[Purpose/Significance] Knowledge Graph has become a major research hotspot in the era of artificial intelligence due to its ability to provide a new means of organization and representation of knowledge. As the field continues to evolve, numerous scholars have proposed advanced algorithms and technologies for each core stage of constructing a knowledge graph, and many large domestic and foreign enterprises have also developed their independent knowledge graph management systems. However, the majority of these graph tools developed are designed for commercial use and are often too expensive and difficult to deploy locally for small and medium-sized research teams. This presents a challenge for information organizations such as research libraries with massive resources, which require a more adaptable, universal, and efficient tool to build and manage knowledge graphs. To meet this need, it is important to develop an open-source, user-friendly, and customizable knowledge graph management system that can be easily deployed by small and medium-sized research teams. [Method/Process] In summary, this article offers a thorough and informative analysis of six mainstream knowledge graph management systems, both domestically and internationally. It delves into the unique characteristics of each system within the business process and provides an in-depth comparative analysis based on several important factors, including system functionality, technology selection, open-source availability, and application domains. The article refers to the standard construction process of knowledge graphs and highlights the platform characteristics of each system during the construction process while also examining their limitations based on current data characteristics. In response to practical needs, the article focuses on multi-path, multi-engine, distributed, and collaborative construction, integrating advanced graph algorithms and considering a well-developed underlying graph storage strategy. [Results/Conclusions] As a result,the article presents an in-depth analysis of the construction model for a collaborative development and management system of an integrated knowledge graph. It not only investigates the current state of knowledge graph management systems but also proposes novel optimization ideas. These ideas include distributed collaborative construction, which allows for simultaneous contributions from multiple sources, and parallel management of multiple graphs, enabling efficient organization and retrieval. Additionally, some suggestions are put forward: developing multi-path knowledge extraction techniques to enhance the knowledge acquisition process, and using specialized multi-graph storage engines for optimized storage and retrieval. Last, the article emphasizes the importance of incorporating cross-media and multimodal knowledge into the graph for a comprehensive representation of information.
