The goal of the PIKM workshop is two-fold: First, we want to give doctoral students an opportunity to present their work in an early state to a global audience. This allows the students to receive feedback from reviewers, from fellow students and from the general CIKM audience. Second, we believe that the database research community, too, benefits from such a workshop: PhD theses are the grassroots of research. They point out new research avenues and provide fresh viewpoints from the researchers of tomorrow.

  To encourage helpful and profound reviews, the PIKM also rewards the best reviewer. This year's award goes to Sebastian Riedel (University College London)! Congratulations!
• Workshop Report
  A workshop report containing an overview of the individual research projects presented at PIKM 2007, PIKM 2008, PIKM 2010, and PIKM 2012 were published in the ACM SIGIR Forum Journal, the ACM SIGKDD Explorations, and the ACM SIGMOD Records, respectively. It is expected that such a report will also emerge from PIKM 2013, for publication in 2014.

Out of 13 submissions, 6 papers were accepted
