knowledge graphs have been introduced in [Corby and Faron-Zucker, 2010] through the KGRAM framework. They result from an initiative [Dieng-Kuntz and Corby, 2005] aimed at easing the design of semantic web applications through conceptual graphs (CGs) [Sowa, 1984]. They are particularly well suited in the context of collaborative lifescience platforms since (i) they allow representing and queryin...

The vast majority of brain-injured patients with semantic impairment have better comprehension of concrete than abstract words.
