An interesting use of Knowledge Graphs is doing research into historic document, such when doing genealogical research or researching into some historic event, person or location. In those applications, you often have that sources do not have direct references (a person name in one document cannot always be identified with with 100% certainty) or are contradicting each other (one source gives a different date than another). In this case another layer is needed. There is some need for attaching a source identification, the actual document (scans), an author and/or an authority to a source. In case you are extracting information from historical documents, it might be needed to transcribe the contents and in that case it would be nice to be able to mark parts of the text, to quickly verify the source of a fact.
I have not yet found an application that combines all those functions and I have been considering to build one myself.

It utilises OCR to extract text content, indexes it for RAG, uses a separate service to identify/match concepts to reference data in an RDF knowledge graph, and displays the original source documents with the references to KG concepts overlayed.
