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.

This half-day event is the fourth workshop in the series on Definitions in
Ontologies held in conjunction with the International Conference on Biomedical
Ontologies (ICBO). The workshop is focused on definition writing, evaluation,
revision strategies, methodologies, and tools.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
