Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG)

The Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) enables researchers to create, share, and reuse research knowledge in a structured and machine-readable format. ORKG allows researchers to describe their research contributions, such as papers, datasets, and methods, using a standardized vocabulary and ontology. This enables the creation of a knowledge graph that can be queried and analyzed to identify relationships and patterns in research outputs. The platform is designed to be domain-agnostic and can be used across various disciplines.
