Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce the basic concept of a knowledge graph (KG). While a knowledge graph seems to be a very simple way of representing information, it turns out to be quite powerful and is almost a lingua franca of sorts between humans and machines. On the one hand, knowledge graphs, if constructed properly, contain much of the useful information that can be found in ‘natural language’ documents like newswire or even social media. On the other hand, machines can process knowledge graphs in a variety of ways, leading to applications and breakthroughs in areas like semantic search, question answering, entity resolution, and representation learning.
