An interview about the Open Research Knowledge Graph – or ORKG for short – with Dr Anna-Lena Lorenz. She works in research and development at TIB, where she is responsible for community building for the ORKG. In this interview, she talks about what exactly her job entails.

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.

An der TIB nutzen wir das Open-Source-Forschungsinformationssystem VIVO für Forschungsprofile. Wir haben es um die Möglichkeit erweitert, Mastodon-IDs zu ergänzen und somit ihre Mastodon-Profile zu verifizieren.

Discourse takes various modalities, structures, and mediums. Among the commonly experienced mediums are face-to-face chats, telephone conversations, television news broadcasts, radio news, talk shows, lectures, books, and scientific articles. Intriguingly, each of these forms of discourse follow a logical structural nuance depending on the medium. The advancement of the digital age including social media communication has further led to expansion of logical discourse structures. These include blog-posts, emails, websites, review sites of products, hotels, restaurants or movies, and, finally, social media streams such as Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, #slack channels, Q&A portals such as Quora or Stack Overflow, etc., with a growing list as new mediums of communication over the World Wide Web are invented.
Large and varied streams of natural discourse only mean an even larger body of research questions remains to be explored!
Compared to the dramatic transformations of other publishing and communication domains, scholarly communication has not changed much over the last decades and centuries. To what degree are researchers satisfied with the current situation? In order to explore this topic, TIB launched a survey on information flows in science.

We present how the ORKG can organize information about the COVID-19 basic reproduction number as published in numerous articles and illustrate the benefits and possibilities of structured scholarly knowledge.

New forms of knowledge exchange in research: Using a dynamic knowledge graph, various research ideas, approaches, methods and results are to be connected and presented in a machine-readable form. In this way, completely new connections of knowledge can be revealed and researchers have easier access the state-of-the-art in a certain field.
