The
Personal Health Knowledge Graph Workshop

4 May 2021, Virtual

About The PHKG Workshop

About The Event

This workshop is co-located with the 2021 Knowledge Graph Conference.

We seek original contributions describing theoretical and practical methods and techniques for building and maintaining personal health knowledge graphs. The workshop will cover topics around data integration, data profiling, data curation, querying, knowledge discovery, ontology mapping, matching, reconciliation, machine learning approaches, and applications of personal health. We will have several invited speakers who are thought leaders in this space. Furthermore, we plan to have a panel discussion comprising experts from industry, government, and academia. In summary, the primary objectives of this workshop will be to provide a platform to discuss:

  • Definitions of personal health knowledge graphs
  • Opportunities for the application of personal health knowledge graphs
  • Challenges of creating and maintaining a personalized health knowledge graph
  • Opportunities for knowledge graph research in this space

Call for Extended Abstracts

We invite extended abstracts that include discussions related to the following topics.

  • Applications of personal health knowledge graphs
  • Models to encode the relevant information in a personal health knowledge graph
  • Perspectives on personal health
  • Interoperability aspects when integrating personal health data from disparate sources
  • Reasoning and querying over a personal health knowledge graph
  • Adaptively contextualizing personal health knowledge graphs
  • Techniques for keeping personal health knowledge graphs current
