SoftwareKG

SoftwareKG is a knowledge graph that contains software mentions of 51,165 articles from PLoS that are tagged with the keyword "Social Science". The software mentions are extracted by use of an automated pipeline. more than 133,000 software mention were identified. The software mentions were then linked by use of their potential abbreviations and the DBpedia. The identified software mentions are then structured in the SoftwareKG together with meta data about the articles. The data is represented in an RDF/S model by using established W3C standards and vocabularies.
