Knowledge graph

A knowledge graph is a structured representation of entities and their relationships. In research contexts, it can connect publications, authors, places, methods, datasets, and claims in a machine-actionable form.

Knowledge graphs support discovery, comparison, and contextualization of research outputs beyond flat document lists.
