Abstract

Quechua language and Quechua knowledge gather millions of people around the world, especially in several countries in South America. Unfortunately, there are only a few resources available to Quechua communities, and they are mainly stored in PDF format. In this paper, the Quechua Knowledge Graph is envisioned and generated as an effort to get Quechua closer to the Quechua communities, researchers, and technology developers. Currently, there are 553636 triples stored in the Quechua Knowledge Graph, which is accessible on the Web, retrievable by machines, and curated by users. To showcase the deployment of the Quechua Knowledge Graph, use cases and future work are described.
