[esip-semantictech] Looking for Earth science knowledge graphs

[Ma, Xiaogang (max@uidaho.edu)]

In application practices of semantic web, network analysis, etc. I would treat a knowledge graph as a mixture of classes, instances and relationships in one or few domains.
I have an example about the geologic time: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12145-013-0110-x

  *   Geologic time is a ordinal (old to young) and hierarchical (Eon, Era, Period, etc.) structure
  *   There are different levels of classes about time intervals and points, instances (e.g. Jurassic) and relationships (e.g. Early Jurassic is part of Jurassic)

The very recent work of ontology and vocabulary was developed by Simon Cox: http://resource.geosciml.org/vocabulary/timescale/
I developed a visualization and information app using Simon’s work: http://geotime.tw.rpi.edu

Best,

 Hi all,

A colleague of mine, Jim McCusker (copied), is writing a paper entitled “What is a Knowledge Graph”? I think it will be a useful paper.

Right now he’s looking for examples. He works more in the life sciences world and would like some examples from the Earth sciences.

I’m deliberately not defining “knowledge graph” because Jim is interested in what he might receive.

What do y’all got? Kindly copy the group and Jim.

cheers,

-m.
