The 2nd ORKG Curation Grant Program – Stories of Machine-Actionable Research Contributions

In 2022, TIB awarded its ORKG Curation Grants for the second time. 10 researchers from several disciplines made continuous entries in the ORKG in their field of research and contributed significant research issues to the ORKG. In this blog post, we introduce two of the them and show how they have worked with the ORKG and how their research has benefited from the ORKG.

NLP Should Go Beyond Commonsense Knowledge

NLP technology is all-pervasive for commonsense knowledge. There are many causes for this. Most of the internet and its data is about commonsense knowledge and world events, so NLP technology is developed over the data domain that is most easily available. But what about the scholarly domain with its rapidly growing body of knowledge produced worldwide? These are those specialized domains of knowledge in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), all of which open up countless doors for NLP.

The opportunities are endless!

Summary of the 1st ORKG Curation Grant Program

In 2021, we started our first curation grant program. 9 researchers from various fields of science, engineering and computer science earned a grant to push their field’s open science efforts and curate ORKG content. With over 150 Comparisons and 12 Reviews created, the program was an overwhelming success. But not only the grantees learned something: Due to the close contact to the development team, we got valuable feedback that in parts already made its way into today’s version of the ORKG and will be a basis for constant improvement.
