CfP: Workshop on Knowledge Graph Construction @ESWC2021

2nd International Workshop on Knowledge Graph Construction

(#KGCW2021) in conjunction with ESWC2021 [https://2021.eswc-conferences.org]

**************************************************************

Workshop website: https://kg-construct.github.io/workshop/2021/

Workshop date: 6th June 2021

Submission deadline: 1st of March, 2021

***************************************************************

KGCW is a full-day workshop on Knowledge Graph construction co-located with
the Extended Semantic Web Conference 2021 (ESWC2021)
<https://2021.eswc-conferences.org/>. KGCW has a special focus this
time on knowledge
graph construction methods that involve or analyze the roles of users. Our
goal is to provide a venue for scientific discourse, systematic analysis,
and rigorous evaluation of languages, techniques, and tools, as well as
practical and applied experiences and lessons-learned for constructing
knowledge graphs from academia and industry. The workshop complements and
aligns with the activities of the W3C CG on KG construction
<https://www.w3.org/community/kg-construct/>.

Mapping Challenges

-----------------------------

Different mapping languages for heterogeneous data emerge, such as RML,
SPARQL-Generate, or ShExML. In most cases, the proposed mapping languages
rely on existing but repurposed specifications, such as R2RML, SPARQL, or
ShEx respectively, complemented by existing specifications for different
data formats, e.g., SQL, XPath, JSONPath, etc. While this approach has its
merits, there are still some open challenges that affect at least RML but
most other mapping languages as well. We identified those challenges as
they were mentioned in different repositories and occasions and we compiled
a list of open challenges to be addressed:
https://kg-construct.github.io/workshop/2021/challenges.html. We invite
people from both industry and academia to come up with their own solutions
to these open challenges.
