This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to knowledge graphs, which have gained significant attention from both industry and academia due to their ability to integrate and manage diverse, dynamic, large-scale data collections. The authors motivate and contrast various graph-based data models and query languages used for knowledge graphs, discuss the roles of schema, identity, and context, and explain how knowledge can be represented and extracted using deductive and inductive techniques. They also cover methods for creating, enriching, assessing quality, refining, and publishing knowledge graphs. The paper includes an overview of prominent open and enterprise knowledge graphs, their applications, and future research directions. The goal is to provide a broad and accessible introduction to knowledge graphs for researchers and practitioners new to the field. The paper is structured into several sections, covering data models, schema, identity, context, deductive and inductive techniques, creation and enrichment, quality assessment, refinement, publication, and an overview of existing knowledge graphs.This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to knowledge graphs, which have gained significant attention from both industry and academia due to their ability to integrate and manage diverse, dynamic, large-scale data collections.
