Pattern-based Visualization of Knowledge Graphs
This work addresses visualization challenges for users of knowledge graphs, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing ontology pattern frameworks.
The paper tackles the problem of visualizing knowledge graphs by introducing an approach based on ontology design patterns, which reduces cognitive load for users and guides exploration through thematic paths.
We present a novel approach to knowledge graph visualization based on ontology design patterns. This approach relies on OPLa (Ontology Pattern Language) annotations and on a catalogue of visual frames, which are associated with foundational ontology design patterns. We demonstrate that this approach significantly reduces the cognitive load required to users for visualizing and interpreting a knowledge graph and guides the user in exploring it through meaningful thematic paths provided by ontology patterns.
