This is a summary of the First International Workshop on Users and Knowledge Graphs (UKG) co-located with the 21st International Conference on Semantic Systems (SEMANTiCS). Knowledge graphs (KGs) have emerged as a powerful paradigm for representing and managing complex information, underpinning numerous applications from search engines to personalized recommendations. However, the true potential of KGs can only be realized when users efectively utilize them. While the technical aspects of KG construction and reasoning have seen significant advancements, the human element often remains underexplored. Many KGs, despite their rich semantic structure, are not readily accessible or understandable to their intended users. This disconnect can hinder the adoption and efective use of KGs in various domains.
