kastle-drawbridge

• kastle-drawbridge is the formulation of a "zero-to-hero" curriculum for learning and using knowledge graphs. It assumes no code experience, and runs you through being able to develop a knowledge graph, and query against it.

Foundation

• The purpose of this directory is to familiarize a student to the field of Computer Science and the aspects of programming. This directory will walk a student through how to use Python as a programming language.
  • This entails Data Structures, that is creating and understanding dictionaries and lists through examples illustrating their usage for storing and retrieving information.
  • Also, I/O manipulation with practical examples while also creating, navigating and manipulating directories.

Knowledge-Graphs

• The purpose of this directory contains details on how to create, utilize, and apply a knowledge graph. This directory inherits information from kastle-lab\cs7810-intro-to-ke and The KGC Open KG Curriculum
• Since the student is expected to be familiar with the foundations mentioned above, the next step would be to advance the learning with the RDFLib starter code as a first exposure to creating KGs.
• This directory will also guide a student to understanding the concept of a turtle ("ttl") file, introducing examples to navigate and validate a knowledge graph in this format.
• The final deliverable for this KG will be a student implementation of a Family-Tree knowledge graph as described in the family-tree.md
