#### Top insights from Knowledge Graph Insights

Knowledge graphs are a powerful way of working with data. They make semantic connections between multiple data sources, creating bridges between humans and machines to enable intelligent systems.&#x20;

Since then, he's interviewed over 40 practitioners. In this talk, he'll share his top insights from the podcast.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://london.worldiaday.org/community/larry-swanson.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
