International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP)*

The biennial International Conference On Knowledge Capture (K-CAP), formerly the Knowledge Acquisition Workshop (KAW) series ¹⁾, is providing a forum that brings together members of disparate research communities that are interested in efficiently capturing knowledge from a variety of sources and in creating representations that can be useful for reasoning, analysis, and other forms of machine processing.

K-CAP is held alternately with EKAW – the International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management. The conference series is sponsored by the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence.
