These models generate multiple datasets by running simulations across various scenarios and configurations, thereby covering a range of potential future outcomes. Currently, researchers rely on traditional search interfaces and APIs to retrieve such datasets, often piecing together information from metadata and community vocabularies. The Climate Change Knowledge Graph is designed to address these challenges by integrating diverse data sources related to climate simulations into a coherent and interoperable knowledge graph. This innovative resource allows for executing complex queries involving climate models, simulations, variables, spatio-temporal domains, and granularities. Developed with input from domain...
