Call for Papers @ 1st GOBLIN Workshop on Knowledge Graph Technologies
(GOBLIN 2025)

Dates: 12 June 2025

Location: Leipzig, Germany

==============

We invite submissions to the 1st GOBLIN Workshop on Knowledge Graph
Technologies (GOBLIN 2025) to be held in Leipzig, Germany on June 12, 2025.

Knowledge Graphs are transforming the way we model, integrate, and analyze
complex data, with applications spanning various domains, such as finance,
health, and robotics, as well as in technologies such as Artificial
Intelligence, machine learning, data science, and automation. We invite
researchers and industry experts to submit papers to the 1st GOBLIN
workshop focusing on cutting-edge developments in Knowledge Graph
technologies. The workshop aims to explore innovations, applications, and
challenges in engineering, managing, and utilizing knowledge graphs across
various domains. We welcome contributions encompassing methods, tools,
applications, datasets, benchmarks, and frameworks, as well as other
relevant advances beyond these areas.

The 1st GOBLIN Workshop edition is organized under the umbrella of the GOBLIN
COST Action (http://cost.eu/actions/CA23147/). The GOBLIN Action aims to
increase and enhance the public open knowledge available in Europe and
beyond, by providing a large-scale, high-quality, cross-domain, and
multilingual knowledge graph technology that is free to use, reuse, and
redistribute.
Topics of Interest

We welcome contributions on the following list of Knowledge Graph topics,
but are not limited to:

   -

   Modeling, designing, and integrating KGs, including ontology engineering
   and enrichment.
   -

   Development, publication, maintaining, and versioning of knowledge
   graphs, including schema evolution and data updates.
   -

   Techniques for extracting, linking, and improving knowledge graphs,
   ensuring data quality and consistency.
   -

   Methods for reasoning and discovering insights, patterns, and
   relationships within large-scale KGs.
   -

   Strategies for safeguarding knowledge graphs, addressing access control,
   bias detection, and data protection.
   -

   Leveraging KGs in deep learning, large language models, and natural
   language processing, KGs for LLMs and LLMs for KGs.
   -

   Enhancing search, recommendations, and question-answering systems using
   knowledge graph-based techniques.
   -

   Success stories and lessons learned in real-world implementations of KGs
   in healthcare, finance, e-commerce, manufacturing, and beyond.
   -

   Applications of KGs in various contexts, such as content analysis,
   misinformation detection, and social media insights.
   -

   Evaluation of knowledge graph development tasks based on LLMs/GenAI.
   -

   Knowledge Graph-based retrieval augmented generation (RAG).

If accepted, you will be invited to present your work in Leipzig, Germany
on June 12, 2025.
Who can submit

The call is open to submissions from everyone.

Members of the GOBLIN COST Action are particularly encouraged to submit
their work.

Special consideration is given to young researchers and innovators (under
40 years old) and researchers affiliated with institution(s) in an
Inclusiveness Target Country (ITCs)[1], who are strongly encouraged to
participate in the workshop.

In the case of closely ranked submissions, preference will be given to
those from young researchers and individuals affiliated with institutions
in ITC countries.

Financial support for the authors of accepted papers

The GOBLIN COST Action has allocated a budget to cover the travel expenses
for authors of the accepted papers. One author per accepted paper can apply
for financial support in case they are not covered by other sources.
However, the receipt of financial support is not automatic and will be
subject to budget availability and COST reimbursement rules. For more, see
the COST Annotated Rules (

).
Proceedings

The papers will be collected and published on Zenodo and announced and
shared on the workshop website and the GOBLIN COST Action website.
