User-Centered Knowledge Graph Design
This presentation outlines the research I conducted as a part of my PhD dissertation, in which I involved the group of students in an interdisciplinary PhD program to design a knowledge-graph based information system that will help them progress through their education program and obtain their degree. I will present the human-centered design approach that was conducted through three stages, using different methodological approaches and will involve the seminar attendees in a graph design hands-on exercise using Neo4J Arrows.app.
