[DL] [CfP] MK2023 @ FOIS2023, Workshop on Modular Knowledge - First Call for Papers

[Loris Bozzato]

*Workshop on Modular Knowledge (2nd edition), co-located with FOIS 2023*
https://mk2023.fbk.eu/

*First Call for Papers*
We invite submissions to the 2nd Workshop on Modular Knowledge (MK2023), to
be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Formal
Ontologies in Information Systems (FOIS 2023) that will take place in
Sherbrooke, Quebec (Canada) from July 17 to 20, 2023. This is designed as
an in-person only workshop.
The Modular Knowledge workshop offers an interdisciplinary venue for
discussing and developing solutions for modularity of knowledge: the
dramatic increase in the amount of open and linked data and the increasing
semantification of such data make clear that knowledge is not monolithic,
static or uniform, and that there is a need of methods and tools for
dealing with heterogeneous and distributed knowledge as a constellation of
modules.
The workshop aims to cover and establish connections between various
approaches (ranging from rich semantic representations, like Knowledge
Graphs and formal ontology, to simpler schemas, like RDF and database
schemas) for representing knowledge, its context, its evolution, and for
making it accessible to automatic reasoning and knowledge management tasks.
We welcome approaches that make use of logic-based, subsymbolic, or
numerical representations.
Modular Knowledge is a full-day workshop consisting of full paper and
short/position paper presentations, a lightning talk session, an
interactive session between pairs of participants randomly selected, and an
open discussion between all participants.

*Important Dates*
Abstract submission deadline (for full or short papers): May 6, 2023
Paper submission deadline: May 13, 2023
Paper notification: June 15, 2023
Camera-ready version: June 30, 2023 (strict)
Submission deadline for lightning talks: July 7, 2023
Workshop day (in-person only): July 19 or 20, 2023

*Topics*
We seek contributions on all aspects of modularity in data, information and
knowledge, including:

Theoretical and cognitive aspects of modularity
Languages for capturing modularity
Modularity in knowledge graphs, linked data and ontologies (conceptual, as
well as formal)
Modules and modularity at all stages of knowledge engineering, including
during modeling and design, formalization, verification, and use (for
querying, reasoning and other purposes)
Extracting and computing modules from knowledge and data sources
Merging, aligning, integrating, and matching of data and knowledge via
modules
Versioning and evolution of modules and modular knowledge
Reasoning and representing knowledge in context

*Submission requirements*
We invite the submission of original research results and proposed research
directions related to the focus areas of the workshop, in one of the three
categories given below:
Full papers (up to 12 pages, including references) with mature work and
established results, including research reports and surveys
Short/position papers (up to 6 pages, including references) presenting
proposed research directions, new open issues, ideas and challenges,
positions and opinions on the status of the field
Lightning talk abstracts (up to 500 words) with a position statement, a
challenge, a project, a tool, a research group, a paper/poster/demo
presented at the main conference, related to the topics of the workshop
All papers must be formatted using the one-column CEUR-ART style
(instructions here: https://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/) and submitted
non-anonymously in PDF via EasyChair at this link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=fois2023 in the “Modular Knowledge
2023” track.
The template for CEURART can be downloaded from
http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip or authors may start from this
Overleaf page: https://www.overleaf.com/read/gwhxnqcghhdt

*Proceedings*
Accepted full and short papers will be published in the proceedings of the
Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2023). Accepted lightning talks abstracts
will solely be made available from the workshop website. For accepted
papers, participation and presentation by one of the authors is required.
Further information about paper publication will be soon available at the
workshop website.
