The opening session will set the stage by framing the project’s mission: addressing the fragmentation, diversity, and disorganization of scientific knowledge that slows discovery and limits the insights researchers and decision-makers can draw from existing work. Building on this, Thanasis Vergoulis (ARC) will explain how the project tackles these challenges by helping domain experts and knowledge-management specialists collaborate to translate community knowledge into standardized, interoperable Scientific Knowledge Graphs, and by establishing an adaptable ecosystem that improves access to scientific information, discovery and querying, and research reproducibility.
