[Purpose/Significance] The knowledge element database is constructed by integrating the potential multidimensional relationship between South China Sea rights protection evidence, which can represent the massive evidence and its association in a deep and all-round way. In turn, it provides large-scale, high-quality, and fine-grained annotated corpus to support the construction of an evidence chain for South China Sea rights protection. [Method/Process] First, considering the existing knowledge element database and based on the knowledge element representation and linking theories, facing the needs of evidence chain construction, this paper proposed a theoretical framework for an evidence knowledge element database for South China Sea rights protection and deeply explained the core content of evidence knowledge element representation and evidence knowledge element association. Second, based on this theoretical model, the construction path of the knowledge element database was proposed. The evidence knowledge elements were modeled in stages from shallow to deep in the carrier layer, content layer, value layer, and association layer, and integrated into a knowledge element database through the four sub-databases. Third, some text and map evidence knowledge elements were selected to verify the feasibility of the proposed theoretical framework and realization path. [Result/Conclusion] It can provide a reference for the relevant research on the South China Sea document collection, knowledge element database, and the evidence chain for South China Sea rights protection. The knowledge element database for scaled multidimensional South China Sea rights protection evidence needs further research and implementation.
