Semantic Web technologies such as OWL, RDF/RDFS, SPARQL, and SHACL, offer powerful tools for managing data in flexible, meaningful, and scalable ways. As organizations increasingly adopt modern data architectures such as Data Mesh and Data Fabrics, Semantic Knowledge Graphs can serve as a unifying semantic layer, making data easier to integrate, validate, and utilize with explicit knowledge representation and automated reasoning.
Yet many teams hesitate to adopt these technologies, viewing them as overly complex or academic. This book aims to challenge that perception by showing how these tools can be used practically and effectively in real-world systems. From requirements to models to code, you’ll learn how Semantic Web standards can help you work with messy, evolving, real world data.
Designing Semantic Knowledge Graphs is a hands-on guide for software engineers and data professionals who want to design and build semantic models that align with modern enterprise needs and integrate with Large Language Models. All techniques are illustrated using state-of-the-art free tools. All the example ontologies, SHACL models, SPARQL queries, and Python code are available on GitHub under an open source license.
You Will:
- See how Semantic Web standards such as OWL, RDF, SPARQL, SHACL, and SWRL enable modern data architectures such as Data Mesh and Data Fabrics
- Model domains in ways that balance top-down conceptual structure with bottom-up data realities
- Develop strategies for data ingestion, transformation, and validation at scale
- Integrate knowledge graphs with Large Language Models and automated reasoning tools
This Book is For:
Developers, data scientists, software architects, and engineers who work with structured or semi-structured data and want to build smarter, more adaptable systems. This book will also be useful to product managers, analysts, and consultants seeking better insight into their organization's data strategy.

About the Author
Michael DeBellis is a Semantic Web and AI consultant and researcher with over 40 years of experience in industry and academia. He began designing ontologies in the early 1980s while building expert systems for Accenture and later worked as a researcher at USC’s Information Sciences Institute (ISI), where he used Loom — a direct predecessor to the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Throughout his career at firms including Deloitte, Accenture, and ThoughtWorks, he has focused on applying advanced technology to real-world enterprise challenges. His work emphasizes the practical integration of Semantic Knowledge Graphs into complex systems, highlighting the importance of user requirements, legacy data, and enterprise architecture over purely theoretical modeling. He has published and presented internationally on a broad range of topics across multiple domains.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
