What to expect

Knowledge graphs are becoming essential tools for organizations seeking digital sovereignty — the ability to control their own data infrastructure and decision-making processes. This ChUG (Chicago User Group) meetup explores how open-source tools can empower governments and institutions to analyze vast amounts of unstructured data and transform it into actionable insights.

The Challenge: Making Sense of EU Digital Sovereignty Data

The European Union's recent call for comments on open source's role in digital sovereignty generated over 500 PDF documents and 2,000+ comments. This meetup tackles a critical question: how can such massive datasets be analyzed effectively to support regulatory decisions? The answer lies in Semiont, an open-source Human+AI knowledge platform that can build wikis, knowledge bases, semantic layers, context graphs, and agentic memory systems.

What You'll Learn

The evening features two detailed 30-minute presentations from AI Alliance experts:

Building Knowledge Graphs with Semiont — Adam Pingel from the AI Alliance demonstrates how this new open-source framework lets users construct knowledge graphs using familiar tools like Claude Desktop or OpenClaw. You'll see how Semiont transforms the EU's digital sovereignty dataset into a structured knowledge graph through its innovative event log approach.

Decision Support Through Knowledge Graphs — Joe Olson, also from the AI Alliance, shows how knowledge graphs can be presented as user-friendly wikis. Non-technical users can explore entity relationships through hyperlinks, text, and images — enabling sophisticated e-discovery and annotated decision support without requiring technical expertise.

Who Should Attend

This meetup is ideal for developers, data scientists, knowledge management professionals, policy researchers, and anyone interested in open-source solutions for data sovereignty. Whether you're working with unstructured data, building decision support systems, or exploring alternatives to proprietary knowledge management platforms, you'll gain practical insights into emerging tools and techniques.
