Abstract

The reusability of research data is a key aspect of science development. According to FAIR principles, to make data reusable, it is required to make it interoperable. In this work, we present Tab2KGWiz, a software designed to enrich tabular data by adding contextual information formalized as Knowledge Graphs and based on ontologies. The metadata to automate the mapping of tabular datasets into Knowledge Graphs is generated interactively by the users under the guidance of Tab2KGWiz. It is then stored and exported into the YARRRML format, which can then be reused by tools that automate the mapping from tabular to semantic graph data based on the RDF standard. Tab2KGWiz is designed to help researchers enrich the metadata of their dataset by using an intuitive graphical user interface. The software is designed with a microservice architecture with a Java Spring back-end and a React front-end. Our application helps researchers and other data-sharing actors make their data easier to discover, access, and integrate, fostering collaboration and innovation.

Tab2KGWiz：用于将表格数据映射到知识图的交互式助手

研究数据的可重用性是科学发展的一个关键方面。根据FAIR原则，为了使数据可重用，需要使数据具有互操作性。在这项工作中，我们介绍了Tab2KGWiz，这是一个软件，旨在通过添加形式化为知识图的基于本体的上下文信息来丰富表格数据。在Tab2KGWiz的指导下，用户以交互方式生成用于将表格数据集自动映射到知识图谱的元数据。然后将其存储并导出为YARRRML格式，然后可以由工具重用，这些工具可以根据RDF标准自动从表格数据映射到语义图数据。Tab2KGWiz旨在通过使用直观的图形用户界面来帮助研究人员丰富其数据集的元数据。该软件采用Java Spring后端和React前端的微服务架构设计。我们的应用程序帮助研究人员和其他数据共享参与者使他们的数据更容易发现、访问和整合，促进协作和创新。

期刊介绍： SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
