GENERAL INFORMATION

The DL workshop is the major annual event of the description logic research community. It is the forum in which those interested in description logics, both from academia and industry, meet to discuss ideas, share information and compare experiences. The 36th edition will be held in Rhodes, Greece, between September 2nd and 4th 2023. It will be co-located with KR 23 & NMR 23, the 20th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning and the 21st International Workshop on Non-Monotonic Reasoning.

WORKSHOP SCOPE

We invite contributions on all aspects of description logic, including, but not limited to the following:

• Foundations of description logics: decidability and complexity of reasoning, expressive power, novel inference problems, inconsistency management, reasoning techniques, modularisation, ontology extraction, abductive and inductive reasoning, learnability
• Extensions of description logics: closed-world and non-monotonic reasoning, epistemic reasoning, temporal and spatial reasoning, procedural knowledge, query answering, reasoning over dynamic information
• Integration of description logics with other formalisms: database query languages, constraint-based programming, logic programming, rule-based systems, knowledge graphs, hybrid reasoning approaches
• Applications of description logics: ontology engineering, ontology languages, databases, ontology-based data access, semi-structured data, graph-structured data, linked data, document management, natural language, hybrid approaches combining logic and learning,explanations, planning, Semantic Web, cloud computing, conceptual modeling, web services, business processes, practical experiences, case studies, feasibility studies
• Systems and tools of all kinds around description logics: reasoners, ontology editors, ontology alignment, ontology extraction, ontology learning and mining, other support for ontology development, database schema design, query rewriting/answering/optimization, data integration, implementation and optimization techniques, benchmarking, evaluation, modeling

SUBMISSIONS

DL reviewing is single-blind, so the names of the authors will be visible to the reviewers and should be indicated on the submitted files. We allow anonymous submissions on request (see below).

Submissions may be of two types:

A – Regular papers of up to 11 pages (excluding references)

B – Extended abstracts of 2–4 pages (excluding references)

Both regular papers and abstracts must be formatted using the new CEURART style, based on the DL-specific template available on https://dl2023.w.uib.no/submissions/ and submitted via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dl2023.

Submissions of type A must contain enough substance that they can be cited in other publications and may not have appeared before. A clearly marked appendix with additional proofs and evaluation data may be included.

For submissions of type B, we highly encourage a clearly marked appendix with additional proofs, evaluation data, or extended version of your paper, which was accepted at another conference or which you submitted or plan to submit to another conference. Abstracts of papers accepted or under review at other venues must clearly state thevenue where the paper has been submitted alongside its status. The appendix will be read at the discretion of the reviewers and will not be included in the proceedings. The appendix does not need to be in the CEURART format.

Accepted submissions of both types will be selected for either oral or poster presentation at the workshop. Submissions will be judged solely based on their content, and the type of submission will have no bearing on the decision between oral and poster presentation. The proceedings will be made publicly available via CEUR-WS.org.

In justified cases, if you wish your submission to be handled anonymously (i.e., double-blind), please send an e-mail to dl2023 [at] easychair.org explaining the reasons. You will receive instructions on how to proceed.
