To make the most out of this sort of interconnected data, it is often best to use Graph Databases. Project DADO have done exactly this, by implementing a sophisticated graph database in their SmartLinks product. CEO Jake Olsen shares their process for developing the database approach, and how graph databases fit in a larger data management picture.

]]> Introduction to Data Operations: Ryan Gross Ryan Gross 00:47:05 There is a lot of data in construction, so much that how to deal with it efficiently is an issue. This issue of operations around data has been explored in many other industries, and we can benefit from their learning curve. I've asked Ryan Gross to join for a second time to go deep on this important issue. We discuss a bunch of tools that construction teams can work with at low cost to extract, transform, analyze and otherwise manage their data. We also talk about processes and considerations for standing up data processes. The importance of a tried and tested technology, Structured Query Language, or SQL, and why teams should learn SQL, is a big takeaway, amongst others. This episode is a must listen for innovation teams, IT teams, PMs and other looking to up their Data Game.
