Summary
Modern information systems struggle to connect related data across organizations, making it difficult to solve complex national challenges that require insights from multiple sources. Knowledge graphs have emerged in many domains of science and technology as a powerful means of integrating, structuring, and mining information to extract new knowledge. Recognizing the importance of this paradigm, the National Science Foundation initiated the Prototype Open Knowledge Network program to build a prototype version of an integrated data and knowledge infrastructure called the Open Knowledge Network.
