A famous Italian historian, Carlo Ginzburg said,
“Man is an animal suspended in webs of significance he himself has spun.”

As researchers we aspire to build and preserve knowledge across space and
time…
We investigate, connect ideas and assert different arguments.
![Page 4: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
We bring knowledge to life in descriptive and analytical narratives which convey how people and things interconnect, their role in
both history and in the present, and how the world and human life changes.
![Page 5: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Progressing knowledge is a collaborative effort.
![Page 6: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
But when we translate our knowledge into data we hit problems.
![Page 7: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
As we use spreadsheets and databases, we abstract our knowledge in a way that loses meaning, context, and the connections that
our minds created.
![Page 8: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Networks of context are created by adding relations between things, or more precisely
processes.
![Page 9: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
When we present research in narratives the meaning can be ambiguous. Different
narratives, even on the same subject, are difficult to compare...
![Page 10: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
And some concepts need more than narratives to describe them.
![Page 11: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
These limitations affect our ability to build and reuse knowledge.
![Page 12: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Through ResearchSpace, researchers represent the complexity of the real world
by producing data with context.
![Page 13: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The artificial conventions of databases and spreadsheets are replaced by a knowledge
map, a constellation of people, organisations, places, events, objects,
ideas, and practices, which is grown over time and is designed to incorporate and
share researchers’ beliefs and arguments.
![Page 14: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Researchers can, through a range of tools, continually understand, interpret and
expand these networks of knowledge, contributing their discoveries
collaboratively.
![Page 15: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
As well as visualising the knowledge map, ResearchSpace generates views of the data
including maps, timelines, diagrams and graphs, all of which can be used for presentation in semantic narratives.
![Page 16: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
As we write narratives in ResearchSpace we are continually connected to the knowledge map and the underlying
networks of research activity and data.
![Page 17: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Within ResearchSpace, data, and all its connections, is not locked into a system. Research is embedded in an open data
format which preserves contextual meaning.
![Page 18: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Computers can understand and process this enriched data allowing future
researchers access to previous chains of evidence, beliefs and arguments.
![Page 19: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
As we build knowledge in ResearchSpace, we can assert perspectives, contrasts and
contradictions.
![Page 20: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
….and by collaboratively connecting people, with different experience and backgrounds, we can ensure that our
evolving knowledge and understanding of reality can be better reflected in a digital
space.

“Nothing that has ever happened should be regarded as lost for history. “
Walter Benjamin

Semantics
![Page 23: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Semantic Web
BERNERS-LEE, HENDLER and LASSILA Scientific American: Feature Article: The Semantic Web: May 2001
“...if properly designed, the Semantic Web can assist the evolution of human knowledge as a whole.”
“The challenge of the Semantic Web, therefore, is to provide a language that expresses both data and rules for reasoning about the data and that allows rules from any existing knowledge-representation system to be exported onto the Web.”
![Page 24: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Onto-epistemological
“...is the conscious act to understand the doing, the making of a thing...some production you see, some of it is completely hidden” - Clare Twomey

The Way of the World
Many things and processes cannot be abstracted to simple rules and laws.
The world is a constantly changing and complex.
![Page 27: Reshaping the Knowledge Graph by Connecting Researchers ...](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022052106/628752e8e0bb5d271348a775/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Meaning and History Changes
What is its significance today?
What processes were involved in its creation
What was its original function?
What does it tell us about the past, present, and future?
