Overview
▪ Knowledge graphs are gaining more interest.
▪ There is some uncertainty in how to definite knowledge graphs.
▪ Knowledge graphs span the fields of knowledge management information
science, information technology, computer science.
▪ There are increasing applications of knowledge graphs.
▪ Knowledge graphs closely relate to ontologies and often include taxonomies.

What knowledge graphs are
▪ The organization and representation of a knowledge base as a graph:
as a network of nodes and links, not a table of rows and columns
▪ Usually based on data in graph databases, rather than relational databases
▪ Is both human-readable and machine-readable
▪ Usually includes, but not limited to, visualizations, such as of…
– A display of interconnected nodes and links
– A display of related information in a "fact box“
– An output of graph analytics

Issues with knowledge graph definitions
▪ “Knowledge graphs” have different meanings from different perspectives:
from knowledge engineers, data engineers, data architects, etc.
▪ Sometimes considered the same as a knowledge base, or at least a
knowledge base that is represented as a graph.
▪ Wikipedia redirects “Knowledge graph” to “Ontology (information science).”
▪ An entire presentation and article on definition issues:
"Towards a Definition of Knowledge Graphs," by Lisa Eherlinger and Wolfram
Wöß, CEUR Workshop Proceedings presentation at SEMANTiCS 2016
http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1695/paper4.pdf

Defining Knowledge Graphs

Issues with knowledge graph definitions
Related to ontologies, whose definition is also not precise. An ontology can be:
1. A complex knowledge organization system with defined types (classes or
individuals), attribute properties and semantic relations
2. A semantic layer, in accordance with W3C standards, that defines the generic
types, attributes and relations, and can be applied to taxonomies and other
knowledge organization systems
▪ For definition #2 of an ontology, the combination of the generic semantic-
layer ontology along with the specific instances (such as found in a
taxonomy), then is something else, called a knowledge graph.
▪ But the combination may also called an ontology, resembling definition #1,
which results in the conflation of “ontology” and “knowledge graph.”
Defining Knowledge Graphs

Knowledge graphs and ontologies
▪ “A knowledge graph acquires and integrates information into an ontology and
applies a reasoner to derive new knowledge.” - Eherlinger and Wöß, “Towards
a Definition of Knowledge Graphs.”
▪ Whereas an ontology can be a generic model template of how things are
related to each other, a knowledge graph is the actual instance of that model.
▪ A knowledge graph is an ontology + instance data (instance terms and links to
data and content)
➢ Knowledge graphs are ontologies and more.
➢ A knowledge graph may also comprise multiple ontologies, or an ontology and
other vocabularies.
Defining Knowledge Graphs
11© 2019 Hedden Information Management
Creating knowledge graphs
▪ Create or utilize taxonomies, apply ontologies, and link to data/content.
▪ Follow SKOS, OWL, and RDF standards of the W3C.
– For example, all nodes must have URIs (Uniform Resource Identifies).
▪ Graph-database software tools can help.
▪ Data may be added manually or automated/minded, or a combination.
Manual technique is similar to that for creating taxonomies and ontologies,
including:
▪ Inventory of content and data
▪ Development of use cases
▪ Mapping relationships
Introduction to Knowledge Graphs
12© 2019 Hedden Information Management
Knowledge graphs and ontologies both:
▪ Represent nodes (things) and relationships between them
▪ Can be visually represented in the same way of nodes and defined
relationships and then may look the same in the visualization
▪ Are based on Semantic Web standards, such as RDF triples
▪ Tend to have been more the expertise domain of computer scientists and data
scientists of than information professionals/taxonomists, but that’s changing!
Also a growing area of interest in knowledge management (business).
Knowledge Graphs and Ontologies
13© 2019 Hedden Information Management
Knowledge graphs and ontologies are based on RDF
RDF, a standard model for data interchange on the Web, uses URIs to name
things and the relationship between things, which are referred to as triples:
(1) Subject – (2) Predicate – (3) Object.
Subject Predicate Object
SUBJECT PREDICATE
OBJECT

Knowledge graphs and knowledge organization systems
(taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, etc.)
▪ Knowledge graphs may comprise multiple domains and thus multiple
knowledge organization systems.
▪ Knowledge graphs can link together disparate sources of vocabularies and
data.
Knowledge Graphs and Knowledge Organization Systems
15© 2019 Hedden Information Management
What knowledge graphs can do
▪ Integrate knowledge
▪ Serve data governance
▪ Provide semantic enrichment
▪ Bring structured and unstructured data together
▪ Provide unified view of different kinds of unconnected data sources
▪ Provide a semantic layers on top of the metadata layer
▪ Improve search results beyond machine learning and algorithms
▪ Answer complex user questions instead of merely returning documents on a
topic
▪ Combine with deep text analytics, semantic AI, and machine learning
Uses, Implementations, and Examples
16© 2019 Hedden Information Management
Implementations of knowledge graphs
▪ Recommendation engine (such as in ecommerce)
▪ Expert finder
▪ Question-answering based on data
▪ Enterprise knowledge management
▪ Search and discovery
▪ Customer 360 – view of everything known about customers
▪ Compliance
Implementation usually requires:
▪ a content management system
▪ search engine
Uses, Implementations, and Examples
17© 2019 Hedden Information Management
Examples of implementations
▪ Search engine results
– Google’s Knowledge Graph (since 2012)
Freebase, a proprietary graph database acquired by Google in 2010 when
it bought Metaweb
– Microsoft’s Satori (since 2012)
Microsoft Research’s Trinity graph database and computing platform
▪ Healthdirect Australia - public website health symptom checker
https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/symptom-checker
combining data on initial symptoms, gender and age, and then questions on
proposed additional symptoms
Uses, Implementations, and Examples

  • 8. Issues with knowledge graph definitions ▪ “Knowledge graphs” have different meanings from different perspectives: from knowledge engineers, data engineers, data architects, etc. ▪ Sometimes considered the same as a knowledge base, or at least a knowledge base that is represented as a graph. ▪ Wikipedia redirects “Knowledge graph” to “Ontology (information science).” ▪ An entire presentation and article on definition issues: "Towards a Definition of Knowledge Graphs," by Lisa Eherlinger and Wolfram Wöß, CEUR Workshop Proceedings presentation at SEMANTiCS 2016 http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1695/paper4.pdf Defining Knowledge Graphs 8© 2019 Hedden Information Management
  • 10. Issues with knowledge graph definitions Related to ontologies, whose definition is also not precise. An ontology can be: 1. A complex knowledge organization system with defined types (classes or individuals), attribute properties and semantic relations 2. A semantic layer, in accordance with W3C standards, that defines the generic types, attributes and relations, and can be applied to taxonomies and other knowledge organization systems ▪ For definition #2 of an ontology, the combination of the generic semantic- layer ontology along with the specific instances (such as found in a taxonomy), then is something else, called a knowledge graph. ▪ But the combination may also called an ontology, resembling definition #1, which results in the conflation of “ontology” and “knowledge graph.” Defining Knowledge Graphs 10© 2019 Hedden Information Management
  • 11. Knowledge graphs and ontologies ▪ “A knowledge graph acquires and integrates information into an ontology and applies a reasoner to derive new knowledge.” - Eherlinger and Wöß, “Towards a Definition of Knowledge Graphs.” ▪ Whereas an ontology can be a generic model template of how things are related to each other, a knowledge graph is the actual instance of that model. ▪ A knowledge graph is an ontology + instance data (instance terms and links to data and content) ➢ Knowledge graphs are ontologies and more. ➢ A knowledge graph may also comprise multiple ontologies, or an ontology and other vocabularies.

  • 12. Creating knowledge graphs ▪ Create or utilize taxonomies, apply ontologies, and link to data/content. ▪ Follow SKOS, OWL, and RDF standards of the W3C. – For example, all nodes must have URIs (Uniform Resource Identifies). ▪ Graph-database software tools can help. ▪ Data may be added manually or automated/minded, or a combination. Manual technique is similar to that for creating taxonomies and ontologies, including: ▪ Inventory of content and data ▪ Development of use cases ▪ Mapping relationships Introduction to Knowledge Graphs 12© 2019 Hedden Information Management
  • 13. Knowledge graphs and ontologies both: ▪ Represent nodes (things) and relationships between them ▪ Can be visually represented in the same way of nodes and defined relationships and then may look the same in the visualization ▪ Are based on Semantic Web standards, such as RDF triples ▪ Tend to have been more the expertise domain of computer scientists and data scientists of than information professionals/taxonomists, but that’s changing! Also a growing area of interest in knowledge management (business). Knowledge Graphs and Ontologies 13© 2019 Hedden Information Management
  • 14. Knowledge graphs and ontologies are based on RDF RDF, a standard model for data interchange on the Web, uses URIs to name things and the relationship between things, which are referred to as triples: (1) Subject – (2) Predicate – (3) Object.

  • 15. Knowledge graphs and knowledge organization systems (taxonomies, thesauri, ontologies, etc.) ▪ Knowledge graphs may comprise multiple domains and thus multiple knowledge organization systems. ▪ Knowledge graphs can link together disparate sources of vocabularies and data.

  • 16. What knowledge graphs can do ▪ Integrate knowledge ▪ Serve data governance ▪ Provide semantic enrichment ▪ Bring structured and unstructured data together ▪ Provide unified view of different kinds of unconnected data sources ▪ Provide a semantic layers on top of the metadata layer ▪ Improve search results beyond machine learning and algorithms ▪ Answer complex user questions instead of merely returning documents on a topic ▪ Combine with deep text analytics, semantic AI, and machine learning Uses, Implementations, and Examples 16© 2019 Hedden Information Management
  • 17. Implementations of knowledge graphs ▪ Recommendation engine (such as in ecommerce) ▪ Expert finder ▪ Question-answering based on data ▪ Enterprise knowledge management ▪ Search and discovery ▪ Customer 360 – view of everything known about customers ▪ Compliance Implementation usually requires: ▪ a content management system ▪ search engine Uses, Implementations, and Examples 17© 2019 Hedden Information Management
  • 18. Examples of implementations ▪ Search engine results – Google’s Knowledge Graph (since 2012) Freebase, a proprietary graph database acquired by Google in 2010 when it bought Metaweb – Microsoft’s Satori (since 2012) Microsoft Research’s Trinity graph database and computing platform ▪ Healthdirect Australia - public website health symptom checker https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/symptom-checker combining data on initial symptoms, gender and age, and then questions on proposed additional symptoms Uses, Implementations, and Examples 18© 2019 Hedden Information Management
