RT Journal Article T1 From Genesis to Maturity: Managing Knowledge Graph Ecosystems Through Life Cycles A1 Geisler, Sandra A1 Cappiello, Cinzia A1 Celino, Irene A1 Chaves Fraga, David A1 Dimou, Anastasia A1 Iglesias-Molina, Ana A1 Lenzerini, Maurizio A1 Rula, Anisa A1 Van Assche, Dylan A1 Welten, Sascha A1 Vidal, Maria-Esther AB Knowledge graphs (KGs) play a crucial role in the integration and organization of heterogeneous data and knowledge, enabling advanced data analytics and decision-making across various industries. This vision paper addresses critical challenges in managing KGs, emphasizing their relevance in integrating information from disparate sources. We propose the concept of knowledge graph ecosystems and life cycles to systematically manage tasks, e.g., dataintegration, standardization, continuous updates, efficient querying, and provenance tracking. By adopting our approach, organizations can enhance the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of KGs, thus improving knowledge management, enabling the extraction of valuable insights, and ensuring transparency and accountability.
