Our mission at metaphacts has always been to ease the onboarding into the world of enterprise knowledge graphs. With our product metaphactory we provide an end-to-end platform to support that mission and enable our clients in unlocking the value of their data assets. Since we first published metaphactory in 2015, with every new release we have introduced new features and capabilities to enable rich end-user experiences in interacting with knowledge graphs.
Through our blog, we want to continuously share some of the recent developments, examples, best practices and make the power of knowledge graph technologies more accessible for you.
Just today we released metaphactory 3.6, so this is a great opportunity to start this blog with showing you some cool new additions to our product. With our most recent release, we have introduced a series of new components and enhancements that help provide a more intuitive user experience and user interaction. These new components cater to user needs across all platform target user groups: end users, developers focused on building end-user oriented applications, as well as knowledge graph experts.
