[PlanetKR] MK2022 @ ESWC2022, Workshop on Modular Knowledge - Call for Lighting Talks

[Loris Bozzato]

*Workshop on Modular Knowledge (1st edition), co-located with ESWC 2022*
https://mk2022.fbk.eu/

*Call for Lightning Talks*
We invite submissions to the 1st Workshop on Modular Knowledge (MK2022), to
be held in conjunction with the Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC)
that will take place in Hersonissos (Greece) from May 29 to June 2, 2022.
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 (Lightning talks)*
- Submission deadline for lightning talks: May 8, 2022
- Workshop date: May 29, 2022

*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:
Lightning talk abstracts (up to 500 words) with a position statement, a
challenge, a project, a tool, a team, a paper/poster/demo presented at the
main conference, related to the topics of the workshop

All abstracts must be submitted non-anonymously via EasyChair at this link:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mk2022
Accepted lightning talks abstracts will be made available from the workshop
website.
Remote presentation of lightning talks will be possible (details on
presentation options will be provided soon).

*Workshop Chairs*
- Loris Bozzato (Fondazione Bruno Kessler)
- Valentina Anita Carriero (University of Bologna)
- Torsten Hahmann (University of Maine)
- Antoine Zimmermann (École des Mines de Saint-Étienne)
