Semantic units: organizing knowledge graphs into semantically meaningful units of representation.
Lars VogtTobias KuhnHoehndorf RobertPublished in: Journal of biomedical semantics (2024)
Semantic units, applicable in RDF/OWL and labeled property graphs, offer support for making statements about statements and facilitate graph-alignment, subgraph-matching, knowledge graph profiling, and for management of access restrictions to sensitive data. Additionally, we argue that organizing the graph into semantic units promotes the differentiation of ontological and discursive information, and that it also supports the differentiation of multiple frames of reference within the graph.
