Re: Post your ideas for graph-powered content applicaitons here

John,

I never replied to your post - YES!!! An emphatic YES! To do this we have to align (at least) our internal enterprise terminology, shared taxonomies, and domain ontologies. As we do that and create various (specific domain) graphs across functional areas (business ops, finance, planning ...
