| contents | In research, measuring instruments play a crucial role in producing the data that underpin scientific discoveries. Information about instruments is essential in data interpretation and, thus, knowledge production. However, if at all available and accessible, such information is scattered across numerous data sources. Relating the relevant details, e.g. instrument specifications or calibrations, with associated research assets (data, but also operating infrastructures) is challenging. Moreover, understanding the (possible) use of instruments is essential for researchers in experiment design and execution. To address these challenges, we propose a Knowledge Graph (KG) based approach for representing, publishing, and using information, extracted from various data sources, about instruments and associated scholarly artefacts. The resulting KG serves as a foundation for exploring and gaining a deeper understanding of the use and role of instruments in research, discovering relations between instruments and associated artefacts (articles and datasets), and opens the possibility to quantify the impact of instruments in research. |
