Vladimir Batagelj, Toma\v{z} Pisanski, Iztok Savnik, Ana Slavec, Nino Ba\v{s}i\'c

TL;DR
This paper explores the relationship between networks and knowledge graphs, proposing RDF as a formalization that can describe general networks and facilitate network analysis.
Contribution
It clarifies how knowledge graphs relate to networks and suggests RDF as a versatile format for describing and analyzing various network types.
Findings
Knowledge graphs are a special type of network.
RDF formalizes knowledge graphs for the Semantic Web.
RDF solutions can extend to general network descriptions.
Abstract
The relationship between the concepts of network and knowledge graph is explored. A knowledge graph can be considered a special type of network. When using a knowledge graph, various networks can be obtained from it, and network analysis procedures can be applied to them. RDF is a formalization of the knowledge graph concept for the Semantic Web, but some of its solutions are also extensible to a format for describing general networks.
