What it is

Awesome-Knowledge-Bases is a compact curated page of currently available knowledge bases, ontologies, knowledge graphs, and taxonomies, maintained for quick use and survey. Its README frames these resources as carriers of human knowledge that have evolved from dictionaries and rules through taxonomies and RDF/OWL ontologies to knowledge bases and knowledge graphs.

Key concepts

• Knowledge resources are presented as important to machine intelligence, natural-language understanding, reasoning, and cognition.
• The README names a progression of knowledge representations: dictionaries, rules, taxonomies, ontologies (RDF/OWL), knowledge bases, and knowledge graphs.
• Listed resources include OwnThink, OpenKG, XLORE, and OpenHowNet. The descriptions characterize OwnThink as exposing JSON APIs for a question-answering robot, knowledge graph, and semantic understanding; XLORE as a large cross-lingual knowledge graph; and OpenHowNet as an open sememe-based linguistic knowledge base.

How you’d use it

Use the README as a quick survey and link directory when looking for an available knowledge resource, especially the listed Chinese-language or cross-lingual knowledge graphs and linguistic knowledge bases. Follow the linked project that matches the needed representation or capability; this repository itself supplies brief descriptions rather than usage instructions.

Verdict

A useful but very small discovery index: it gives a concise vocabulary for knowledge representations and points to four resources, but provides no comparative criteria, integration guidance, or documentation beyond the README’s short annotations.
