===== Description =====
The Ninth International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP 2017)
provides a forum that brings together members of diverse research
communities who are interested in efficiently capturing knowledge from a
vast range of sources, including human experts, and in creating
representations that can be useful for building knowledge-intensive
services in a variety of fields, such as the semantic web, knowledge
management, natural language processing, data quality, intelligent and
automated information systems, and cognitive approaches.
Besides a research and an application track, K-CAP 2017 will host a
number of workshops and tutorials on topics related to the theme of the
conference.
K-CAP Workshops aim to provide opportunities for exchanging views,
advancing ideas, and discussing preliminary results. Workshops are not
an alternative forum for presenting full research papers and/or specific
technical topics in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of
ideas. Workshops will be held before the research track. Prospective
workshop organizers are encouraged to contact the workshop chairs should
any questions arise.
K-CAP Tutorials enable attendees to fully appreciate current issues,
main schools of thought, and possible application areas.
===== Topics of Interest =====
We encourage the submission of workshops and tutorial proposals on all
topics that fall in the general scope of K-CAP 2017, from traditional
knowledge acquisition and processing techniques, information extraction,
data quality, to computational and cognitive approaches.
Submission Guidelines for Workshops
Workshop proposals should be submitted to
info@k-cap2017.org<mailto:info@k-cap2017.org> as a single PDF file of no
more than 5 pages, specifying “Workshop Proposal” in the title of the
PDF.
Proposals should contain the following information :
- Title.
- Description.
- Abstract (200 words).
- Motivation on why the topic is of particular interest at this time.
- Relation to the main conference topics.
- Workshop format, discussing the foreseen mix of events such as paper
presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussion. Intended
audience and expected number of participants.
- List of (potential) members of the program committee (at least 50%
have to be confirmed at the time of the proposal).
- Indication of whether the workshop should be considered for a half-day
or full-day.
- Past versions of the workshop, if applicable, including URLs as well
as submission and acceptance rates.
- Organizers’ details (name, affiliation, email address, homepage) and
short CVs.
Additionally : we strongly advise having more than one organizer,
preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives
to the workshop topic.
We welcome workshops with creative structures and organizations that
attract various types of contributions and ensure rich interactions. A
workshop summary will be included in the conference proceedings if
accepted (as a 4-page ACM format).
===== Workshop Organizers Responsibilities =====

workshop organization and timelines ;
- be responsible for the workshop publicity ;
- be responsible for their own reviewing process, decide upon the final
program content and report the number of submissions and accepted
papers to the workshop chair ;
- be responsible for publishing electronic proceedings (e.g., on the
CEUR-WS website) and make them available to participants ;
- ensure that workshop participants are informed they have to register
to the main conference and the workshop schedule, attend and
coordinate their entire workshop.

- Overview of content, description of the aims, presentation style,
potential/preferred prerequisite knowledge.
- Indication on whether the tutorial should be considered for a half-day
