Geospatial Knowledge Graphs
Geospatial knowledge graphs have emerged as a novel paradigm for representing and reasoning over geospatial information. In this framework, entities such as places, people, events, and observations are depicted as nodes, while their relationships are represented as edges. This graph-based data format lays the foundation for creating a "FAIR" (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) environment, facilitating the management and analysis of geographic information. This entry first introduces key concepts in knowledge graphs along with their associated standardization and tools. It then delves into the application of knowledge graphs in geography and environmental sciences, emphasizing their role in bridging symbolic and subsymbolic GeoAI to address cross-disciplinary geospatial challenges. At the end, new research directions related to geospatial knowledge graphs are outlined.

Measuring Network Resilience via Geospatial Knowledge Graph: a Case Study of the US Multi-Commodity Flow Network
Rao, Jinmeng, Gao, Song, Miller, Michelle, Morales, Alfonso
Quantifying the resilience in the food system is important for food security issues. In this work, we present a geospatial knowledge graph (GeoKG)-based method for measuring the resilience of a multi-commodity flow network. Specifically, we develop a CFS-GeoKG ontology to describe geospatial semantics of a multi-commodity flow network comprehensively, and design resilience metrics that measure the node-level and network-level dependence of single-sourcing, distant, or non-adjacent suppliers/customers in food supply chains. We conduct a case study of the US state-level agricultural multi-commodity flow network with hierarchical commodity types. The results indicate that, by leveraging GeoKG, our method supports measuring both node-level and network-level resilience across space and over time and also helps discover concentration patterns of agricultural resources in the spatial network at different geographic scales.
