TopQuadrant has launched TQ Data Foundation, an enterprise context platform designed to address what it calls the "AI context gap" that prevents organisations from scaling AI beyond pilot programmes. The Raleigh-based company says the platform provides the contextual foundation needed for trusted, autonomous AI agents. The platform addresses the problem of fragmented business meaning across enterprise systems, where definitions vary and logic is hard-coded. TQ Data Foundation uses knowledge graph technology built on four pillars: models that encode business concepts, references that align terminology, metadata from various sources, and business logic expressed as code. The platform manages the full lifecycle of foundational data and context, enabling organisations to capture, activate and evolve business context. TopQuadrant positions the offering as critical infrastructure for enterprises moving from data foundations for human users to context-driven foundations for AI systems.

Ingrid Ramos Nakamura joins TopQuadrant as Head of Marketing to accelerate go-to-market growth of AI for data governance, metadata management, and agentic AI.
