Ontology evolution
Abstract: Unless considering ontologies as transcendental and perfect, they need to evolve. This may be because the world they represent evolves or the purpose they fulfill requires it. In general, what triggers evolution is the inadequacy of an ontology. Restoring it may be carried out by human designers or automatic means, but it is worthwhile that they follow rules. In this short presentation, we will discuss two techniques that may help evolving ontologies: belief revision and artificial cultural evolution. How they are different and how they are alike.

JOWO 2025 Call for Workshops

Leave a comment
JOWO 2025 Episode XI: The Sicilian Summer under the Etna
08-09 September 2025 (Catania, Italy) – co-located with FOIS 2025
The chairs for JOWO 2025 invite proposals for workshops to be held on-site in conjunction with FOIS 2025 which will take place September 8-12, 2025 in Catania, Italy.
The mission of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) is to facilitate collaboration among diverse communities interested in building, reasoning with, and applying formal ontologies in information sciences, artificial intelligence theory and applications, philosophy and cognitive science, and beyond.
As in earlier years, all contributions to accepted workshops will be published open access in a joint CEUR proceedings volume (unless opting out), within the IAOA series at CEUR (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html). This series is indexed by SCOPUS and DBLP.
============================
Call for workshop proposals
Workshop proposal submission deadline: 17 January 2025

  • Camera-ready submission: 1 September 2025
  • Workshop days: between 8-9 September 2025 (co-located with FOIS 2025)
We encourage several forms and lengths of workshops (the list is non-exhaustive):
  • Workshops that focus on an established research area, including continuations of workshops that were held in the past
  • Workshops that focus on emerging topics and applications, or on open research questions and challenges
  • Workshops that aim to create cross-disciplinary research fostering the exchange of ideas between groups otherwise mostly disconnected
  • Workshops that promote hands-on activities related to ontologies and their applications

ESAO seminars

Leave a comment

Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) — upcoming seminars:
(for all information relative to ESAO, click on the link above)

* December 17th, 2024

Speakers:

** Chris Partridge, BORO Solutions Limited and University of Westminster, UK

Title of the talk: Extending the design space of ontologization practices: Using bCLEARer as an example

Abstract: The aim of this seminar is to suggest that the design space for the ontologization process is richer than current practice would suggest. That it is possible to open the space up to a range of radically new practices. This consciously builds upon the notion that engineering processes as well as products need to be designed. We provide evidence for the new practices from our work over the last three decades with an outlier methodology, bCLEARer. We also provide some contextual scaffolding for a perspective that we have found we needed to better understand the nature of these new practices. This is an evolutionary perspective which sees digitalization (the evolutionary emergence of computing technologies) as part of the latest step in a long evolutionary trail of information transitions. And sees ontologization as a tool for exploiting the emerging opportunities offered by digitalization.

 

** Maria Keet, University of Cape Town, South Africa.

Title of the talk: Competency questions.

Abstract: Competency Questions (CQs) for ontologies were initially proposed as a way to assist with scoping of an ontology’s content requirements for ontology development, but gradually have been taking up more diverse uses, including ontology validation and reuse, and as part of test-driven development of ontologies. Since authoring CQs is perceived as an arduous and error-prone task, research efforts have gone into automated writing assistance, the notion of what good and bad CQs are, and their formalisation into OWL and SPARQL queries. This ESAO webinar will cover CQ foundations and recent advances in research on CQs for ontologies.

Tuesday December 17th, 2024 14:00 UTC / 16:00 CET / 16:00 SAST (more local times)
