Reinventing The Wheel
The secret to making your Data Mesh a success is connectivity!
There's nothing wrong with reinventing the wheel, as long as you stick to the concept of circularity. Likewise, there’s nothing wrong with reinventing data integration, as long as you stick to the concept of connectivity. Wheels depend on circularity to roll, and data integration needs connectivity to integrate.
The open secret is that Knowledge Graph technology has the concept of connectivity built into its core. Knowledge Graphs are the culmination of over 20 years of effort from some of the world’s truly great thinkers.
The connectivity starts at a mathematical level with a graph data structure that treats connections as first-class citizens. This is then built upon by adopting and internalising the HTTP protocol that has worked so well to connect information on the web.
So let's get Data Mesh and Data Contracts right, by building them upon the solid foundations provided by Knowledge Graph technology. Let’s reinvent the wheel in the right way, by founding it upon a proven technology that honours interconnectivity.
