Aggour"],"abstract":"The relatively recent adoption of Knowledge Graphs as an enabling technology\nin multiple high-profile artificial intelligence and cognitive applications has\nled to growing interest in the Semantic Web technology stack. Many\nsemantics-related tools, however, are focused on serving experts with a deep\nunderstanding of semantic technologies. For example, triplification of\nrelational data is available but there is no open source tool that allows a\nuser unfamiliar with OWL/RDF to import data into a semantic triple store in an\nintuitive manner. Further, many tools require users to have a working\nunderstanding of SPARQL to query data. Casual users interested in benefiting\nfrom the power of Knowledge Graphs have few tools available for exploring,\nquerying, and managing semantic data. We present SemTK, the Semantics Toolkit,\na user-friendly suite of tools that allow both expert and non-expert semantics\nusers convenient ingestion of relational data, simplified query generation, and\nmore. The exploration of ontologies and instance data is performed through\nSPARQLgraph, an intuitive web-based user interface in SemTK understandable and\nnavigable by a lay user. The open source version of SemTK is available at\nhttp://semtk.research.ge.com","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1710.11531v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.11531v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"semtk-an-ontology-first-open-source-semantic","repo_url":"https://github.com/ge-semtk/semtk","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"knowledge-graphs","task_name":"Knowledge Graphs"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
