Generating a Question Answering Dataset About Geographic Changes in a Knowledge Graph
Most studies on semantic question answering ({QA}) are predominantly focused on encyclopedic knowledge graphs like {DBpedia} and Wikidata. These studies cover, if at all, the spatial and temporal characteristics of geospatial entities in isolation, not addressing them simultaneously. In this paper, we introduce a pipeline for creating question answering datasets for evaluating the reasoning capabilities of {QA} models in the context of geographic changes over time. This pipeline generates questions, {GeoSPARQL} queries, and corresponding answers by leveraging subgraph and query template extraction techniques.
