[CfP] RAGE-KG 2026: Retrieval-Augmented Generation Enabled by Knowledge Graphs - Workshop at ISWC 2026

Dear all,

We are pleased to disseminate the Call for Papers for the *Retrieval-Augmented
Generation Enabled by Knowledge Graphs (RAGE-KG) Workshop*. RAGE-KG
explores the state of the art and goes beyond in integrating
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Knowledge Graphs as well as the
synergies between Large Language Models and the Linked Open Data ecosystem.
We aim to foster innovative RAG architectures relying on Semantic Web
standards and new approaches to make Linked Open Data usable by LLMs,
enhancing their ability to generate reliable, verifiable and context-aware
responses based on structured, decentralized and authoritative data sources..
