商品描述

This textbook introduces the theoretical foundations of technologies essential for knowledge graphs. It also covers practical examples, applications and tools. Knowledge graphs are the most recent answer to the challenge of providing explicit knowledge about entities and their relationships by potentially integrating billions of facts from heterogeneous sources.

The book is structured in four parts. For a start, Part I lays down the overall context of knowledge graph technology. Part II "Knowledge Representation" then provides a deep understanding of semantics as the technical core of knowledge graph technology. Semantics is covered from different perspectives, such as conceptual, epistemological and logical. Next, Part III "Knowledge Modelling" focuses on the building process of knowledge graphs. The book focuses on the phases of knowledge generation, knowledge hosting, knowledge assessment, knowledge cleaning, knowledge enrichment, and knowledge deployment to cover a complete life cycle for this process. Finally, Part IV (simply called "Applications") presents various application areas in detail with concrete application examples as well as an outlook on additional trends that will emphasize the need for knowledge graphs even stronger.

This textbook is intended for graduate courses covering knowledge graphs. Besides students in knowledge graph, Semantic Web, database, or information retrieval classes, also advanced software developers for Web applications or tools for Web data management will learn about the foundations and appropriate methods.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本教科書介紹了知識圖譜所需的技術的理論基礎。它還涵蓋了實際示例、應用和工具。知識圖譜是對提供關於實體及其關係的明確知識的挑戰的最新回答,它可以從異質來源中整合數十億個事實。

該書分為四個部分。首先,第一部分奠定了知識圖譜技術的整體背景。然後,第二部分“知識表示”提供了對語義學作為知識圖譜技術的技術核心的深入理解。語義學從概念、認識論和邏輯等不同角度進行了探討。接下來,第三部分“知識建模”專注於知識圖譜的構建過程。該書著重介紹知識生成、知識主機、知識評估、知識清理、知識豐富化和知識部署等階段,以涵蓋整個過程的完整生命周期。最後,第四部分(簡稱“應用”)詳細介紹了各種應用領域,包括具體的應用示例,並展望了強調對知識圖譜需求的其他趨勢。

這本教科書適用於涵蓋知識圖譜的研究生課程。除了知識圖譜、語義網、數據庫或信息檢索課程的學生外,還適用於網絡應用程序或網絡數據管理工具的高級軟件開發人員,他們將學習有關基礎和適當方法的知識。

作者簡介

Umutcan Serles is a postdoctoral researcher with the Semantic Technology Institute Innsbruck at the University of Innsbruck's Department of Computer Science. He has participated in many academic and industrial research projects about semantic technologies and knowledge graphs. Since 2016, he has been teaching courses about semantic web and since 2021 also courses dedicated to knowledge graphs. He also serves as a scientific consultant for various organizations that work with knowledge graph technology.

Dieter Fensel is the chair of the Semantic Technology Institute Innsbruck at the University of Innsbruck's Department of Computer Science. He has written over 300 scientific publications, including books, journals and conference papers, and workshop contributions. As one of the pioneers of research in the Semantic Web, he co-founded major scientific events such as the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC) and the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC). His research interests currently focus on the development of knowledge graphs and various aspects of the knowledge graph lifecycle. He has successfully applied his research in industry by co-founding companies like seekda (now part of Kognitiv) and Onlim, which are active in conversational interfaces and knowledge graphs.
