Knowledge Graphs (KGs) and related technologies have recently attracted significant attention from both academia and industry in scenarios that require sharing, managing, and exploiting knowledge from diverse sources of data on the Web. The growing publication and utilization of open and enterprise KGs, such as DBpedia, Freebase, Wikidata, YAGO, Google Knowledge Graph, Microsoft Satori, Facebook Entity Graph, Amazon Product Graph, and others, have prompted emerging research efforts on investigating how KGs can be leveraged to realize more knowledgeable techniques and applications for the next-generation Web. However, the existing approaches face a number of challenges on develo** KG-enabled technologies. Firstly, there is still a lack of widely recognized theories and practices for employing KGs in designing and implementing Web applications. Secondly, despite the recent progress of KG embedding techniques, KGs have not yet been well integrated with existing AI methods to achieve knowledgeable Web systems. Thirdly, a unified mechanism remains to be developed to guide users on how to effectively interact with KG-enabled applications on the Web.

Aims and Scope

This special issue aims to establish a forum for the dissemination of recent high-quality research advances from worldwide scholars to address the challenges in knowledge-graph-enabled methods and applications for the future Web. Existing studies on KGs mainly focus on either the traditional direction of knowledge engineering or the model aspect of knowledge representation learning. Currently, there are few research works that are devoted to how the stack of knowledge engineering approaches can be more effectively and efficiently integrated with machine learning approaches to overcome key issues including accuracy, efficiency, explainability, and knowledgeability. Thus, this special issue will encourage researchers to pay more attention to the significant gap and deliver practical contributions. Therefore, this special issue will focus on emerging methods and advance applications that are KG-enabled for the future Web.
