JUNE 2021 – NEWSLETTER

Leave a comment

Dear IAOA members,

Herewith you receive the June newsletter on events that cover research in ontology (conferences, workshops, etc.) or are associated with IAOA (e.g., meetings of Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and Committees). These newsletters inform you about upcoming events and their corresponding deadlines. They may also include short reports of interesting past events, for example, by IAOA members who attended them. The planned frequency of the newsletters ranges from monthly to bi-monthly. This service complements the calendars of events [1] and deadlines [2], which we run for gathering event information. Please notice that such calendars are now easily accessible from the right sidebar of the landing page of the IAOA website [3] and from the Events page [4].

Should you have any further suggestions, comments or questions on this service, please let us know by writing to the Association [5] or publicly to the membership [6].

Should you be aware of events that you wish to be added to the calendar, you may write to [7].

Sincerely,

IAOA Executive Council

CFP – The Joint Ontology Workshops – JOWO 2021

Leave a comment

In conjunction with FOIS 2021 online and hybrid (in Bolzano, Italy)
—
JOWO 2021 invites submissions to six featured workshops:

– CAOS V: Cognition And OntologieS
– FOMI 2021: Workshop on Formal Ontology meets Industry
– FOUST V: Workshop on Foundational Ontology
– OntoCom 2021: Workshop on Ontologies and Conceptual Modelling
– ROBONTICS 2021: Ontologies for Autonomous Robotics
– SoLEE 2021: Ontology of Social, Legal and Economic Entities

The tentative deadline for submissions is: July 3, 2021

Please refer to the individual workshops for detailed submission instructions and any deadlines changes.

All workshops will take place between September 11 and 18, 2021, either as hybrid or fully virtual events.The scientific programs are independently established by the workshop organizers. Together, the JOWO workshops address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics. The workshop organizers also make decisions on the specifics of the workshop format (hybrid or fully virtual).

June SWAO Monthly Report

Leave a comment
The Semantic Web Applied Ontology (SWAO) Special Interest Group is working to develop a set of guidelines and explanatory documents regarding ontologies. Members of the SIG have prepared overviews of the various purposes and landscapes in which ontologies are developed and used (for example, in semantic application use cases, or for data integration, AI enhancement and explainability, and business knowledge representation), learnings from lexicography, and how ontologies can provide formal definitions of a domain’s concepts, relationships and facts. Within the SIG, there has been much discussion of different approaches to ontology articulation (e.g., how and why an ontology is defined) and its communication. These discussions have addressed ontology purpose and intended audience, various methods of communication (e.g., RDFS, OWL, OWL with rules, Common Logic, etc. or perhaps simple spreadsheets), ability to reuse and maintain ontologies, and much more. The goal of the work is to create a paper articulating the diversity of approaches used in ontology development and its expression. This paper should be available later this year.
