1. Introduction
1.1 Defining Knowledge Graphs (KGs)
A Knowledge Graph (KG) is a structured representation of information where entities (nodes) and their relationships (edges) are explicitly modeled to facilitate reasoning, semantic understanding, and knowledge discovery. Knowledge graphs are fundamental in modern artificial intelligence (AI) systems, data integration frameworks, and enterprise solutions because they encode complex interrelationships and provide context-aware reasoning capabilities.
The conceptual foundations of KGs stem from semantic networks, ontologies, and graph databases. Unlike traditional relational databases, which rely on structured tables and predefined schemas, KGs leverage flexible, graph-based structures that allow for more intuitive modeling of real-world knowledge. The key characteristics of a KG include:
With advancements in AI, knowledge graphs have evolved beyond simple entity-relation graphs to incorporate?temporal, probabilistic, multimodal, and federated architectures. This has?enhanced their capability to model real-world dynamics and handle uncertainty.
