Initial Exploration Problem Hinders Knowledge Graph Adoption for Enterprise Users
A new paper from McNamara et al. (arXiv, 2026) theorises the Initial Exploration Problem (IEP) in knowledge graph exploration. It identifies three interdependent barriers—scope uncertainty, ontology opacity, and query incapacity—that block lay users from starting exploration. The authors argue current interfaces lack interaction primitives for scope revelation, creating a structural gap in design.
