Knowledge graphs make AI agents more reliable, but the real work happens before the graph. This talk shows how to treat an ontology as a data contract and enforce it with Airflow 3: assets for each semantic layer, LLM extraction guided by the ontology, entity resolution and validation as a quality gate. We’ll build a knowledge graph from public data and finish with an agent querying it through MCP.
