FMKD: Formal Models of Knowledge Diversity Call for Participation ---------------------------------------------------------------- A workshop at JOWO 2022 August 15-19, 2022 Jnkping University, Sweden https://sites.google.com/unimib.it/fmkd/ Deadlines ----- Papers due: June 15th, 2022 Notification to authors: July 15th, 2022 Camera-ready version due: August 5th, 2022 Workshop dates: August 15-19, 2022 (all dates are AoE) Overview ----- FMKD@JOWO intends to create a space of confluence and a forum for discussion for researchers interested in knowledge diversity in a wide sense, including diversity in terms of diverging perspectives, different beliefs, semantic heterogeneity and others. The importance of understanding and handling the different forms of diversity that manifest between knowledge formalisations (ontologies, knowledge bases, or knowledge graphs) is widely recognised and has led to the proposal of a variety of systems of representation, tackling overlapping aspects of this phenomenon. Besides understanding the phenomenon and considering formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity, we are interested in the variety of reasoning problems that emerge in this context, including jointly reasoning with possibly conflicting sources, interpreting knowledge from alternative viewpoints, consolidating the diversity as uncertainty, reasoning by means of argumentation between the sources and pursuing knowledge aggregations among others. A non-exhaustive list of topics of interest for the workshop: Philosophical and cognitive analysis of knowledge diversity. Formal models for the representation of knowledge diversity. Ontological approaches capturing multiple perspectives and viewpoints. Context and concept formation in such systems. Consistency (or not) in multi-perspective systems; assessment and mitigation of inconsistencies. Communication between knowledge-diverse systems. Argumentation-based approaches for dealing with inconsistency Aggregation of diverse or inconsistent knowledge; judgement aggregation. Uncertainty in the context of knowledge diversity. Applications of formal models of knowledge diversity. Submissions ----- Submissions will be managed via EasyChair ( https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2022 ).
