1. Knowledge graphs allow gaining insights through using reasoners, visual analytics, and network science approaches. Reasoners use rules and ontologies while visual analytics uses network visualization libraries.
2. Network science approaches model relationships as nodes and edges. Metrics like degree, betweenness, and centralization quantify properties of individual nodes or the overall network. Community detection identifies subgroups.
3. Comparing networks over time helps understand environmental changes. Mineral co-occurrence networks reveal paragenetic modes through community detection. Evolving networks show how biological utilization of elements changed through Earth's history.
