Agenda

Knowledge graphs: types and shapes
19/dic

ABSTRACT

Since Google announced the internal use of Knowledge Graphs to improve search and organize information, their use and application has increased impressively. In this talk we will describe what are Knowledge
Graphs and identify four types of Knowledge Graphs: RDF based, property graphs, Wikibase and RDF 1.2 or RDF Star. We will also present some approaches that have been developed to describe and validate their
content like Shape Expressions (ShEx) or Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL). We will briefly describe them and show some differences, as well as showing how they can be extended to the different types of knowledge graphs.
