Series Description
——————

The IAOA [3] has created ESAO [1], an 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) [4] (for the next ISAO edition during July 10-14, 2023, please see [5]). 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

Are you ready for a fiesta in ontology education?! You’re welcome to join


ISAO 2023 on July 10-14
University of Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada
(in person only, no online participation)

ISAO website:   https://fois2023.griis.ca/isao-2023/

The Interdisciplinary School on Applied Ontology (ISAO) is the premier educational forum for acquiring and deepening knowledge in ontology – its foundations, applications, and interconnections with related areas. In 2023, it features at least Michael Gruninger, Nicola Guarino, Giancarlo Guizzardi, Robert Hoehndorf, Maria Keet, Oliver Kutz and Barry Smith as facilitators.

As of April 11, 2023, the subsequent news apply.

Fee schedule available

The fees are valid and payable in CAD. (**) To indicate them in EUR/USD, they have been approximated assuming 0.70 EUR/0.75 USD per 1 CAD (and rounding up).

The fee structure distinguishes between

  • 3 attendee categories (on the left):
       student – academic – industry(/business/society)
  • 2 attendance periods (*) (on the right):
       5 days (Mon-Fri, July 10-14) – last 2 days (Thu-Fri, July 13-14)
  • 2 registration phases (the two columns in the middle):
       early (by Sun, June 11) – late (from Mon, June 12 on)

which yields, with one sub table per currency (named in the upper-left, yellow corners):

Image version of ISAO 2023 fee structureRegistration opens soon, with the early registration deadline set to Sun, June 11.

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

* 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.

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

January 2023 newsletter

Leave a comment

Dear IAOA members,

it is with great sadness that we have to report that our friend and colleague Peter Yim passed away. Peter was one of the founding members of the IAOA in 2009 and immediately joined its Executive Council, in which he served until 2012. Many of you will also know Peter as the founder and co-convener of the Ontolog Forum. In addition, Peter was also one of the initiators of the Ontology Summit, which he co-organised every year until his retirement. In order to honour his pivotal role in organising and growing the ontology community, Peter was awarded the first “Peter Yim Award for outstanding service in support of Ontological Engineering” by the IAOA in 2014 (see picture below).

Working with Peter was a pleasure. Peter’s enthusiasm for ontology was infectious, and he was a marvel at bringing people together and facilitating a stimulating and productive discourse. He will be sorely missed.

Because the new year started, the result of last year’s election became effective and the membership of the Executive Council changed. We would like to thank Laure Vieu, Amanda Vizedom, and Ken Baclawski for their contributions as members of the EC, and welcome our new members Guendalina Righetti, Tiago Prince Sales, and Boyan Brodaric. Further, we would like to congratulate Oliver Kutz, who was elected as new IAOA president. Fabian Neuhaus was elected as Vice President, Frank Loebe and Megan Katsumi were elected as Secretaries, and Torsten Hahmann was appointed as Treasurer.

Below you find the news and announcements of our January 2023 newsletter. If you have information that we should include in our next newsletter, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best,

The Executive Council of the IAOA
