The Agent-Ready
Context Layer

Every vendor claims a "context layer." Some call it an "ontology." Most vendors are neither, and that's how you end up with AI slop.

Ontologist Jessica Talisman has spent 25 years building the knowledge infrastructure, controlled vocabularies, taxonomies, and ontologies, that most AI deployments skip straight past.

In this live conversation, she and Collate CTO Harsha Chintalapani will discuss how metadata, meaning, and memory have to work together for agentic AI to be accurate on real enterprise data.

You'll leave the discussion able to:

• Test any "context layer" or "ontology" claim against what makes one real across logic, commitments, reasoning, and inference
• Spot a context layer that hides its reasoning before you trust it
• Understand how open standards let you own your context, not your vendor

7.1x more accurate answers. 86% less compute. That's what getting context right looks like.
