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.)
