Knowledge Graphs are gaining in popularity; their ability to merge and connect information from different domains has many applications. However, although the technology has been around for a while, it still does not present interfaces that are easy to use and understand. This workshop aims at bringing HCI and KG communities together to discuss how HCI methods could help identify and overcome the issues that keep Knowledge Graphs from better user interfaces.
