SAGE 2026

Knowledge graphs, ontologies, constraints, provenance, and reasoning offer mature foundations for governed AI systems. SAGE 2026 focuses on how these semantic technologies can be architected end-to-end with explainability and governance built in, not added later.

Topics of interest include:

• Semantic architectures for governed inference pipelines.
  
• Policy-aware and compliance-driven knowledge graph systems.
  
• Constraint validation (including SHACL-based validation).
  
• Provenance-aware reasoning and evidence traceability.
  
• Hybrid symbolic-neural and LLM+KG reasoning workflows.
  
• Explainability grounded in semantic representations.
  
• Evaluation beyond accuracy: robustness, provenance completeness, and policy alignment.
  
• Industrial and public-sector use cases in regulated domains.
  
  Author Guidelines:
  
• Full paper: 12-15 pages.
  
• Short paper: 5-8 pages.
  
• Extended abstract: 2-4 pages.
  
• Submissions should follow conference formatting requirements and be submitted in PDF.
  
• Accepted papers are expected to be presented at the workshop and included in workshop proceedings.
  
• All submissions must be made through EasyChair: Link is here!
  
• For SAGE 2026 submissions, authors should follow the SEMANTiCS 2026 formatting requirements, which use the IOS Press guidelines. The conference website states that authors should use the IOS Press Word or LaTeX template, and submissions should be in PDF format.
