Meeting Description:
The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in
formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of
entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern
information systems. The conference encourages submission of high quality, not
previously published results on both theoretical issues and practical
advancements. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues,
ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies.
FOIS aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for
researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common
application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge
engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling,
artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life
sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic
information science, information retrieval, library and information science,
as well as the Semantic Web.
FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology
and its Applications (IAOA: http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit
organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international
collaboration in formal ontology.
Topics of interest
Areas of particular interest to FOIS include the following:
Foundational Issues
- Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents,
abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural
objects/artifacts, events/processes
- Formal relations: parthood, identity, connection, dependence, constitution,
causality, subsumption, instantiation
- Vagueness and granularity
- Space, time, and change
Methodological issues
- Top-level vs. domain-specific ontologies
- Role of reference ontologies
- Ontology similarity, integration, alignment, matching and entity
reconciliation
- Ontology modularity, patterns, and contextuality
- Ontology evaluation, quality, reuse, adaptation, and evolution
- Ontology compliance with FAIR principles
- Formal comparison among ontologies
- Relationship between conceptual modeling and ontologies
- Relationship with cognition, language, semantics, and context
- Connections between knowledge graphs and ontologies
- Methodological issues in the applications of ontologies
- Social issues, such as trust or bias, with respect to ontologies
Applications
* Technical applications of ontologies, such as
- Semantic Web
- Other areas of AI (Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Rules)
- Qualitative modeling
* Systems applications of ontologies, such as
- Ontology-driven information systems design
- Ontology-based data access
- Knowledge management
- Information retrieval
- Computational linguistics
- Metadata management
* Domain applications of ontologies, such as
- Ontologies for business modeling
- Ontologies for particular scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry,
geography, physics, geoscience, cognitive sciences, linguistics, etc.)
- Ontologies for engineering: shape, form and function, artifacts,
manufacturing, design, architecture, etc.
- Ontologies for the humanities: arts, cultural studies, history, literature,
philosophy, etc.
- Ontologies for the social sciences: economics, law, political science,
anthropology, archeology, etc.
- Ontologies for Open Science and dataset sharing
* Domain-specific ontologies
- Ontology of physical reality (matter, space, time, motion, etc.)
- Ontology of biological reality (organisms, genes, proteins, cells, etc.)
- Ontology of mental reality and agency (beliefs, intentions, emotions,
perceptions, cognition, etc.)
- Ontology of artifacts, functions, capacities and roles
- Ontology of social reality (institutions, organizations, norms, social
relationships, artistic expressions, etc.)

The submission deadline for workshops will be after the notifications to allow
authors to submit a revised version of rejected papers to any of the
conference workshops if the paper topics are appropriate for this workshop.
Submissions
==========
FOIS 2023 seeks three types of full-length (14 pages) high-quality papers on a
wide range of topics:
Foundational papers address content-related ontological issues, their formal
representation, and their relevance to some aspect of information systems.
Application and Methods papers address novel systems, methods, and tools
related to building, evaluating, or using ontologies, emphasizing the impact
of ontology contents.
Domain ontology papers describe a novel ontology for a specific realm of
interest, clarifying ontological choices against requirements and foundational
theory, and showing ontology use.
Please refer to the submission instructions for more details. As usual, the
FOIS proceedings will be published by IOS Press.
