REDI: Towards knowledge graph-powered scholarly information management and research networking

Abstract

Academic data management has become an increasingly challenging task as research evolves over time. Essential tasks such as information retrieval and research networking have turned into extremely difficult operations due to an ever-growing number of researchers and scientific articles. Numerous initiatives have emerged in the IT environments to address this issue, especially focused on web technologies. Although those approaches have individually provided solutions for diverse problems, they still can not offer integrated knowledge bases nor flexibility to exploit adequately this information. In this article, we present REDI, a Linked Data-powered framework for academic knowledge management and research networking, which introduces a new perspective of integration. REDI combines information from multiple sources into a consolidated knowledge base through state-of-the-art procedures and leverages semantic web standards to represent the information. Moreover, REDI takes advantage of such knowledge for data visualisation and analysis, which ultimately improves and simplifies many activities including research networking.

Knowledge visualisation and strategic decision-making outcomes in small and medium-sized enterprises

“…According to [8] and [36], employing KV has many benefits and solves several problems within organizations. First, KV offers a solution to the information overload problem [46,56] by compressing a large amount of knowledge in an analytical framework or figure [57]. KV enhances decision-making processes by transforming massive amount of row data and information into accessible forms of knowledge that boost each step during decision-making processes through the effective graphics and diagrams [2,4].…”

Gestión De La Información a Través De Espacios Virtuales De La Universidad Uleam, Año 2022

“…La gestión de datos institucionales y académicos ha mostrado evolución en el tiempo, gracias a que existen numerosos programas informáticos que apoyan el trabajo y organización de datos, la recuperación de información, creación de redes de investigación, entre otros aspectos. Además, muchos de ellos contribuyen a solucionar problemas, agilizar procedimientos e incluso flexibilizar adecuadamente la información (Ortiz et al, 2020).…”

A Scholarly Knowledge Graph-Powered Dashboard: Implementation and User Evaluation

“…For the wider application of this relatively novel technology, it is necessary to make it more appealing to research communities in various academic areas (Sabou et al, 2018 ; Auer et al, 2020 ). Therefore, user-friendly interfaces for knowledge graphs are continuously developed (Portenoy et al, 2017 ; Vargas et al, 2019 ; Ortiz Vivar et al, 2020 ; Kurteva and De Ribaupierre, 2021 ), which take into account mechanisms of human information processing (Plumbley and Abdallah, 2006 ). Previous research stressed the importance of visual interfaces which employ principles of computer science, graphic design, and human-technology interaction (Cavaller, 2021 ).…”
