Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-981-99-8088-8_1 Abstract: The Polyglot Asian Medicine system hosts a research database of Asian traditional and herbal medicines, represented as a knowledge graph and implemented in a Neo4j graph database system. The current coverage of the database is mainly traditional Chinese medicines with some Malay and Indonesian data, with plans to extend to other Southeast Asian communities. The knowledge graph currently links the medicine names in the original and English languages, to alternate names and scientific names, to plant/animal parts they are made from, to literary and historical sources they were mentioned in, to geographic areas they were associated with,...
Article: Knowledge graph visualization interface for digital heritage collections
Khoo, C.S.G., Ng, S.G., Chan, C.F., Stanley-Baker, M., Tan, E.A.L., & Cheng, W.N. (2024). Knowledge graph visualization interface for digital heritage collections: Design issues and recommendations. Information Technology and Libraries, 43(1). https://doi.org/10.5860/ital.v43i1.16719 Abstract: Digital heritage portal interfaces are generally similar to digital library and search engine interfaces in displaying search results as a list of brief metadata records. The knowledge organization and search result display of these systems are item-centric, with little support for identifying relationships between items. This paper proposes a knowledge graph system and visualization interface as a promising solution for digital heritage systems to support users in browsing related items, understanding the relationships between items, and synthesizing a narrative on an issue. The paper discusses design issues for the knowledge graph, graph database, and graph visualization, and offers recommendations based on the authors’ experience in developing three knowledge graph systems for archive and digital humanities resources...
