This workshop intends to gather researchers and industry stakeholders to create a meeting point between Web of Data technologies and sustainability research to boost the potential contribution of Web technologies, such as Knowledge Graphs (KGs), towards sustainability. In this fourth edition, the workshop will focus on the identification of challenges and opportunities in combination with, but not limited to, the presentation of preliminary research results from both academia and industry. The workshop will take a broad perspective on sustainability, including ecological, economic, and social sustainability, as also specified by the UN sustainability goals. We aim for a full-day workshop with both an invited keynote presentation and paper presentations, as well as more interactive sessions, such as posters and demos, and discussions in the form of breakout groups in order to obtain as one of the workshop outcomes a research roadmap in the area of knowledge graphs for sustainability.

Submission Guidelines

All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:

• Long papers (up to 10 pages + maximum 2 pages for appendixes + maximum 2 pages for references) describing research results and applications of KGs for sustainability.
• Short papers (up to 6 pages of main paper content + 1 page of references) describing ongoing work, preliminary results, demos, resources (such as a specific KG), needs analyses, position and vision statements, etc.
• Industry talks and/or paper summaries (up to 4 pages, including references), presenting industrial applications, tools, or summaries of existing publications that have been previously published in another journal, conference, or workshop. These abstracts/summaries will not be considered for publication in the proceedings but may be accepted for a presentation at the workshop. Such submissions must clearly indicate on the first page of the submission that this is an abstract-only submission or resubmission/summary of a published paper for being presented/discussed at the workshop.

List of Topics

More specific research topics include, but are not limited to:

• KGs consisting of, or linking, sustainability data
• KG schemas (ontologies) for sustainability data
• Spatial and temporal aspects of KGs pertaining to sustainability
• KG or ontology patterns specifically important for describing, linking, and using sustainability data
• KG interfaces that support sustainability analysis
• Web infrastructure and approaches, related to KGs, for supporting sustainability aspects of the Web itself
• Applications supporting sustainability solutions by using KGs or other related Semantic Web technologies
• Sustainable use and development of KGs and KG-based applications
