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

*** Call for Papers ***

The 12th International Joint Conference on Knowledge Graphs (IJCKG 2023)
is a premium academic forum on Knowledge Graphs.
The mission of IJCKG 2023 is to bring together international researchers
in the Knowledge Graph community and other related areas to present
their innovative research results or novel applications of Knowledge
Graphs.

IJCKG has evolved from the Joint International Semantic Technology
Conference (JIST): a joint event for disseminating research results
regarding the Semantic Web, Knowledge Graphs, Linked Data and AI on
the Web.


** Research Track **

The IJCKG 2023 Research Track solicits submissions of original research
work relating to Knowledge Graphs. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:

  - Representation Learning for Knowledge Graphs
  - Knowledge Graph Embeddings
  - Graph Neural Networks
  - Semantic Web and Linked Data
  - Ontologies and Reasoning
  - Knowledge Graph Construction
  - Knowledge Graph Population and Information Extraction
  - Knowledge Graph Completion
  - Knowledge Graph Quality Assessment and Refinement
  - Knowledge Representation and Semantic Reasoning
  - Graph Processing Frameworks
  - Graph Algorithms and Analytics
  - Semantic Search, Question Answering, and Chatbots
  - Graph Databases and Query Languages
  - Multimodal Knowledge Graphs
  - Contextualized Knowledge Graphs
  - Cross-modal Semantic Understanding
  - Trust, Privacy, and Security for Knowledge Graphs
  - Blockchain Technologies and Knowledge Graphs
  - Open and Enterprise Knowledge Graphs
  - Knowledge Graphs for Explainable AI
  - NLP for Knowledge Graphs
  - Novel Applications of Knowledge Graphs

* Important Dates (all dates are 23:59 AOE)
  - Abstract submission: August 28, 2023
  - Full paper submission: September 4, 2023
  - Acceptance Notification: October 6, 2023
  - Camera Ready submissions: October 13, 2023
  - Conference Date: December 8-9, 2023


* Submission types

One of the main goals of IJCKG is to unify the research community
working on diverse aspects of Knowledge Graphs. As well as regular
research papers (up to 8 pages ACM format, excluding references),
we thus additionally solicit short papers (up to 4 pages ACM format,
excluding references) that summarize research results (i.e., concise
versions of full research papers).

In addition to regular papers, this year IJCKG 2023 will call foster
research papers in the following topics chaired by the following area 
chairs:

  1. Representation and Reasoning. Markus Kroetzsch, TU Dresden, Germany
  2. Database. Jan Hidders, Birkbeck, University of London, UK
  3. Information Retrieval. Jeff Dalton, University of Glasgow, UK
  4. Natural Lanauage Processing. Peng Liu, Norwegian University of
     Science and Technology, Norway
  5. Machine Learning. Lemei Zhang, Norwegian University of Science and
     Technology, Norway

Details of each area will be provided later.

All papers should be clearly written, technically sound, and include
discussion of related works. Authors should clearly indicate in the
abstract and the introduction what type of paper they are submitting.


* Submission

Submissions to IJCKG 2023 should describe original work on Knowledge
Graphs.
IJCKG 2023 will not accept submissions that are under review for or
have already been published or accepted for publication in a journal
or another conference (*).

(*) Non peer-reviewed documents such as theses, technical reports,
    publications on preprint servers (e.g., arXiv.org) or workshops
    papers without formal proceedings are not considered prior
    publications.

    In such cases, IJCKG 2023 authors are not precluded from submitting
    papers on the same topic by the same authors.

Full research papers submitted to IJCKG 2023 are expected to present
their claimed research contribution, with clear evidence to support
their claims.

All submissions will be reviewed by at least three members of the
Program Committee of the Research Track. These anonymous reviewers
will judge each paper's relevance to the conference, technical
soundness, and the readability of the submission.

IJCKG 2023 submissions are not anonymous.

Submissions must be in PDF format, using the latest ACM Proceedings
Format with the default 9pt font (see sample-sigconf.tex or Interim
layout.docx from https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template).

Regular research paper submissions must be no longer than 8 pages,
excluding references. Short paper submissions must be no longer than
4 pages, excluding references. Unlimited additional pages may be used
for references.
Submissions that exceed this limit or that do not follow the indicated
format may be rejected without review.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and present the paper there.

Papers can be submitted electronically via EasyChair. (select a track
from regular research papers or foster research papers for five areas).

Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library within its
International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS). Papers for which 
authors do not register and present may be excluded from the
proceedings.

*** Call for Poster and Demo Papers ***

IJCKG 2023 is pleased to invite submissions for the Posters and
Demonstration session, which complements the full papers of the
conference. This session provides an opportunity to present
late-breaking research results, ongoing research projects, and
speculative or innovative work in progress.

Poster and Demo presentations allow researchers to present their
work directly to the audience and receive feedback on significant
work in progress, bleeding-edge work, or research that is best
communicated interactively or graphically.

We welcome submissions relevant to the area of knowledge graphs,
which would address, but are not limited to, the topics mentioned
in the Call for Papers of IJCKG 2023 full papers. We encourage
submissions that describe ongoing or completed research work,
reports on software systems, "idea papers" that raise interesting
questions or motivate interesting lines of research without already
having solid results, position papers that present a birds' eye view
of some aspect of knowledge graph as a meta-analysis, and PhD thesis
abstracts.

Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative knowledge graphs
and related implementations. All submissions should convey
a scientific result or work in progress and should not be advertisements
for commercial software packages.

All Poster and Demo papers will be reviewed. Accepted poster papers
will be published in the CEUR Workshop Proceedings and distributed to
conference attendees, but will not be included in the ACM proceedings.

At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the
conference and present the poster. Submissions must be in PDF format
and no longer than 4 pages, using the CEURART style with the
one-column variant.

All submissions should be made via the EasyChair system at
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ijckg2023
(select the category "Poster and Demo").

* Important Dates
  - Poster and Demo paper submission: October 20, 2023
  - Poster and Demo paper notification: November 7, 2023
  - Poster and Demo paper camera-ready: November 21, 2023

* Poster and Demo Chairs
