- Ontology design patterns
- Similarity measurement and Analogy-based reasoning
Regular (research) papers should not have been longer than 8 pages, including references, while applications papers, short papers, vision papers, and late breaking results were limited to 4 pages. We also encouraged submissions of concrete applications in all the topics of the conference, presenting applications, tools, or environments which have been deployed and used by their target audiences such as research projects and research communities, or the industry.
All papers were submitted through Easychair (using https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=kcap2017) and formatted according to the ACM format (2 column SIG Conference Proceedings template) available here for Latex and here for Word.
