From Queries to Narratives: Cultural Heritage Data Stories for Knowledge Graph Exploration and Quality Assessment

The paper introduces data stories as narrative documents that combine explanatory text, images, and executable SPARQL queries with visualized results to make cultural‑heritage knowledge graphs more accessible. It describes how these stories guide users through unfamiliar graphs, create reproducible narratives, and uncover hidden data‑quality issues. The authors present LODEON, an authoring platform with Sparnatural and AI‑assisted tools, and report early positive feedback from seminars and workshops.

Rebuilding a Field's Open-Problem Catalog from the Literature: A Two-Layer Knowledge Graph, and Why Status Must Stay Proposed

The paper presents a system that transforms open‑problem listings in research fields into a structured, queryable knowledge graph. It combines a hand‑curated problem layer with an evidence layer derived from bibliographic data, linked through typed, provenance‑carrying connections. The authors evaluate the approach on database and AI problem catalogs, showing that the new graph can answer all previously answerable queries and additional ones about recent work, but also reveal limitations in automated status judgments, leading to a design recommendation that status changes must be proposed with evidence and reviewed by humans.

Narrative Knowledge Weaver: Narrative-Centric Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning for Long-Form Text Understanding

arXiv:2606. 05724v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Long-form narrative QA requires reasoning over evolving story worlds rather than isolated passages: answers may depend on earlier goals, changing character states, social relations, causal triggers, temporal position, and later consequences.

ArcRAG: Agentic Compositional Retrieval over Knowledge Graphs

ArcRAG is a retrieval-augmented generation system that operates over knowledge graphs without relying on construction‑specific schemas or relation names. It dynamically induces a query‑local graph interface at inference time, plans multi‑hop traversals, and executes them as Cypher queries. Experiments on MuSiQue, HotpotQA, and TriviaQA show that ArcRAG remains effective across both schema‑guided and open‑information‑extraction graph constructions, demonstrating that retrieval can be construction‑agnostic.

Build2SPARQL: A Large-Scale Text-to-SPARQL Benchmark Dataset for Building Knowledge Graph Querying

Build2SPARQL is a large-scale benchmark dataset for translating natural-language questions into SPARQL queries over building knowledge graphs. The dataset is generated by a KG‑grounded pipeline that produces 6,136 executable SPARQL queries and 30,680 corresponding natural-language questions across six query-pattern families and five vocabulary registers, covering 201 building KGs. Human validation shows high semantic fidelity, naturalness, and operational plausibility, and retrieval‑augmented evaluation demonstrates significant accuracy gains for open‑weight language models.

GraphRAGProv: GraphRAG Meets How-Provenance

GraphRAGProv is an architecture that combines GraphRAG with how‑provenance by executing SPARQL queries over source‑grounded RDF graphs to compute answers and their provenance polynomials. The polynomials record which statement occurrences were used and how they were combined, linking each occurrence to its source text so users can verify the extraction and query process. An interactive demo evaluated 400 cases from two multi‑hop QA benchmarks, uncovering extraction and query errors even when the final answer was correct.
