Is there time to add a brief PPT presentation to the agenda? 
I have one on some phrases for ontology.

Using Stardog and Knowledge Graphs for ESG Business Impact Analysis

Pressing environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges require
data-intensive insights. The ESG market is large and rapidly growing, with
sustainable investments growing to more than a third of all global assets,
and sweeping environmental regulation being passed world-wide. This
confluence of events presents opportunities, and a demand for reliable,
insightful data about companies’ performances, and their impact on regional
environmental and climate conditions. Amplifying the problem, ESG metrics
are usually just a collection of raw, numbers that require study and
interpretation with each use.

Data innovations for ESG need to be based on robust, transparent
foundations. Knowledge graph technology can be used to provide a rich,
contextual view -- connecting data from disparate sources and providing
backing semantics for the data's concepts and relationships. Using
knowledge graphs, users can gain richer, contextual insights into the
problem space and create reusable knowledge.

In order to raise awareness of the use of knowledge graph technology for
ESG business planning, the Impact Demo Knowledge Graph was constructed and
used in the Hanken Quantum Hackathon 2021 (
https://www.hanken.fi/en/calendar/hanken-quantum-hackathon-2021). A backing
ontology was defined to fuse information about 1900+ companies -- including
their industries, profits, environmental impacts, and country of
headquarters -- and relate that with data about their "headquarters"
country. The company data provided calculated dollar amounts (in US
Dollars) for various types of environmental impacts. This data was
extracted (using Python code) from a spreadsheet based on the Harvard
study, Corporate Environmental Impact: Measurement, Data and Information (
https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/corporate-environmental-impact-measurement-data-and-information).
The country data, on the other hand, provided statistics on a country's
electricity production, environmental issues, demographics and many other
details. It was assembled by web scraping the pages of the CIA World
Factbook (https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/).

All the data for the Quantum Hackathon was stored in a Stardog graph
database, hosted in the cloud. Each of the 14 Hackathon teams had an
account. There were 12 stored SPARQL queries for modification and use by
the teams, to ease the learning curve. An overview of the infrastructure
(the ontology and data), as well as details on using Stardog Studio and
Explorer, were provided via written documentation on GitHub (available at
https://github.com/ontoinsights/deep_narrative_analysis/tree/master/ontol-docs/hackathon-docs)
and a video overview (https://lnkd.in/dj_NUp_w).

In order to see Stardog's value in action ... take a look at the video. The
Stardog portion of the overview starts at about 19:50 minutes.
