[CfP] MK2022 @ ESWC2022, Workshop on Modular Knowledge

Dear people of the AIKR community group,


I believe that the workshop on Modular Knowledge that we organise at 
ESWC 2022 is very relevant to this group, so here is the call for papers 
that we distributed already at a few places (you may have seen it 
already, sorry for the redundency):


Workshop on Modular Knowledge (1st edition), co-located with ESWC 2022
https://mk2022.fbk.eu/

*First Call for Papers*
We invite submissions to the 1st Workshop on Modular Knowledge (MK2022), 
to be held in conjunction with the Extended Semantic Web Conference 
(ESWC) that will take place in Hersonissos (Greece) from May 29 to June 
2, 2022.
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): February 21, 2022
Paper submission deadline: February 28, 2022
Paper notification: March 28, 2022
Camera-ready version: April 11, 2022
Submission deadline for lightning talks: May 8, 2022
Workshop date: May 29 or 30, 2022

*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 team, a paper/poster/demo presented at 
the main conference, related to the topics of the workshop
All papers must be formatted using the Springer LNCS style and submitted 
non-anonymously in PDF via EasyChair at this link: 
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mk2022

*Proceedings*
Accepted full and short papers will be published in the workshop 
proceedings. Accepted lightning talks abstracts will be made available 
from the workshop website.
The best papers from each workshop may be included in the supplementary 
proceedings of ESWC 2022, which will appear in the Springer LNCS series.
Further information about paper publication will be soon available at 
the workshop website.
