Lab Knowledge Infrastructures

Knowledge Infrastructures are “robust networks of people, artifacts, and institutions that generate, share, and maintain specific knowledge about the human and natural worlds” (Edwards, 2010). Covering concepts, implementations and applications, the Lab Knowledge Infrastructures advances software artifacts in their ability to support researchers in the generation, sharing, and maintenance of scientific knowledge. As co-lead of the Open Research Knowledge Graph (ORKG) research and development initiative, the Lab Knowledge Infrastructures has substantially contributed to ORKG research, in tasks ranging from conceptualization to community engagement.
