During the last 2 years, Cognite has taken a very iterative approach to enable flexible data modeling. The key highlight towards this effort can be outlined through 3 key initiatives - Templates, Schema Service and ITG. In this article we will hope to outline the key difference between the 3. Templates Templates is a data modeling capability built on the concepts of GraphQL. Through building a GraphQL data model, you can define the data model that is intended for your solution. Additionally, you can load data into the data model via referencing existing CDF resources or loading in values directly for primitives like String, Boolean, and Float. Lastly, you get the ability to query the data via a GraphQL endpoint, supporting pagination and complex logical filters (with ANDs and ORs).Here is a list of features doable via TemplatesModeling data modelPrimitives (String, Boolean etc.) Relationships between them (1-1, 1-N, N-M).

In heavy asset industries 3D scans are used for applications such as quality inspection, project progress reporting, project planning, evaluating the state of a site ‘as built’ or even evaluating the vegetation around it. The scans span from simple scans performed with a drone in 15 minutes to complex and detailed scans of a plant, taking several weeks to complete. In this 3 part series about 3D scanning with robots we will take you through how to capture, transform, analyze and visualize 3D scan data in order to improve daily operations. What we’d like to know before going is if someone has any questions or topics that you want to learn more about? All questions are greatly appreciated and can span from how do you set up the robot to capture the data to what robot and data management pipeline would you use for use case X? Point cloud from drone scan with contextualized segmentation

We received this question from a partner and figured it could be useful for more of you, so sharing it here :) Step 1Create a label via the APIhttps://api.cognitedata.com/api/v1/projects/{project}/labelsDocument Referencehttps://docs.cognite.com/api/v1/#operation/createLabelDefinitions Step 2Run the following transformation query with the created labelselect  id, externalId,  array("<created_label>") as labels  from _cdf.assetswhere id not in (select distinct parentId from _cdf.assets where parentId is not null) E.gCreate label as “leaf_node”select  id, externalId,  array("leaf_node") as labels  from _cdf.assetswhere id not in (select distinct parentId from _cdf.assets where parentId is not null)

Hi Community! For those who’d prefer our Industrial Data Operations book as normal PDF, here it is. Enjoy! 

Hi! Welcome back to the Transformations group on Cognite Hub. Now that you have tried out the transformations SDK and API ( and, I hope you liked it and didn’t miss sharing your experience or feedback with us). In this post, I will introduce you to Transformations CLI. Before that, a bit about me and why I am writing this article - I’m Emel Varol, Software Engineer in the Data integrations team. I contributed to the design and development of the new Transformations CLI and I can’t wait to introduce it to you. Let’s get started! Please note : The new Tranformations CLI replaces the old Jetfire CLI This article has two parts. The first part focuses on how to use Transformations CLI on your local system or virtual machine for developing transformations. The second part focuses on using CLI in version control systems like GitHub for CI/CDThe following parts aim to summarise the documentation for the CLI and the GitHub Action. Please refer to the full documentation here for more details!Tra

The digital twin is the foundation for industrial digitalization efforts, delivering real-time insights, accurate forecasting, and intelligent decision-making. In the almost two decades since the term was invented, industry - and the world - have changed dramatically. So what’s next for digital twin technology? Johan Krebber, IT Strategist at Cognite, summarized his perspective on the evolution of the digital twin concept during a panel at Ignite Talks, 2021’s big industrial digitalization conference.Read here an extended expert interview between Johan and Petteri Vainikka, our Vice President of Product Marketing, on the future of digital twins:  Did this interview cause some reflections? We’d love to hear from you and your experiences. 

This article is intended for customers that are planning to migrate, or are in the process of migrating, to Cognite Data Fusion’s (CDF) new authentication system which will be based on Open ID Connect (OIDC). It will cover in detail all aspects of this migration process, and hopefully help making this migration process as simple as possible.What is OIDC? OpenID Connect is an industry-standard protocol supported by many popular identity providers (IdP), such as Azure Active Directory (Azure AD), Microsoft's cloud-based identity and access management service.For more information about OIDC, please visit the official website. What are the benefits of using OIDC over CDF’s legacy authentication? The greatest benefit of using OIDC over CDF’s legacy authentication, is that the user’s identity will now have a single source of truth – the Identity Provider (idP). This simplifies identity management greatly, and makes it more secure by leveraging the idP’s strength – namely identity management.

We, C4IR Ocean, want to become the world’s most important data collaboration hub, advancing both ocean health and wealth…..and being powered by CDF! This Monday, I participated in one of Norway´s most popular knowledge based radio shows, #ekko Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK) P2. The newly appointed Minister for Fisheries and Ocean Policy Bjørnar Skjæran was the main guest for this special edition called "The Ocean Hour". The show is in Norwegian….unfortunately. https://radio.nrk.no/serie/ekko/MDFP02019321I even got some pictures of the minister and me :)  

Today we had the first Ocean Data Platform webinar ever due to our close partnership with OPS Seafood Norway (“OPS Sjømat”). We have completed the first phase in our collaboration project and will soon launch a “lusedata” (salmon lice analytics) solution in limited availability to be tested with fish health experts. We have got location data and lice statistics from more than 1000 Norwegian aquaculture locations.Here’s a screenshot from the MVP:
