content: KGs Have a Long History and a Diversity of Definitions Download PDF Of late, it seems everywhere I turn some discussion or debate is taking place as to what a 'knowledge graph' is and how to define one. The semantic Web community not infrequently engages in such bursts of definition and vocabulary harangues. For a community ostensibly focused on 'semantics', definitions and terminology disputes sometimes seem all too common. Still, the interest in knowledge graphs (KGs) is quite real and represents an important visibility point for the semantic Web. For example, in the last year there have been major sessions or workshops on KGs at the major semantic technology conferences of WWW, ESWC, ISWC, and Semantics 2019, and special conferences in Dagstuhl, New York City (Columbia), China and Cuba, among others I have surely missed. Ongoing for the past month has been a lengthy discussion on what is a knowledge graph on the W3C's semantic Web mailing list. Google Scholar, as another example, now lists over 16,000 academic papers on knowledge graphs. These listings do not include the many individual blog and company posts on the subject. This blossoming of attention is great news. In tracing the lineage of the 'knowledge graph' term, many erroneously date it to 2012 when Google (some claim) "coined" it for its structured entity-attribute information, now a common view on its search results page (with Marie Curie being one of the first-cited examples [1]). Though Google's embrace has been important from a marketing and visibility viewpoint, the term 'knowledge graph' goes back to the 1970s, and the ideas behind a KG goes back even further. According to Pat Hayes [2], "The idea of representing, or at least displaying, knowledge as a graphical diagram (rather then as, say, a set of sentences) has a very old history. In its modern sense it goes back at least to 1885 (C S Peirce 'existential graph') and can probably be traced into medieval writings and earlier. (The Torah version …
