Common use cases in the Knowledge Engineering category include:

### Drug Discovery

Find new drugs faster by examining the relationships between diseases, pathways, genes, proteins and drugs to accelerate target identification, drug repurposing and disease gene prioritization.

### Risk Management

Identify, assess, control and mitigate business risks (e.g., financial or reputational) by analyzing any and all connections between a business and potential threats, direct or indirect.

### Supply Chain Management (SCM)

Improve the speed and efficiency of supply chains, and alleviate or prevent disruptions, by optimizing the connections between stores, warehouses, factories, suppliers and more.

### Data Fabric

Create a unified layer that connects all of a business’s data, often sourced from disparate databases, so employees can discover and access knowledge which encompasses the entire business.
