Knowledge Graph for China’s Genealogy

Abstract

Genealogical knowledge graphs depict the relationships of family networks and the development of family histories. They can help researchers to analyze and understand genealogical data, search for genealogical roots, and explore the origins of a family more easily. However, the multi-type, multisource dynamic changes and specialized nature of genealogical data bring challenges to the development of contemporary knowledge graph models. Applying existing methods to genealogical data can result in problems of overlooking certain specialized vocabulary and dynamic properties such as personal experiences. In this paper, we propose a genealogical knowledge graph model GKGM that combines HAO intelligence (h uman intelligence + a rtificial intelligence + o rganizational intelligence) and ontology granularity division technology to address the above problems. Furthermore, a method of applying the model to construct genealogical knowledge graphs is demonstrated, and an experiment conducted on a real-world genealogical dataset verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the model.
