Second edition of the Knowledge Graph Construction Challenge at the Fifth International Workshop on Knowledge Graph Construction

*Second edition of the Knowledge Graph Construction Challenge at the 
Fifth International Workshop on Knowledge Graph Construction
*(#KGCW2024) in conjunction with ESWC2024 
[https://2024.eswc-conferences.org/]

**************************************************************
*Workshop date*: 26/27th of May 2024
*Expression of Interest in the Challenge*: 31st of January 2024 AoE
*Results submission*: 30th April 2024 AoE
*Report paper (optional)*: 12th of May 2024 AoE

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

Knowledge graph construction of heterogeneous data has experienced 
widespread adoption in the last decade from compliance
to performance optimizations with respect to execution time. However, 
other metrics related to the required resources e.g., CPU or memory 
usage are not considered.
This challenge aims at benchmarking knowledge graph systems for a 
combination of these metrics.

The second edition of the Challenge on KG construction aims to assess
*- Track 1: the compliance with the new RML specification 
*(https://w3id.org/rml/portal)
*- Track 2: the performance of different engines with respect to a 
benchmark*, soon available on the Challenge’s website

Any engine that transforms heterogeneous data into RDF graphs is welcome 
to submit its results to one of the two (or both tracks).*
You can participate with any engine, it is not limited to the main 
developers of an engine to participate.*
Thus, we invite anyone who develops engines, changes existing engines, 
or wants to assess the performance of an existing engine to participate.
All details regarding the challenge will be ready soon, *please confirm 
your interest to participate in the challenge by filling out this form*
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1nc1Fr8m-uoIRtyaV9pFvM_bD7tGd-QIXE8D5BFpFBy0) 
*before January 31th 2024 AoE. *

We strongly encourage you to fill out this form  because we need to 
arrange hardware for participants.
Participants will have access to unified hardware with similar 
specifications to be able to compare the tools!
You can always join our Slack channel to stay up-to-date regarding the
