Dear Knowledge Graph enthusiasts,

We invite you to participate in the DMKG 2026 Workshop (https://dmkg-workshop.github.io/),which is colocated with ISWC 2026 on October 25/26 in Bari, Italy.

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together both early-stage and established researchers as well as industrial partners in order to facilitate communication and collaboration between partners in different domains on the issues relating to scalable data management techniques for large-scale knowledge graphs.

We seek contributions covering all aspects of data management for knowledge graphs, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

Storage and Management- Storing and indexing knowledge graphs- Partitioning knowledge graphs- Decentralized, distributed and federated knowledge graph storage- Graph databases and NoSQL- Archiving and versioning- Representing knowledge graphs using RDF 1.2

Analytics and Exploration- Knowledge graph validation (SHACL/shEx)- Graph schema discovery and exploration- Large-scale knowledge graph analytics (GraphX, Giraph, Pregel, ...)

Querying and Benchmarking- Efficient query processing- Distributed and federated querying over knowledge graphs- Querying over streaming graphs- Benchmarking data mangement systems for knowledge graphs- Querying knowledge graphs using SPARQL 1.2
