Special Issue of the Journal of Applied Ontology ''Meaning in Context:
ontologically and linguistically motivated representations of objects and
events.'' 
https://submissions.iospress.com/applied-ontology/CIM

Overview

Dealing with context is a key factor in the conceptualization of human
experience, and a major issue for understanding natural language. It is well
known that some properties of objects and events may have different cognitive
salience according to their context of occurrence, thus determining access to
partial relevant information rather than to all information. One typical
example is that of an orange being passed between two children, or the same
orange peeled on a table: in the former case the roundness prevails over other
traits, and the orange is being used to play; in the latter one, the edible
features are those mostly conveyed by the scene. Interpreting events poses
contextual challenges as well: (in how far) does a given event allow for
different interpretations, like it might happen for revenge/self defense?
Similar selectional mechanisms underlie figurative uses of word meanings, such
as metonymy and metaphors among others, that intrinsically characterize the
interface between knowledge and language. 

Relevant areas include, but are not limited to: events representation and
retrieval, event sequences, contextual features representation, trend
detection, knowledge discovery, word sense disambiguation, ontology alignment,
opinion mining and sentiment analysis, and conceptual similarity, among
others. All proposed approaches must address the issue of representation of
context, and suitable procedures to use context and context aware meaning
representations of objects and events. The ideal submission should provide
evidence that context improves the performance of systems on real-world
applications and/or provides useful insights and explanations on systems'
output.
