A Unified Framework for Alzheimer’s Disease Knowledge Graphs: Architectures, Principles, and Clinical Translation by Jovana Dobreva, Monika Simjanoska Misheva, Kostadin Mishev, Dimitar Trajanov, Igor Mishkovski

“…From this analysis, we recommend AD-KG 2.0, which is a new framework that coalesces best practices into a unifying architecture with well-defined decision pathways for implementation. Our key contributions are as follows: (1) a dynamic adaptation mechanism that adapts methodological elements automatically according to both data availability and application objectives, (2) a specialized semantic alignment layer that harmonizes terminologies across biological scales, and (3) a multi-constraint optimization approach for knowledge graph building. …”
