Building an Knowledge Graph for Semantic Web Research

Dear all,

As Semantic Web community we should practice what we preach. A key aspect in this regard would be organizing our research finding in a knowledge graph.. With the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG), we have built in the last years a comprehensive open science|source|data|knowledge infrastructure for that purpose: https://orkg.org

In the ORKG you can easily create semantically structured, machine-readable comparisons of the state-of-the-art for specific research questions (see examples here: https://www.orkg.org/orkg/featured-comparisons). Creating such comparisons will on the one hand populate the knowledge graph of (semantic web) research and on the other hand facilitate us in collaborating and evaluating our work (e.g. in peer-review) better. It would be great if many of you would accompany your future paper submissions with an ORKG comparison: https://www.orkg.org/orkg/help-center/article/38/Accompany_your_paper_submission_with_an_ORKG_comparison

Two major venues in our field are already encouraging authors to accompany their submissions with ORKG comparisons:


·         ISWC 2022 https://iswc2022.semanticweb.org/index.php/research-track/

·         Semantics 2022: https://2022-eu.semantics.cc/cfp

There are many more opportunities to get involved - use the ORKG for your event, contribute to the development, help curating the content, develop knowledge extractions etc. etc.

BTW: If you are interested to work full time on the ORKG: we are also looking for a coordinator for the curation of the ORKG content:
