Global Network on Large-Scale, Cross-domain and Multilingual Open Knowledge Graphs (GOBLIN)

On 15th October 2024, we kicked off the GOBLIN COST Action (Global Network on Large-Scale, Cross-domain and Multilingual Open Knowledge Graphs) and it will run for 4 year (till 14 Oct 2028). URL from COST website

COST Actions are networks of researchers and innovators and they are designed to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing in a wide range of scientific and technological fields.

This COST Action consists of 5 working groups:

  1. Knowledge Graphs Engineering
  2. Knowledge Graphs Management
  3. Knowledge Graph-aware Services and Methods
  4. Use Cases and Applications
  5. Dissemination

I will be leading the Knowledge Graph Engineering Working Group.

Description of the Project

WHAT: The ultimate goal of the Action is to increase and enhance the public open knowledge available in Europe and beyond. The aim is to provide a large-scale, high quality, cross-domain and multilingual knowledge graph technology that is free to use, reuse, and redistribute.

HOW: By bringing people and communities interested in knowledge graphs technologies to work together on topics related to knowledge graphs engineering, knowledge graphs management and knowledge graphs utilization.

WHY: To align and consolidate the research results on open knowledge graphs, and strengthen the links between the involved scientific communities and public and industrial stakeholders. This will result in a comprehensive, open, multilingual and structured knowledge resources. Such resources can aid the creation of innovative businesses and services that deliver social and commercial value.

FOR WHOM: For scientific communities and public and industrial stakeholders, who develop open knowledge graph solutions for domains, such as cultural heritage, food and agriculture, life sciences, and news and media.

BY WHOM: A network consisting of researchers and innovators affiliated with academic institutes, enterprises, open knowledge networks and initiatives with complementary research and/or business focus and expertise in knowledge technologies.
