Summary
Tony Hammond is a data architect with 11+ years focused on knowledge engineering, graph databases and ontologies, currently building an enterprise knowledge graph at UBS. He previously led the creation of Springer Nature’s SciGraph and the data.nature.com linked data platform, contributing to public releases that collectively represent around a billion facts. Tony combines deep domain experience in scientific publishing with hands-on data modelling, ETL and governance—he co-managed an Ontology Board and established data quality regimes for large-scale data ingest and publishing. His background in physics and space sciences gives him a strong analytical foundation and an appreciation for rigorous, reproducible models. He is authoring a Pragmatic Bookshelf title, Exploring Graphs with Elixir, and brings a practical bent toward distributed data and compute. Colleagues value him for turning complex, heterogeneous datasets into interoperable knowledge assets.
