KG-Buddhism: The Chinese Knowledge Graph on Buddhism

摘要

One of the most important elements in human society is religion, which provides moralities to help regulate human behaviours. However, the Web lacks a specialized knowledge graph on religion. To facilitate religious knowledge sharing, we aim to build KG-Buddhism, i.e. the Chinese knowledge graph on Buddhism, which is the most widely spread religion in China. In this paper, we contribute to the development of the first version of KG-Buddhism, containing the knowledge of Buddhist figures and temples, extracted from existing encyclopedic knowledge graphs and unstructured Web text. KG-Buddhism is linked to DBpedia and can be accessed by our online API.
