Redalyc launched the Collection of Ancestral knowledge

In July 2020, Redalyc, together with Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México (UAEMex) launched the Collection of Ancestral knowledge accessible on Redalyc portal with support of a Shuttleworth Foundation flash grant. More than 24,000 articles from 1,300 journals and 26 countries are analyzed with SPARQL. This is an ontology-based dataset that aims to integrate the scientific content published in the Open Access journals indexed by Redalyc on topics such as: indigenous knowledge, indigenous peoples and cultures, native languages, ancestral agriculture, among others. The resulting data set is transformed through a process to extract the meaning of the different data that make up a scientific article and is then stored in the form of triplets in a knowledge base linked to Linked Open Data.
