From Genesis to Maturity: Managing Knowledge Graph Ecosystems Through Life Cycles

Knowledge graphs (KGs) play a crucial role in the integration and organization of heterogeneous data and knowledge, enabling advanced data analytics and decision-making across various industries. This vision paper addresses critical challenges in managing KGs, emphasizing their relevance in integrating information from disparate sources. We propose the concept of knowledge graph ecosystems and life cycles to systematically manage tasks, e.g., data integration, standardization, continuous updates, efficient querying, and provenance tracking. By adopting our approach, organizations can enhance the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of KGs, thus improving knowledge management, enabling the extraction of valuable insights, and ensuring transparency and accountability.

Abstract

Knowledge graphs (KGs) play a crucial role in the integration and organization of heterogeneous data and knowledge, enabling advanced data analytics and decision-making across various industries. This vision paper addresses critical challenges in managing KGs, emphasizing their relevance in integrating information from disparate sources. We propose the concept of knowledge graph ecosystems and life cycles to systematically manage tasks, e.g., data integration, standardization, continuous updates, efficient querying, and provenance tracking. By adopting our approach, organizations can enhance the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of KGs, thus improving knowledge management, enabling the extraction of valuable insights, and ensuring transparency and accountability.
