An Introduction to Knowledge Graphs

Abstract

The first step in building a knowledge graph is creating knowledge from heterogeonous sources. First, we explain how to create terminological knowledge with a focus on ontologies and ontology engineering. Then we explain how assertional knowledge can be created from heterogonous sources, with examples of declarative map** languages like the Resource Description Framework Map** Language (RDFML).
