Abstract
AbstractKnowledge Graphs (KGs) present factual information about domains of interest. They are used in a wide variety of applications and in different domains, serving as powerful backbones for organizing and extracting knowledge from complex data. In both industry and academia, a variety of platforms have been proposed for managing Knowledge Graphs. To use the full potential of KGs within these platforms, it is essential to have proper provenance management to understand where certain information in a KG stems from. This plays an important role in increasing trust and supporting open science principles. It enables reproducibility and updatability of KGs. In this paper, we propose a framework for provenance management of KG generation within a web portal. We present how our framework captures, stores, and retrieves provenance information. Our provenance representation is aligned with the standardized W3C Provenance Ontology. Through our framework, we can rerun the KG generation process over the same or different source data. With this, we support four applications: reproducibility, altered rerun, undo operation, and provenance retrieval. In summary, our framework aligns with the core principles of open science. By promoting transparency and reproducibility, it enhances the reliability and trustworthiness of research outcomes.
