The 1st GOBLIN Workshop on Knowledge Graph Technologies welcomes papers 
on novel scientific research and innovations relevant to Knowledge 
Graphs, their applications, and associated technologies. We encourage 
submissions at the intersection of Knowledge Graphs with fields such as 
Artificial Intelligence, machine learning, data science, and automation. 
Submissions should be original and must not have been published 
elsewhere in any form or language. Each submission will receive at least 
three independent reviews and will be evaluated based on novelty, 
technical quality, reproducibility, and practical significance.

= Topics of Interest =
Topics of interest include, 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)

= Author Guidelines and Submission =
* *Full research papers*: 4-6 pages + max 2 pages references
* *Short research papers*: 2-4 pages + 1 page references
* *In Use and Experience papers*: 2-4 pages + 1 page references
* *Position and Vision papers*: 2-4 pages + 1 page references
* *System/demo papers*: 2-4 pages + 1 page references

= Review and Evaluation Criteria =
Each submission will be reviewed by at least three Programme Committee 
members. The reviewing process is double-blind, but reviewers may 
disclose their identities. Papers will be evaluated based on:

* Appropriateness
* Originality, novelty, and innovativeness
* Impact of results
* Technical quality of methods
* Soundness of evaluation
* Proper comparison to related work
* Clarity and quality of writing
* Reproducibility of results and resources

= Financial Support for Authors =
The GOBLIN COST Action has allocated a budget to support travel expenses 
for authors of accepted papers. One author per accepted paper may apply 
for financial support, subject to budget availability and COST 
reimbursement rules:
