I am curious about Palantir and how they use ontology. Does anyone have a
recommendation of good materials (more depth and less commercial). I know
very little about the company but very curious about their tech. Thanks!
There is not much "real" ontology from what I could find. There are some
good pointers in this Reddit thread:

Someone writes the Ontology is basically just a lookup in Elastic, which
is definitely a big stretch for the word "ontology".
Others say it's basically Spark & Parquet files.
I have some other sources that confirm that from what I've seen so far
but I can't share them. You can also find training videos on YouTube,
they don't look particularly magic either.
Good thing is that they constantly use the o-word so it's getting hip
again :)
