Modeling Modern and Historical Data as a Knowledge Graph: ACase Study for Earthquake Data
摘要
Historical data are sparse and vague making their collection and analysis difficult. To come up with a methodology for handling such data, in this paper we elaborate on this problem by considering the requirements and challenges for building a Knowledge Graph that contains data about both modern and historical earthquakes. We discuss the requirements and challenges, and we report the main observations concerning uncertainties by analyzing the documentation of ancient earthquakes that hit the island of Crete. Afterwards, we analyze representation approaches and related ontologies and then we present a modeling approach that can tackle the requirements. We showcase the feasibility of the approach by implementing it using RDF and we share publicly the result.
