Figure 1: Use case of a service technician

In this article, we present a proof of concept based on a use case from a multinational corporation. The aim was to enable intelligent information retrieval for detailed questions and problems. This information is based on intelligent content created from structured content enriched by a knowledge graph. The proof of concept looks quite promising and has already led to further developments.

A use case
