Ontology Summit 2023

==========================================================

* Title: Helping scientific researchers make better use of ontologies: Tools, Methods and Best Practices

In this Summit we will ask how to help scientists & researchers make better use of ontologies, and look for answers from a variety of perspectives. The first half of the Summit will draw examples from the Open Bio Ontologies (OBO) community, followed by a panel to discuss and help digest issues raised in the first half. Following this the second half branches out to other communities, disciplines and practices such as modular approaches to ontology development.

Careers in Ontology: An Interview with Professor Barry Smith

Leave a comment

In this interview, the Blog’s Philosophy and Technology Series Editor Charlie Taben interviews Barry Smith, who is a Distinguished Julian Park Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Computer Science and Engineering, and Neurology at the University at Buffalo. They discuss new private and public sector jobs in a burgeoning ontological sector, involving the commercial and industrial applications of ontology across diverse industries. They also explore the evolution of the field and how philosophers are ideally suited for these tech-driven positions.

Title: Using Abduction to Explain Missing Entailments in OWL Ontologies
Patrick Koopmann, TU Dresden

Abstract: With increasing complexity, understanding and debugging ontologies becomes a challenging task without the appropriate tool support. In particular, inferences performed by a reasoner may not always be straight-forward, meaning they may produce entailments that we did not expect, or fail to produce entailments that we did expect. While there are different techniques to explain entailments, this talk focusses on the problem of explaining why something does not follow from the ontology. In particular, we explain how abduction may be used towards solving this issue, and discuss challenges and solutions for performing abduction in practice.

Series Description
——————
The IAOA [2] has created ESAO, a new educational effort directed towards topics of Applied Ontology, primarily established basics and foundations.

The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied Ontology (ISAO) [3] (whose next edition will be held in 2023). ESAO is complementary in format and its overall approach. The goal is to provide a combination of an archive of educational material (e.g., short video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and discussing that material.

Organization
————
Members of the Education Technical Committee of IAOA [2] and among those primarily (in alphabetical order):

* Lucía Gómez Álvarez
* Frank Loebe
* Sandra Lovrenčić
* Cassia Trojahn (Chair)
* Laure Vieu
