<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">The International
Workshop on Ontologies and Conceptual Modelling (Onto.com) is hosted at the
12th International Conference on<a href="https://fois2021.inf.unibz.it"><span style="color:blue"> Formal Ontology in Information Systems</span></a> in
Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. OntoCom2021 concerns the practical and formal application
of ontologies to conceptual modelling.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:Cambria"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">While models pervade the
information systems lifecycle from requirements to implementation, there
appears to be a lack of theoretical foundation in the way that models are
developed. As a result it is quite common for practitioners, even working
together, to produce different representations of the same real-world domain or
system. Conversely, a preferred approach would be one in which IS practitioners
have the necessary conceptual tools to enable them to accurately represent the
things that exist in the real world. Foundational or upper ontologies have the
potential to resolve the difficult problems that derive from a lack of a
consistent and sound ontological theory. The benefits that can derive from the
application of a foundational ontology include improved mapping to the real
world domain, increased level of communication and understanding among
stakeholders, model reuse, semantic integration and interoperability and
increased overall efficiency and effectiveness of information systems
development and evolution. OntoCom is intended to be highly interactive and
bring together academics and practitioners interested in foundational
ontologies and their meta-ontological choices.<span></span></span></p>
