Climate change is a complex and challenging issue, yet most of the work going on to address it is happening in silos. To take action on climate change a new method for sharing knowledge, learning, connecting, and collaborating is needed. Climate Action Knowledge Graph, a knowledge graph that provides a means to connect scattered, siloed information, experiences, and ideas could be the way forward.
Climate change is a complex and challenging issue, yet most of the work going on to address it is happening in silos. To take action on climate change a new method for sharing knowledge, learning, connecting, and collaborating is needed. Climate Action Knowledge Graph, a knowledge graph that provides a means to connect scattered, siloed information, experiences, and ideas could be the way forward.
Multiple websites using diverse content management systems are currently distributing data and information on climate change. Climate Action Knowledge Graph provides a shared solution for connecting this data. Further, it could potentially support a single point of access pathway to high quality, interconnected data, and information. The single-point of access facilitated by the Climate Action Knowledge Graph would enable decision-makers, domain experts, and others to examine and connect relevant information.
However, poor classification and description of the content found on websites, knowledge-sharing platforms, and databases limit the search potential and ability to link related content. Developing and deploying taxonomies, ontologies, and associated knowledge graphs and standards, which help knowledge providers, provide better service within their websites can help overcome the challenge.
The Climate Action Knowledge Graph can be used to create a network where users can view thousands of documents from different areas and publishers to find relevant, credible resources quickly. Besides, applications, including those leveraging artificial intelligence, can be built on top of the graph to integrate and create new knowledge.
A graph that connects resources and knowledge across silos and communities working on climate action offers new opportunities to learn share and collaborate. By connecting resources and people in different fields, exchange and cooperation are promoted on a non-virtual level. This will help to take action on climate change within the timescales needed.
