Description

This work introduces GeoChangesQA, a novel spatiotemporal QA dataset for historical geospatial knowledge. We first developed the Historical County Boundaries Ontology (HCB-O) to create this dataset. Then, we leveraged geospatial historical data spanning regions in the United States from 1630 to 2000 to populate the novel Historical County
Boundaries Knowledge Graph (HCB-KG). Subsequently, we developed a semi-automated procedure for generating questions, GeoSPARQL queries, and corresponding answers over HCB-KG by leveraging subgraph and query template extraction techniques. Through this method, we automatically generated 8, 900 question-query-answer triples.

The code used to create this dataset is available here:  github repo

The knowledge graph (rdf dumps) which the queries refer to is available here: DOI 10.5281/zenodo.11508198  //  Knowledge Graph

Series information (English)

Columns Description:

  • Subgraph ID: Unique Subgraph type id
  • SparqlQuery: The SPARQL query
  • Questions: The Question after replacing Uris_match with template variables
  • Sample Answer: One sample answer to the SPARQL query

 

Question_Templates:

  • Subgraph ID: Unique Subgraph type id
  • Graph: The graph schema for every Subgraph ID
  • Questions Templates: A list with every question template

Notes (English)

New Version4 Updates: 

  • More queries-questions-answers pairs were produced. The dataset contains around 8900 examples
  • Corrections on question templates
  • Update KG
