Introduction to Knowledge Engineering

About this Course

This course introduces you to the core ideas, processes, and instruments you have to know to be able to get a foundational information of information engineering. You’ll achieve an understanding of the fashionable information ecosystem and the position Knowledge Engineers, Knowledge Scientists, and Knowledge Analysts play on this ecosystem.

The Knowledge Engineering Ecosystem consists of a number of completely different parts. It consists of disparate information varieties, codecs, and sources of information. Knowledge Pipelines collect information from a number of sources, remodel it into analytics-ready information, and make it accessible to information customers for analytics and decision-making. Knowledge repositories, comparable to relational and non-relational databases, information warehouses, information marts, information lakes, and large information shops course of and retailer this information. Knowledge Integration Platforms mix disparate information right into a unified view for the info customers. You’ll study every of those parts on this course. Additionally, you will study Huge Knowledge and using a few of the Huge Knowledge processing instruments. A typical Knowledge Engineering lifecycle consists of architecting information platforms, designing information shops, and gathering, importing, wrangling, querying, and analyzing information. It additionally consists of efficiency monitoring and finetuning to make sure programs are acting at optimum ranges. On this course, you’ll study in regards to the information engineering lifecycle. Additionally, you will study safety, governance, and compliance. Knowledge Engineering is acknowledged as one of many fastest-growing fields immediately. The profession alternatives accessible within the subject and the completely different paths you possibly can take to enter this subject are mentioned within the course. The course additionally consists of hands-on labs that information you to create your IBM Cloud Lite account, provision a database occasion, load information into the database occasion, and carry out some fundamental querying operations that assist you to perceive your dataset.
