This strengthens Stardog as a modern semantic layer powered by a knowledge graph

Stardog, the leading Enterprise Knowledge Graph platform provider, today announced the release of Stardog 9, the latest version of its award-winning software. With this release, Stardog strengthens its position as a modern knowledge graph powered semantic layer with new integrations for Azure Synapse, Collibra Data Governance and Databricks.

Stardog 9 includes a range of new features and enhancements that enable organizations to more easily connect their data, people, and processes, while also improving performance, scalability, and security. Some of the key benefits include:

• Expanded Data Access: Stardog 9 supports  federated access to Azure Synapse, which enhances connectivity to data in Azure Data Lake Storage Gen-2 (ADLS2), further reducing the friction in accessing and connecting data through meaning for self-serve analytics.Azure Synapse which increases the number of connections, removing more data access barriers.
• Activated Metadata: Stardog 9 extends Stardog’s Knowledge Catalog to quickly and easily harvest enterprise metadata with new integrations for Collibra and Microsoft Purview Data catalogs (in-preview mode only), and any JDBC-accessible data source. These integrations make it easy to semantically-enrich technical metadata with business concepts and enabling Data Governance teams and end users to easily search, query, and explore available data assets with an Enterprise Metadata Knowledge Graph.
• Smart, Automated Entity Linking Across Data Silos: Stardog 9 can easily identify and link data associated with business objects — for example, person, customer, supplier, location, product, etc. — across your data landscape for better decisions in support of use-cases from Customer 360 to Digital Twin to Fraud Detection, leveraging the power of Databricks Spark to process data at scale.
