Background on Knowledge Graphs and Types

In this post, Knowledge Graph  indicates information stored in a graph-aware database, usually including some ontology features. Quite often the same knowledge store includes description of space, time, and/or quantitative signal data.  Such hybrid capability suggests a fuzzy boundary between a "knowledge graph" and other flavors of information storage. Meanwhile Type Theory refers to a vital trend in mathematics and logic towards harmony with concepts that are familiar in computer science. In this post I provide some general background for discussion of fun ideas at the intersection of Knowledge Graphs with Type Theory, without delving too far into specific technology issues.
