This open access book is part of the LAMBDA Project (Learning, Applying, Multiplying Big Data Analytics), funded by the European Union, GA No. 809965. Data Analytics involves applying algorithmic processes to derive insights. Nowadays it is used in many industries to allow organizations and companies to make better decisions as well as to verify or disprove existing theories or models. The term data analytics is often used interchangeably with intelligence, statistics, reasoning, data mining, knowledge discovery, and others. The goal of this book is to introduce some of the definitions, methods, tools, frameworks, and solutions for big data processing, starting from the process of information extraction and knowledge representation, via knowledge processing and analytics to visualization, sense-making, and practical applications. Each chapter in this book addresses some pertinent aspect of the data processing chain, with a specific focus on understanding Enterprise Knowledge Graphs, Semantic Big Data Architectures, and Smart Data Analytics solutions. This book is addressed to graduate students from technical disciplines, to professional audiences following continuous education short courses, and to researchers from diverse areas following self-study courses. Basic skills in computer science, mathematics, and statistics are required.

ClaimsKG is a knowledge graph of metadata information for 59580 fact-checked claims scraped from 13 fact-checking sites. In addition to providing a single dataset of claims and associated metadata, truth ratings are harmonised and additional information is provided for each claim, e.g., about mentioned entities. Please see (https://data.gesis.org/claimskg/) for further details about the data model and statistics.

The dataset facilitates structured queries about claims, their truth values, involved entities, authors, dates, and other kinds of metadata. ClaimsKG is generated through a (semi-)automated pipeline, which harvests claim-related data from popular fact-checking web sites, annotates them with related entities from DBpedia/Wikipedia, and lifts all data to RDF using established vocabularies (such as schema.org). 

The latest release of ClaimsKG covers 59580 claims. The data was scraped till August, of 2022 containing claims published between the years 1996-2022 from 13 factchecking websites. The claim-review (fact checking) period for claims ranges between the year 1996 to 2022. Entity fishing python client (https://github.com/hirmeos/entity-fishing-client-python) has been used for entity linking and disambiguation in this release. The dataset contains a total of 1371271 entities detected and referenced with DBpedia. More information, such as detailed statistics, query examples and a user-friendly interface to explore the knowledge graph is available at: https://data.gesis.org/claimskg/ .

The first two releases of ClaimsKG are hosted at Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3518960), ClaimsKGV1.0 (published on 04.04.2019), ClaimsKGV2.0 (published on 01.09.2019). This latest release of ClaimsKG supersedes the previous versions as it contains all the claims from the previous versions together with additional claims as well as improved entity annotations.

The latest release of ClaimsKG covers 74066 claims and 72127 Claim Reviews. This is the fourth release of the dataset where data was scraped till Jan 31, 2023 containing claims published between 1996 and 2023 from 13 fact-checking websites. The websites are Fullfact, Politifact, TruthOrFiction, Checkyourfact, Vishvanews, AFP (French), AFP, Polygraph, EU factcheck, Factograph, Fatabyyano, Snopes and Africacheck. The claim-review (fact-checking) period for claims ranges between the year 1996 to 2023. Similar to the previous release, the Entity fishing python client (https://github.com/hirmeos/entity-fishing-client-python) has been used for entity linking and disambiguation in this release. Improvements have been made in the web scraping and data preprocessing pipeline to extract more entities from both claims and claims reviews. Currently, ClaimsKG contains 3408386 entities detected and referenced with DBpedia.

This latest release of ClaimsKG supersedes the previous versions as it contained all the claims from the previous versions together in addition to the additional new claims as well as improved entity annotation resulting in a higher number of entities.
