Abstract
The rapid growth of scientific publications and evolving experimental paradigms create significant challenges in staying up-to-date with current advances. Assertions are often unstructured and have limited provenance, which hinders reproducibility. Ontologies and knowledge graphs (KGs) offer structured solutions by capturing assertions, evidence, and provenance to support reproducibility. This paper reviews 23 ontologies -- 13 focused on assertions and evidence and 10 on provenance -- providing an overview of the current landscape while highlighting key challenges and opportunities for improvement.
