A comprehensive effort to organize and represent the most current knowledge of coronavirus biology and pathophysiology – COVID-19 Knowledge Graph – a computable, multimodal, cause-and-effect knowledge model by researchers from German and India. Understanding the effects of the pandemic on real estate requires property level data, where Ron Bekkerman, CTO of Cherre, one of our KGC 2020 speakers suggested rethinking the models to assess the blanket effect of stay-at-home order on real estate property. The structured representation of scholarly knowledge via Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) has enabled the automation of literature overviews, the progression and the current state of knowledge as well as machine actionable data analytics. See how it is done on the COVID-19 research. Ontology driven data architectures has demonstrated rapid adaptation and evolvability in the COVID19 project led by Data Language for Cochrane, a global independent network of researchers, professionals, patients, carers and people interested in health.
