Web-KR 2013 - The Fouth International Workshop on Web-scale Knowledge Representation Retrieval and Reasoning

The World Wide Web has become the carrier for the largest human knowledge repository in history. As its knowledge bases are growing towards a practically 'infinite' volume, Web- scale Knowledge Representation, Retrieval, and Reasoning (Web-KR) is becoming a real issue and an urgent task. Although the Web community has developed a number of knowledge representation languages and reasoning methods, when the volume goes Web-scale, existing approaches meet many challenging problems, such as scalability, inconsistency, uncertainty and dynamics. Hence, a unified approach to Web-KR needs to be developed.This workshop aims to bringing together researchers from Web research, Artificial Intelligence (AI), high performance computing, cognitive science, knowledge management, and machine learning to discuss all issues of Web-KR in a synergistic setting. The main themes for Web-KR 2013 are construction of Web-scale knowledge bases, semantic search and reasoning (both deductive an inductive) over Web-scale knowledge bases.
