Answering Who/When, What, How, Why through Constructing Data Graph, Information Graph, Knowledge Graph and Wisdom Graph

Abstract

Knowledge graphs have been widely adopted, in large part owing to their schema-less nature. It enables knowledge graphs to grow seamlessly and allows for new relationships and entities as needed. Natural language questions are the most intuitive way of formulating an information need. People can formulate questions to express their information needs. Natural language questions as a query language present an ideal compromise between keyword and structured querying. Questions can be used to express complex information needs that cannot be expressed as keywords without a significant loss in structure and semantics. Knowledge graph has abundant natural semantics and can contain various and more complete information. Its expression mechanism is closer to natural language. We propose to clarify the expression of knowledge graph as a whole. We use knowledge graph to solve the Five Ws problems respectively which are guided by interrogative words such as who/when, what, how and why. We also propose to specify knowledge graph in a progressive manner as four basic forms including data graph, information graph, knowledge graph and wisdom graph.
