 #### Merge multiple RDF files into one single Knowledge Graph
 Merging is done by the script `merge_rdf_files_into_kg.py`. The input is given as terminal parameters. For more information call `python3 merge_rdf_files_into_kg.py -h`. The output and if the content of an existing graph is to be overwritten is set in the configuration file `config-merge_rdf_files_into_kg.json`. This config-file contains:
 * `existing_ontology`: File link to an existing knowledge graph. If set, this KG is loaded before adding any new data. The old data, including UUIDs, is then not overwritten, when `merge_rdf_files_into_kg.py` is run.
