      <title>Research Observatory: Knowledge Graphs enabling FAIR research infrastructures (24 Jun 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style=""&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font color="#000000"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;font color="#000000" face="Aptos, sans-serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Knowledge Graphs enabling FAIR research infrastructures&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
by &lt;a href="/KORO-speakers#rsiebes" target="_blank"&gt;Ronald Siebes&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=""&gt;The presentation opens with a brief overview of Semantic Web technology and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable)&amp;nbsp;principles. To illustrate the application, Ronald dives into various Dutch funded projects where&amp;nbsp; Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are an enabling component to achiever FAIR research infrastructures for Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;KGs, in this case, contain metadata formulated in standardized schemas and vocabularies about datasets, workflows, software and tools, access policies and licenses, publications, variables etc. The challenge is not so much from a technical perspective, but from a social perspective: which vocabularies are the best candidates for a consensus on meaning for concepts in the various SSH domains? What are the Middle Ages? What are the geo coordinates for the bounding box of the "Lambeth" district in 1768? What does "around 18th century" mean?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other challenges will be discussed: How can we annotate restricted data? How to annotate software so we can deploy it automatically in a Virtual Research Environment?&lt;/p&gt;
