Composable Trust Infrastructure for Manufacturing Knowledge Graphs: Cross-System Provenance, Temporal Reasoning, and Decision Traceability

Abstract

arXiv:2608.21418v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Manufacturing knowledge graphs that integrate data from heterogeneous industrial systems face a trust deficit: consumers cannot determine whether queried data is valid, whether it was valid when a decision was made, where it originated, or how it was acted upon. We argue that four trust capabilities -- SHACL validation, PROV-O provenance, domain-aware bi-temporal versioning, and graph-native decision objects -- compose through shared correlation id
