Abstract

The use of knowledge graphs to visualise open research data is analysed. It explores the background, development and levels of application of knowledge graphs. A methodology for data management and analysis is presented using knowledge graphs, semantic vocabularies and ontologies such as DDI-RDF and DataCite Ontology. Two sets of open research data related to musicology and earth and environmental sciences were processed. These data were located in the e-CienciaDatos and CORA repositories respectively. The aim was to contrast the handling and visualisation of textual and numerical data in order to identify their respective analysis variables. It was found that the visualisation of the visualisation of data through the use of knowledge graphs allows for the intuitive and interactive identification of patterns in the data, which refer to an interaction between its various creators and actors. Knowledge graphs are seen as a tool that allows the visualisation of large amounts of data, because in the era of artificial intelligence and big data, they can be a method for identifying complex behaviours that serve as a latent decision-making tool.
