Knowledge Graphs: Arrange Data and Leverage Information to Decipher Life Solutions
With the availability of internet for public use since August 6, 1991, loads of digital information is generated and has multiplied manifolds. Generation and flow through web have created sea of information, about real world entities, on world wide web and it is increasing at a rapid speed, every moment. Solutions to questions have become easy on the net and is readily available, through the mobile and other digital devices. Have you ever wondered about the availability of information whenever you need and answers to all questions are independent of your geographic location? What is behind interlinking of this information? This information is accumulated overtime from billions of websites and pages created by users worldwide. This vast information is overwhelming and leads to confusion. We often doubt about the ambiguity of this information as well. Creation of Knowledge Graph (KG) is an approach to interlink worldwide information and leverage it through research, analysis and programmatic construct to decipher life solutions of multiple domains as in Medicine, Technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Social, Forensic Science.
What exactly is knowledge?
Knowledge is all information about real world objects. It may be people, non-living things, businesses, countries, animals, plants and other entities. This comprises of all data attributes as name, address, phone number, locations, physical features, related to an entity and the relationships between this data with other entities to reach specific outputs.
There are three kinds of knowledge about any entity or object:
Physical knowledge
Social knowledge
Logic o-mathematical knowledge.
Two major classification of knowledge are
Tacit knowledge: It is experience based, abstract and is non codified
Explicit knowledge: It can be codified in documents through computer language codes.
Concept of knowledge and its graph can be understood by example of growth and development of a brain from the birth onwards. How the innocent, blank, knowledge less brain of a baby, gains experiences and hence knowledge gradually…
