[CfP] MK2023 @ FOIS2023 - Extended deadline, Last Call for Papers

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

DEADLINE EXTENDED:  *May 22nd, 2023* (AoE)
Note: You do not need to have submitted an abstract in order to submit 
until this deadline.

*Last 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*
- Paper submission deadline: ***May 22, 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.
