WWW2019 Workshop on Knowledge Graph Technology and Applications

Knowledge Graphs are graph structures that capture knowledge in the form of entities and the relationships between them, and optionally the provenance information. Along with Semantic Web standards such as RDF, OWL, and SPARQL, advances in Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Information Retrieval has led to automated construction of knowledge graphs such as DBpedia, YAGO, Wikidata, Google’s and LinkedIn’s Knowledge Graph, Microsoft’s Satori, and Product Knowledge Graph from Amazon and eBay. Knowledge Graphs are used in several applications such as search, question answering, data integration, recommendation systems etc., across several domains such as healthcare, geosciences, manufacturing, aviation, power, oil and gas. There are several challenges related to knowledge graphs from the perspective of both the technology and its applications. This workshop aims to foster discussions along these perspectives.
