TL;DR

This paper presents a RESTful web service utilizing JSON Schema and JSON Meta Schema to facilitate the construction and visualization of knowledge graphs, aiding domain experts in data understanding and decision-making.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach combining REST architecture with JSON Schema technologies to build a web service for knowledge graph creation.

Findings

Enables semantic-rich network visualization

Supports the entire network lifecycle management

Improves data understanding for domain experts

Abstract

Data visualisation assists domain experts in understanding their data and helps them make critical decisions. Enhancing their cognitive insight essentially relies on the capability of combining domain-specific semantic information with concepts extracted out of the data and visualizing the resulting networks. Data scientists have the challenge of providing tools able to handle the overall network lifecycle. In this paper, we present how the combination of two powerful technologies namely the REST architecture style and JSON Schema/JSON Meta Schema enable data scientists to use a RESTful web service that permits the construction of knowledge graphs, one of the preferred representations of large and semantically rich networks.
