Meeting Description:

Fourth International Workshop on Definitions in Ontologies (IWOOD 2016)

Held in conjunction with the International Conference on Biological Ontologies
(ICBO 2016) in Corvallis, Oregon, from August 1 to 4, 2016. 

Website: http://sites.google.com/site/defsinontos2016/home

Definitions of terms in ontologies serve a number of purposes. For example,
logical definitions allow reasoners to assist in and verify classification,
lessening the development burden and enabling expressive query. Natural
language definitions can help ameliorate low inter-annotator agreement. Good
definitions allow for non-experts and experts in adjacent disciplines to
understand unfamiliar terms making it possible to confidently use terms in
external ontologies, facilitating data integration. The workshop is focused on
definition writing, evaluation, revision strategies, methodologies, and tools.
