WHAT (Formal, Explicit and Shared Meaning) and WHY (Interoperability, Automation).
