Overview
SciKG is a rich knowledge graph designed for scientific purpose (currently including computer science (CS)), consisting of concepts, experts, and papers. The concepts and their relationships are extracted from ACM computing classification system, supplemented with the definition of each concept from, e.g., Wikipedia. We further use AMiner to associate top ranked experts and most relevant papers to each concept. Each expert has position, affiliation, research interests and also the link connecting to AMiner (for further rich information if necessary) and each paper contains meta information such as title, authors, abstract, publication venue, and year.
SciKG can be used to better understand the dynamics and evolutionary of the computer science field, and help search and recommendation of experts and publications in CS.
