Knowledge Graphs have revolutionized knowledge representation, offering better understanding and interpretation for both human and machine. However, there is no consensus on a definition for domain-specific KGs, and current construction approaches have limitations and deficiencies.
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have made a qualitative leap and effected a real revolution in knowledge representation. This is leveraged by the underlying structure of the KG which underpins a better comprehension, reasoning and interpretation of knowledge for both human and machine. Therefore, KGs continue to be used as the main means of tackling a plethora of real-life problems in various domains. However, there is no consensus in regard to a plausible and inclusive definition of a domain-specific KG. Further, in conjunction with several limitations and deficiencies, various domain-specific KG construction approaches are far from perfect. This survey is the first to offer a comprehensive definition of a domain-specific KG. Also, the paper presents a thorough review of the state-of-the-art approaches drawn from academic works relevant to seven domains of knowledge. An examination of current approaches reveals a range of limitations and deficiencies. At the same time, uncharted territories on the research map are highlighted to tackle extant issues in the literature and point to directions for future research.

DSpamOnto: An Ontology Modelling for Domain-Specific Social Spammers in Microblogging

Malak Al-Hassan, Bilal Abu-Salih, Ahmad Al Hwaitat

Summary: The lack of regulation and oversight on Online Social Networks has led to a rise in social spam, which aims to deceive and manipulate users through unsolicited and low-quality content. Social spam can cause harmful effects such as malware spread, phishing scams, and reputational damage. Machine learning techniques can detect social spammers by analyzing data patterns, but have limitations in terms of false positives and false negatives. Ontologies offer a solution by providing explicit modeling of domain knowledge to create rules for identifying social spammers. This paper addresses the deficiency in ontologies for conceptualizing domain-based social spam by designing a specific ontology called DSpamOnto that can identify social spammers based on their domain-specific behavior.
