ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we explain what knowledge graphs are, how they relate to GeoAI research such as knowledge engineering and representation learning, discuss their value proposition for geography and the broader geosciences, outline application areas for knowledge graphs across domains, and introduce the KnowWhereGraph as an example of a geospatially centered, highly heterogeneous graph consisting of billions of graph statements extracted from 30 different data layers at the intersection between humans and the environment.
