According to Yahoo7! CTO, Craig Penfold, picking the Blazegraph graph database platform was a key technology choice. He says,  “By changing the underlying datastore we are able to pull in all the content around a character dynamically and at scale.”  A team at Yahoo7! builds the knowledge graph fusing content and context using Semantic Web technologies.  \nAll of this context is is captured in a knowledge graph and stored in the Blazegraph platform, which provides graph database management and graph query capabilities for the portal. Using the Blazegraph HA features provides Yahoo7! a scalable path to deploy these capabilities and realize new levels of user engagement on its content portals. This session will present how Yahoo!7 leveraged the Blazegraph HA graph database and discuss the technology that enabled these results.
