An Ignorance-Base for Prenatal Nutrition: A Knowledge Graph to Explore the Literature's Known Unknowns
Mayla R. Boguslav, Research Associate, Southern California Clinical and Translational Science Institute (USC Keck School of Medicine)

Research progresses through accumulating knowledge such that a previously unexplored subject (an unknown unknown) becomes an active research area exploring the questions (known unknowns), until a body of established facts emerges (known knowns). Many knowledge-bases exists for known knowns, but no ignorance-bases exist for known unknowns. What novel connections and insights are in the unknowns? Using a knowledge graph, we created the first ignorance-base for prenatal nutrition to help find pertinent questions that could affect mothers and offspring globally.
