Understanding Taxonomy, Ontology and Knowledge Graphs
We are really looking forward to attending Semantic Data Europe 2025: Taxonomy, Ontology, and Knowledge Graphs.
Taking place on 26 June in London, this compelling event brings together practitioners and innovators in data, taxonomy, ontology, and knowledge graph development.
Ideal for all Information Professionals, DAM Managers, Data Organisers, Knowledge Managers, Data Architects, Taxonomists and Ontologists, the day promises to offer valuable insights into the latest developments and best practices in the field of semantic data.
Covering Semantic Layer Technology, Knowledge Graphs and Content Graphs, Taxonomy Development and Management, NLP, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and more, attendees can hear from leading data experts representing multiple industry sectors, who will be sharing practical advice, how they tackle challenges and implement effective solutions; as well as their visions for the future and how they are already shaping the world of tomorrow.
The event features a fantastic line up of speakers, including Christelle Maignan, Lead Ontologist at IKEA, revealing how The IKEA Knowledge Graph is bridging the gap between physical and digital customer experiences, as well as Ben Gardener, R&D Lead for Data Mesh and Semantic Infrastructure at AstraZeneca, who shares how they overcame the challenge of building model data and knowledge graphs using inconsistent, siloed data from multiple sources.
Our very own Marc Stephenson, Director and Information Architect will also be on stage as part of a compelling panel discussion, entitled “Will AI take my job?”
He joins other experts where together they will address the rapid advancement of AI in natural language processing and machine learning, what this means for taxonomists, ontologists, and other data professionals, and ways to stay indispensable in a shifting technological landscape.

Marc adds: “Semantic Data 2025 presents the opportunity to explore the tools and approaches necessary to develop, structure, manage and use data in the age of enhanced AI. I’m delighted to be part of this event and looking forward to hearing the latest AI innovations and industry trends while strengthening our connections with other taxonomy professionals and ontology experts.”
