Complete beginner looking for help getting started with the Ontology

Hi everyone,

I’m brand new to Palantir Foundry and I’m starting from ground zero here. I’ve heard a lot about the Ontology and understand that it will help in some way to keep my data safe from models, but honestly I’m not sure where to begin.

A few things I’m hoping you can help with:

  • What exactly is the Ontology, in beginner-friendly terms?
  • How does it help protect or govern my data when it comes to working with models/AIP?
  • What’s the best first step or resource for someone learning this from scratch?

I don’t have any prior experience, so any pointers, tutorials, docs, or advice on how to get oriented would be hugely appreciated. Thanks so much!

Really appreciate this @shuvdeeo, I just went through the Speed Run Course from start to finish. I built a pipeline, used the Onotology manager etc.

How has your experience been with the ontology? I would love to hear experiences from people who have put this into production.
