Knowledge Translation

Summary: Kensho produces SPARQL-based mapping rules between knowledge bases by enriching seed correspondences with semantic structure and constraints. A two-phase process—extract intra-KB semantics, then derive mappings that respect these associations—plus heuristic ranking; evaluated on 50+ synthetic and real-world benchmarks.
