Knowledge Graphs Evolution and Preservation -- A Technical Report from ISWS 2019
One of the grand challenges discussed during the Dagstuhl Seminar "Knowledge
Graphs: New Directions for Knowledge Representation on the Semantic Web" and
described in its report is that of a: "Public FAIR Knowledge Graph of
Everything: We increasingly see the creation of knowledge graphs that capture
information about the entirety of a class of entities. [...] This grand
challenge extends this further by asking if we can create a knowledge graph of
"everything" ranging from common sense concepts to location based entities.
This knowledge graph should be "open to the public" in a FAIR manner
democratizing this mass amount of knowledge." Although linked open data (LOD)
is one knowledge graph, it is the closest realisation (and probably the only
one) to a public FAIR Knowledge Graph (KG) of everything. Surely, LOD provides
a unique testbed for experimenting and evaluating research hypotheses on open
and FAIR KG. One of the most neglected FAIR issues about KGs is their ongoing
evolution and long term preservation. We want to investigate this problem, that
is to understand what preserving and supporting the evolution of KGs means and
how these problems can be addressed. Clearly, the problem can be approached
from different perspectives and may require the development of different
approaches, including new theories, ontologies, metrics, strategies,
procedures, etc. This document reports a collaborative effort performed by 9
teams of students, each guided by a senior researcher as their mentor,
attending the International Semantic Web Research School (ISWS 2019). Each team
provides a different perspective to the problem of knowledge graph evolution
substantiated by a set of research questions as the main subject of their
investigation. In addition, they provide their working definition for KG
preservation and evolution
SoftwareKG-PMC
<p>SoftwareKG-PMC is a Knowledge Graph of Software mentions extracted from articles of the PMC Open Access Dataset.</p><p>Code for Construction and Analysis is provided at https://github.com/f-krueger/SoftwareKG-PMC-Analysis</p><p>This data set contains the CSV based representation of the SoftwareKG knowledge graph.</p><p>Note that the CSV files do not contain information about articles that where only available as pdf, so the overall number of articles considered here is reduced to 3036913.</p>This work was financially supported by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) as part of the projects SFB 1270/2 (grant: 299150580) and ScienceLinker (grant: 404417453).
Parts of the computation were done by using a compute cluster funded by DFG (grant: 440623123)
The RichWPS Environment for Orchestration
Web service (WS) orchestration can be considered as a fundamental concept in service-oriented architectures (SOA), as well as in spatial data infrastructures (SDI). In recent years in SOA, advanced solutions were developed, such as realizing orchestrated web services on the basis of already existing more fine-granular web services by using standardized notations and existing orchestration engines. Even if the concepts can be mapped to the field of SDI, on a conceptual level the implementations target different goals. As a specialized form of a common web service, an Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) web service (OWS) is optimized for a specific purpose. On the technological level, web services depend on standards like the Web Service Description Language (WSDL) or the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP). However OWS are different. Consequently, a new concept for OWS orchestration is needed that works on the interface provided by OWS. Such a concept is presented in this work. The major component is an orchestration engine integrated in a Web Processing Service (WPS) server that uses a domain specific language (DSL) for workflow description. The developed concept is the base for the realization of new functionality, such as workflow testing, and workflow optimization
