A knowledge graph
Entities with types, properties and relationships

Jo Stichbury @fluffymaccoy
Knowledge graphs are large networks of
entities, their semantic types, properties, and
relationships between those entities”

Building a Knowledge Graph

2005 - the Fact Repository

In general, knowledge graphs can be created by
1. manual curation
2. crowdsourcing
3. ...

A combination of :
1. manual curation
2. crowdsourcing
3. (semi-) automatic extraction

Research on knowledge management,
data cleaning and integration,
information extraction, graph mining and
embedding, knowledge-based search…

Head knowledge mainly collected by manual curation or importing large datasets

The web as a database:
The biggest knowledge graph ever
Imagine you could get the entire web in a database, and structure it. Then you would be able to get
answers to complex questions in seconds by querying, rather than searching.
This is what Diffbot promises.

Annotated Web
Schema / Structured Data

Tables and lists
Seemingly simple
Devilishly tricky, apparently

DOM extraction
Yelp, Amazon and other sites with solid HTML
providing semi-structured data

Free Texts
NLP, relatedness and co-occurence, topical siloing,
semantic triples...

It is one thing extracting the data
and making (some) sense of it

But is it true?

Associate scores / confidence

Node "Bryce Harper" 201 with
attribute has_birthday
date entity node "Oct. 16, 1992" 203
association score of 0.84

Node "Bryce Harper" 201 with
attribute has_career_HR_total
value entity node "60 Home Runs" 204
association score of 0.37

The difference in these association scores
(confidence) may arise due to

- the reliability of the sources used to
generate such relationships

generate such relationships
- the frequency of co-occurrences between
the entities

generate such relationships,
the entities
- the fact that one of the attributes values
(node 204) is changing over time

generate such relationships,
the entities
- the fact that one of the attributes values
(node 204) is changing over time
- and/or other factors

Who is playing the game ?
(and how well)

There are 1224 datasets in the
Linked Open Data Cloud

Containing over 40 billion facts

A working example

Knowledge graphs ...
Suitable for a continuous flow of large amounts of data from
diverse, heterogenous sources.
The ontology (semantics of the data) can be extended and
revised algorithmically as new data arrives.
Jo Stichbury @fluffymaccoy
(paraphrased)

“Google Maps is a great example of what the
future of search should look like — augmented
public data, powered by a knowledge graph.

real-time representation of the world
and answer geospatial queries
that have never been asked.
