Abstract:
Knowledge graphs are an essential ingredient for information systems to 
handle the ever growing COVID-19 data on a daily basis. This 
presentation explains how open and collaborative FAIR knowledge bases 
like Wikidata can be useful to create a large-scale semantic 
representation of COVID-19 information from CORD-19 scholarly 
publications. I give an overview of how a data model has been 
collaboratively developed and maintained for COVID-19 knowledge, and I 
provide a detailed snapshot about the various methods used to extract 
items and statements from CORD-19 research papers. Then, I outline the 
tools for the enrichment of COVID-19 information on Wikidata as well as 
the knowledge graph validation methods applicable to COVID-19 knowledge. 
Finally, I describe the COVID-19 information in Wikidata and discuss its 
usefulness in supporting human decisions and social recommendations 
about the infectious disease.

The session will also be recorded (thanks to Victor Mireles-Chavez).

CORD-19 is a database, released by the Allen Institute, of scholarly 
literature related to COVID-19.
