With this year’s Q4 release of ArcGIS Enterprise 10.9.1, comes a new way for users to explore and visualize the connection between you and your data, through the use of graphs. They call it ArcGIS Knowledge, an extension that has reenvisioned how data is being represented, by providing powerful insight and analysis to your ArcGIS Enterprise environment through ArcGIS Pro. These insights connect groups of people, places, or other entities, and the relationships that connect them in a graph network. This type of knowledge transfer is valuable for users who want to view specific patterns and relationships, in which they might not have previously been made aware. Opportunities for new insight and analytics are now easier than ever though the use of maps, link charts, histograms, and entity cards, helping to solve spatial and nonspatial problems.
Before we begin, users may want to familiarize themselves with some key terms associated with ArcGIS Knowledge, in the Essential Vocabulary documentation. One of the main terms that you will see getting tossed around a lot is knowledge graphs. Knowledge graphs allow users to create, explore and analyze spatial, nonspatial, and structured data, to help make quicker decisions. Learn how to create a knowledge graph here.

One of the benefits that ArcGIS Knowledge offers is its ability to connect ArcGIS Pro to the enterprise ArcGIS Data Store graph store. The ArcGIS Data Store is an application in which users have the ability to configure data storage for hosting servers, used with ArcGIS Enterprise. For users who are not as familiar with databases, the ArcGIS Database store provides users with a convenient setup and configuration experience that creates a variety of different data stores. For more information on ArcGIS Data Stores make sure to check out their official overview page.
As for ArcGIS Knowledge, some of the new key features that this new software has to offer includes the following:
As part of Esri’s Q4 release, ArcGIS knowledge will now be made available for all users to take advantage of. Before you deploy ArcGIS Knowledge Server on your Enterprise, check out all of your configuration needs. And to learn more about the Enterprise 10.9.1 update, check out our recent blog.
