From Knowledge Models to Semantic Memory: Building the Enterprise Context Layer for Trusted AI

How do you operationalize semantic models?

This session focuses on moving beyond conceptual taxonomies and ontologies to create an operational enterprise context layer that AI can actively use across systems, teams and business processes. Participants will explore how semantic models become reusable knowledge services, providing consistent context that improves decision-making, automation and AI accuracy across the organization.

The workshop also examines the governance foundations required to scale AI, including metadata, lineage, provenance and information stewardship. Attendees will learn how to deliver trusted, reusable context across R&D, Clinical, Regulatory, Manufacturing, Quality and Commercial functions, creating a durable knowledge foundation that can support the next generation of AI agents and enterprise applications.
