“O’FAIRe: Ontology FAIRness Evaluator in the AgroPortal semantic resource repository”

Abstract: O’FAIRe, the Ontology FAIRness Evaluator, is a methodology to automatically assess to which level a semantic resource or ontology respects the FAIR Principles. This talk will present the online tool implementing O’FAIRe within the AgroPortal ontology repository, through 61 questions/tests, among 80% are based on the ontology metadata description. For a specific ontology or a group of semantic resources, O’FAIRe web service outputs both global and detailed scores (normalized) against the 15 FAIR Principles. O’FAIRe results are visualized and explained with new specific user-friendly interfaces (such as the FAIRness wheel) in order to help AgroPortal users improve the FAIRness of their resources. O’FAIRe is currently implemented in three different public ontology repositories as they offer the required metadata descriptions. In the future, we will deploy the service in other OntoPortal repositories.

Series Description
——————

The IAOA [2] has created ESAO [1], 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.

JOWO 2022 – Report from Jönköping

On the morning of the 15th of August 2022, Jönköping University opened the doors to for the first time in Sweden host The Joint Ontology Workshops – Episode VIII: The Svear Summer of Ontology. In the five days that followed, scientists and practitioners interested in ontology gathered to share their latest research, discuss fundamental problems and network under the Swedish summer sun. 

 

Taking place as a stand-alone event, JOWO’22 was chosen to be held predominantly on-site to, once again, try to reduce the distance between scientists and research disciplines after the covid-pandemic had made everything feel so far away. However, since “hybrid is the new black”, the event live-streamed the full scientific content to offer remote participants a chance to join the fun from the distance of their choosing. In the end, the combination resulted in just over 50 participants joining on-site and some 70 participants came and went on the virtual platform.

 

During the full event week (15-19th of August), JOWO’22 ran two parallel sessions to provide enough time for the contributing workshops and tutorials to run their individual programs. The scientific program consisted of seven workshops, three tutorials, three shared keynotes and one panel debate, all carefully puzzled into a schedule that, to the best of our ability, ensured that the participants could participate in as many of workshops/tutorials of their choosing.

 

The list of workshops consisted of a few JOWO classics like the sixth editions of CAOS VI: Cognition And OntologieS IV” and ”FOUST VI: Foundational Ontology,” as well as ”IFOW III: The Integrated Food Ontology Workshop” and ”RobOntics III: Ontologies for Autonomous Robotics” which celebrated their third editions at JOWO’22. More impressive still, was to see that the impact of the ontology community is growing in different application areas as demonstrated in how several new ontology workshops were present in this year’s edition. Covering ever-relevant topics such as environmental concern, knowledge diversity and social services the newcomings were: Ensusto: Energy, Materials and Sustainability Ontology Workshop,” “FMKD: First Workshop on Formal Models of Knowledge Diversity” and OSS: Ontologies for Social Services.” 

 

The participants were also offered the chance to further extend their ontology-focused skillset by participating in three tutorials of different scientific characters. First, He Tan held a semantic web tutorial on “Knowledge Graphs.” Then Tiago Prince Sales, Joao Paolo A. Almeida and Giancarlo Guizzardi organised a tutorial on how to “Implement Better Ontologies with gUFO.” Finally, the intersection between ontological modelling and linguistic research was investigated in the tutorial “Generating Text from Ontologies in Multiple Languages” organised by Maria Keet and Zola Mahlaza.

 

The scientific highlights of the event were, however, the presentations of the three shared keynotes. First up was Janna Hastings (University of Zurich/University of St. Gallen) who promoted ontology research in the setting of recent computer technologies in her talk “Ontologies in the age of deep learning.” This was followed by a talk by Peter Gärdenfors (University of Lund) who presented selected parts of his paradigm-shifting research on “Conceptual spaces, event structure and cognitive ontology.” The final keynote speaker, invited as part of the FMKD workshop, was Sebastian Rudolph (Technical University Dresden) who took the opportunity to build on Gärdenfors’ research and presented a more formal theory of knowledge representation in his talk “The Matrix Has You – Toward Compositional Conceptual Spaces.”

 

Another scientific highlight was the panel experiment “A Foustian Struggle” organised as part of the FOUST VI workshop. Here some of the founders of the seven (perhaps) most famous foundational ontologies were positioned against one another in a battle of how best to model particular scenarios. It was a fast-pasted intellectual battle that left both the audience and the participants wanting more. 

 

Yet, scientific excellence is nothing without an opportunity to promote the conducted research and to ground it into meaningful connections. Thus, to take advantage of the on-site conference setting, JOWO’22 consisted of a rich social program that encouraged communication between both newcomers and returning members. During the conference’s cookie-overflowing coffee breaks (in Sweden it is considered rude to offer less than 7 types of cookies) the participants could get to know one another by, for instance, playing “Networking BINGO.” The conference extracurricular activities on the social program consisted of a conference reception with Swedish “skumpa och smörgåstårta,” a BBQ on the beach, a half day along Vättern that included not only a nature hike but a trip to the twelfth-century industry village Röttle and the Swedish candy-capital Gränna. However, the social highlight was without a doubt the conference dinner that set in between the medieval armours at the old country inn Gyllene Uttern provided the participants with the extraordinary panorama of the rainbow-coloured sunset as day turned into night over the second largest lake in Sweden. 

 

The success of the event was the direct result of the hard work of everyone involved. As general chairs, we would like to say a warm thank you to the JOWO’22 organisation, all the workshop and tutorial chairs, the members of the program committees, the contributing authors and presenters, as well as to the audience. We hope that you all learned something new and that you had as much fun as we did!

 Maria M. Hedblom and He Tan

“Where am I? Spatial knowledge in ontologies”

Abstract: Many of the things we describe in ontologies are objects or processes located in physical space. Examples of questions with a location or other spatial component include: Where is the start of the trail? What is the address I need to go to? Where again did I put my keys? How large is the property? Where is the conference happening? Where did you see the whale? To capture such spatial information, ontologies provide a variety of mechanisms that range from vague, qualitative descriptions (e.g. “after the bridge”, “on my desk”, “in the Gulf of Maine”), to more precise locations (“947 Broadway”, “Sherbrooke (QC)”) or even quantitative description (“1km East from here”, “400 sq m”). This talk will take the listener through different ways that are available to describe space and locations that range from concepts provided by top-level ontologies to more specialized spatial and geospatial ontologies for the Semantic Web.

“The role of ontologies in data science in support of discovery research”

Abstract: Data science encompasses a wide range of methods which aim to interpret and extract meaning, and new knowledge, from data. For data-driven discovery research, the quality and suitability of the statistical approaches are usually the focus of efforts to derive new knowledge, while ontologies are assumed to be relevant mainly for purposes of standardisation and exchange of existing knowledge, i.e. subsequent to the discovery process. In this presentation, I will discuss the role of ontologies and other pre-existing formal representations of knowledge in the science of making new discoveries from data, why this role is often overlooked, and how this might change as the science of the future becomes better integrated between humans and machines. I will illustrate with some examples taken from different domains: metabolism and behaviour.

Title: “The theory of variable embodiment and the modeling of organisational change”

Abstract: How can organisations survive not only the substitution of members, but also other dramatic changes, like that of the norms regulating their activities, the goals they plan to achieve, or the system of roles that compose them? These are some of the classical questions an ontology of organisations should be able to answer. I will briefly present Kit Fine’s notions of rigid and variable embodiment and propose an integration aimed at addressing the issue of re-identification of organisations through change.

* 10:30-11:00 EDT / 14:30-15:00 UTC / 16:30-17:00 CEST/SAST

Paweł Garbacz

Title: “Applied ontologies as evolving artifacts. Why and how should you take care of managing ontology development?”

Abstract: If you think of an applied ontology as a dynamic informational artefact that is being developed over time, then you might want to consider a framework which would allow you to track the history of its lifecycle, test the changes it undergoes, and control its quality. These challenges are similar to challenges faced in bog-standard software development. In my presentation, I will show how the well-known software tools, including Continuous Integration platforms, version control systems, testing platforms, and review workflows, may address these challenges.

**Series Description**

The IAOA [2] has created ESAO [1], 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.
