Topics

Ethical and Trustworthy Knowledge Engineering

• Ethics and trust in automated reasoning
• Algorithmic transparency and explanations for knowledge-based systems
• Knowledge and ethics
• Ontologies for trust and ethics
• Trust and privacy in knowledge representation

Knowledge Engineering and Acquisition

• Tools and methodologies for ontology engineering
• Ontology design patterns
• Ontology localisation
• Multilinguality in ontologies
• Ontology alignment
• Knowledge authoring and semantic annotation
• Knowledge acquisition from non-ontological resources (thesauri, folksonomies, etc.)
• Semi-automatic knowledge acquisition, e.g., ontology learning
• Collaborative knowledge acquisition and formalisation
• Mining the Semantic Web and the Web of Data
• Ontology evaluation and metrics
• Uncertainty and vagueness in knowledge representation
• Dealing with dynamic, distributed and emerging knowledge
  

Knowledge Management

• Methodologies and tools for knowledge management
• Knowledge sharing and distribution, collaboration
• Best practices and lessons learned from case studies
• Provenance and trust in knowledge management
• FAIR data and knowledge
• Methods for accelerating take-up of knowledge management technologies

• Knowledge evolution, maintenance and preservation
• Incentives for human knowledge acquisition and data quality improvement (e.g. games with a purpose)
  

Social and Cognitive Aspects of Knowledge Representation

• Similarity and analogy-based reasoning
• Knowledge representation inspired by cognitive science
• Synergies between humans and machines
• Knowledge emerging from user interaction and networks
• Knowledge ecosystems
• Expert finding, e.g., by social network analysis
• Collaborative and social approaches to knowledge management and acquisition
• Crowdsourcing in knowledge management
