New knowledge graph organizes 150K+ research datasets for policy analysis

Researchers have developed a knowledge graph to organize over 150,000 research datasets within the Harvard Dataverse, linking them to keywords, publications, and locations. This graph identifies 7,654 policy-relevant datasets, with a focus on elections, legislatures, and government administration. The study highlights challenges in place resolution and proposes AI-driven metadata enrichment and entity resolution as solutions, noting a bias towards American, city-level data. AI

IMPACT Enhances discoverability of policy-relevant research data through AI-powered knowledge graphs and metadata enrichment.
