arXiv:2506. 01232v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deriving OWL ontologies from relational database schemas supports semantic interoperability and downstream tasks such as knowledge graph population, ontology-based data access, graph-based learning, and automated reasoning.
arXiv:2607. 14494v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Complex knowledge base question answering (KBQA) is commonly approached through either information retrieval over a question-specific subgraph or semantic parsing into an executable logical form.
arXiv:2508. 01815v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Text-to-SPARQL maps natural-language questions to executable SPARQL queries over RDF knowledge graphs.
RENSA is a federated SPARQL query generation framework that extends SPARQL Builder Metadata to include class and authority information, enabling precise source selection and semantic constraint inference without runtime ASK queries. The generated metadata profiles occupy less than 1% of the original dataset triples, providing storage‑efficient insights. Evaluation on the LargeRDFBench benchmark shows that RENSA matches state‑of‑the‑art source selection performance while eliminating runtime communication overhead.

The paper introduces EXYGEN, a framework that enables conversational access to large knowledge graphs by combining VoID descriptions, ShEx schemas, retrieved triples, and example question‑query pairs in a retrieval‑augmented generation pipeline. On the SciQA benchmark, this approach achieves an exact‑match score of 0.419 without fine‑tuning any large language model, and shows that larger general‑purpose LLMs can outperform smaller code‑specialized ones when provided sufficient context. To scale metadata generation for very large KGs, the authors propose a predicate‑coverage‑aware parallel graph sampling strategy that preserves structural diversity, reduces runtime by over 80× on OpenCitations Meta and GESIS, and is the only tractable method for obtaining complete metadata on ORKG.
arXiv:2606. 05415v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Real-world data spans tables, documents, and semi-structured files with implicit semantics.
arXiv:2608. 14228v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Life science knowledge graphs make large collections of structured data available through SPARQL, but each resource uses its own schema, identifiers, and links.
Research data repositories are essential infrastructure for scientific inquiry and for ensuring that datasets follow FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principles. However, repos...
arXiv:2608.23263v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The FAIR Digital Object (FDO) framework mandates that metadata attribute values be expressed as persistent identifiers (PIDs) wherever possible, to pro...
arXiv:2607. 02116v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autonomous AI agents increasingly depend on external knowledge stores, yet most retrieval pipelines provide relevance without durable guarantees of provenance, version identity, integrity, traceability, or point-in-time reconstruction.
