KnowWhereGraph (KWG) is a massive, geo-enabled knowledge graph with a rich and expressive schema. KWG comes with many benefits including helping to capture detailed context of the data. However, the full KWG can be commensurately difficult to navigate and visualize for certain use cases, and its size can impact query performance and complexity. In this paper, we introduce a simplified framework for discussing and constructing perspectives of knowledge graphs or ontologies to, in turn, construct simpler versions; describe our exemplar KnowWhereGraph-Lite (KWG-Lite), which is a perspective of the KnowWhereGraph; and introduce an interface for navigating and visualizing entities within KWG-Lite called KnowWherePanel.
