TL;DR
The paper addresses the need for timely, machine-actionable access to technology intelligence to plan cyber-physical systems. It introduces a two-stage knowledge graph construction framework that pre-selects domain-relevant documents from heterogeneous sources and anchors the KG to the GENIAL! Basic Ontology, enabling domain-specific reasoning. The approach is demonstrated in automotive electrical systems, showing improvements over baselines in class recognition and relationship extraction, and offering a scalable alternative to Wikidata for domain content. The results yield rich topic maps and knowledge graphs that support planning and decision-making, with future work focusing on quality assurance and ontology-driven refinement.
Abstract
In this paper we propose a novel approach based on knowledge graphs to provide timely access to structured information, to enable actionable technology intelligence, and improve cyber-physical systems planning. Our framework encompasses a text mining process, which includes information retrieval, keyphrase extraction, semantic network creation, and topic map visualization. Following this data exploration process, we employ a selective knowledge graph construction (KGC) approach supported by an electronics and innovation ontology-backed pipeline for multi-objective decision-making with a focus on cyber-physical systems. We apply our methodology to the domain of automotive electrical systems to demonstrate the approach, which is scalable. Our results demonstrate that our construction process outperforms GraphGPT as well as our bi-LSTM and transformer REBEL with a pre-defined dataset by several times in terms of class recognition, relationship construction and correct "sublass of" categorization. Additionally, we outline reasoning applications and provide a comparison with Wikidata to show the differences and advantages of the approach.
