Microsoft Academic Knowledge Graph

The Microsoft Academic Knowledge Graph (MAKG) is a large RDF data set with over eight billion triples with information about scientific publications and related entities, such as authors, institutions, journals, and fields of study. The data set is based on the Microsoft Academic Graph and licensed under the Open Data Attributions license.

The MAKG is used as an external data set in the CompetencyKG application to retrieve additional information about competencies. For a given competency, we retrieve publications (and corresponding authors) that mention it. In metaphactory, this is realised with SPARQL queries to the endpoint of the MAKG http://makg.org/sparql.
