Abstract

Many methodologies and platforms for creating, deploying, and defining the manner of knowledge graphs are available. For this paper, we single out the platform, Wikibase. Using Wikibase comes with many advantages: out-of-the-box software for de-referencing, a convenient user interface, a consistent way to track and record provenance and lineage, and the ability to execute SPARQL queries against an RDF representation of the knowledge graph. However, the provenance mechanism and the exact nature of the structure of the Wikibase representation can complicate developing a principled schema for knowledge graphs, as well as the approach to the materialization of the data for upload to the platform. In this paper, we detail the methodology used to design, implement, and deploy the Enslaved.Org Hub, a nationally recognized knowledge graph for documenting the peoples of the historical slave trade.
