This is a cross-over event aiming to stimulate the convergence between the communities focusing on Knowledge Graphs and those working on Model-driven Engineering of Information Systems. The initiative is motivated, among other factors, by the emerging notion of "Context Graphs" highlighting the importance of traceable decision-making and process knowledge, something that has been traditionally captured through enterprise modeling languages and execution traces associated with the enterprise aspects described through such languages. The recent uptake of the Agentic AI paradigm, with renewed interest in workflow orchestration and contextualized delegation, further suggests a growing relevance of this convergence. The workshop aims to stimulate a two-way exchange of knowledge and technical enablers - how approaches commonly employed in Model-driven Engineering can support KG-based systems or processes; and vice versa, how enterprise modeling methods and diagrammatic model contents can be augmented by KGs and KG-based AI systems. Furthermore, we also look at KG-LLMs integration patterns that can benefit from model-driven engineering practices, towards novel knowledge-driven architectures and knowledge conversion modes.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome.
- Full papers which can be regular research or experience papers (9-12 pages including references)
- Short papers which can be position or vision papers (6-8 pages including references)
Since we plan to submit the accepted paper for inclusion in a CEUR-WS volume, formatting must comply with the CEURART 1-column format. Information about the CEURART format can be found at https://ceur-ws.org/HOWTOSUBMIT.html (scroll to section “CEURART style files for papers”). The initial PDF submission can use the deprecated Word template (http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip) but camera-ready drafts of accepted papers will have to use current CEURART Latex/Overleaf templates (Overleaf template available at https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/template-for-submissions-to-ceur-workshop-proceedings-ceur-ws-dot-org/wqyfdgftmcfw; and offline Latex template available at http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip).
Use of Generative AI in the development of the paper must comply with the CEUR-WS GenAI policy and must be explicitly declared at the end of the paper, as instructed at https://ceur-ws.org/GenAI/Policy.html.
All accepted papers will have to be presented in person by one registered author. Accepted papers that will not be presented will not be included in the workshop proceedings.
