Geospatial AI, Dataverse Metadata, and the Study of Place-Based Government
Read the original on arXiv AI →The paper presents a knowledge graph built from Harvard Dataverse’s public data, linking 102,650 datasets to 215,985 nodes and 528,003 edges that include keywords, publications, subjects, journals, and locations. About 43,991 datasets contain geospatial metadata, and 7,654 are identified as policy‑relevant, with elections and legislatures forming the largest cluster. The authors highlight the challenge of place resolution—disconnected nodes representing the same location—and propose the graph as a testbed for AI‑driven metadata enrichment and entity resolution, noting a bias toward American city‑level data.
