On the Creation of Knowledge Graphs: A Report on Best Practices and their Future

Abstract

Knowledge Graphs have an important role in organizing and making information more broadly available to people and machines. While many knowledge graphs have been developed, the approaches used to build them can differ substantially. The elusiveness of standards or best practices in this area poses a substantial challenge to the knowledge engineer that wants to maximize their discovery and reuse, as dictated by the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. In this chapter, we define a set of best practices to constructing FAIR knowledge graphs.
