Towards Knowledge Graphs Validation Through Weighted Knowledge Sources

Knowledge graphs (KGs) have shown to be an important asset of large companies, which provide correct and reliable knowledge. To do so a critical task is knowledge validation, which measures whether statements from KGs are semantically correct and correspond to the so-called "real"world. We propose a Knowledge Graph Validation Framework.

What?
Weighted Knowledge Sources
Weighted knowledge sources are data sources that have different weights (or degree of
importance) for different application scenarios.

Which KG is best for me?

● Quality - ﬁtness for use
● Whether data complies to the user's need
● Dependent on tasks

What?
Knowledge Graphs
Knowledge Graphs are very large semantic nets that integrate various and heterogeneous
information sources to represent knowledge about certain domains of discourse.

Knowledge Graphs Validation
Knowledge Graphs Validation task aims measuring whether statements from KGs are
semantically correct and correspond to the so-called "real" world.

A triple: University of Innsbruck City of Innsbruck

What?
Towards Knowledge Graphs Validation through Weighted
Knowledge Sources
Compute a conﬁdence score for every triple (or statement) and instance in KGs. The computed score is
based on ﬁnding the same instances across different weighted knowledge sources and comparing their
features.

Input: The user has two options, a) to provide a SPARQL endpoint where to fetch the data from, or b) to
load a dataset in a Turtle format.
