An Approach to Constructing a Knowledge Graph Based on Korean Open-Government Data

Abstract

A data platform collecting the whole metadata held by government agencies and a knowledge graph showing the relationship between the collected open-government data are proposed in this paper. By practically applying the data platform and the knowledge graph to the public sector in Korea, three improvements were expected: (1) enhancing user accessibility across open-government data; (2) allowing users to acquire relevant data as well as desired data with a single query; and (3) enabling data-driven decision-making. In particular, the barriers for citizens to acquire the necessary data have been greatly reduced by using the proposed knowledge graph, which is considered to be important for data-driven decision-making. The reliability and feasibility of constructing a metadata-based open-data platform and a knowledge graph are estimated to be considerably high as the proposed approach is applied to a real service of the public sector in Korea.

Revealing security vulnerabilities of chinese local government websites through topology analysis and knowledge graph

“…Xiong Z et al proposed a technology to automatically build knowledge graphs, using topic crawlers to obtain relevant information on government websites and build corresponding knowledge graphs [5]. Lee J et al created a knowledge graph data platform for the Korean government, built based on metadata, to improve the convenience for citizens to obtain data and promote more scientific (data-driven) government decision-making [6]. Liang Y et al used the random walk method to construct a network and analyzed the network structural characteristics of two popular global and local websites [7].…”

Data Usage and the Legal Stability of Transactions for the Commercial Operation of Autonomous Vessels Based on Digital Ownership in Korean Civil Law

“…Although their area of interest was higher education, they argued that current data protection regulations are insufficiently concerned with the data's use, and that the big data-centric paradigm needs to address critical data privacy issues immediately. Lee and Park proposed a data platform for collecting government agencies' metadata to enhance user accessibility and data-driven decision-making [20].…”

“…Thus, from the perspective of Locke's theory of property rights as a background to the broad perspective of the above-mentioned imperialist laissez-faire ideas, data exist within the scope of ownership, depending on the value derived from nonphysical activities [9,10]. However, there are inevitable limitations to data ownership rights because of the need to consider public welfare, the rule of law, and the values upheld by the Constitution of Korea; these can affect alter the applicability of restrictions, acceptance, valuation compensation, and criteria setting of intangible data [20]. Furthermore, from a consultative perspective, MASS data could be interpreted as non-exclusionary and noncompetitive, which might place them outside the category of things that can be managed under Article 98 of the Civil Act of the Republic of Korea [52].…”
