Semantic Web technologies (including ontologies, knowledge graphs, and 
linked data) are very popular to represent the knowledge in many domains 
and applications. Since uncertainty (understood in a wide sense, 
covering different types of imperfect knowledge) is inherent in many 
real-world domains, Semantic systems (based on Semantic Web 
technologies) need methods for uncertainty representation and reasoning, 
as well as for answering flexible queries over them, using formalisms 
such as fuzzy logic, possibilistic logic, probability, etc. This special 
session ("Flexible Queries over Semantic Systems") tries to bring 
together researchers in this area to disseminate the latest research 
results, share experiences, and provide a forum for a debate.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following issues:

- Extensions (including fuzzy theory, probability theory, and other 
approaches) of ontology (e.g., OWL 2) or knowledge graphs (e.g., RDF) 
languages to support flexible queries
- Extensions of query languages (e.g., SPARQL) to support flexible queries
- Approaches for flexible knowledge graph question answering
- Approaches to flexible reasoning on ontologies (e.g., fuzzy 
Description Logics or rules)
- Approaches to flexible reasoning on knowledge graphs (e.g., 
probabilist approaches to entity linking or relation prediction)
- Embedding methods to improve flexible querying to semantic systems
- Flexible queries to multilingual semantic systems
- Learning approaches to support flexible querying to semantic systems
- Implementations of tools (e.g., editors or reasoners) to support 
flexible queries to semantic systems
- Real-world applications using flexible queries to semantic systems
- New datasets to evaluate flexible querying to semantic systems
