First ESAO Webinar<br>
November 9th, 11:00-12:00 EST, 17:00-18:00 CET<br>
<br>
<br>
Description<br>
-----------<br>
<br>
The IAOA [1] has created the Educational Series on Applied
Ontology (ESAO) [2], a new educational effort directed towards
topics of Applied Ontology, primarily established basics and
foundations.<br>
<br>
The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied
Ontology (ISAO) (whose next edition will be in 2023 [3]). ESAO is
complementary in format and its overall approach. The goal is to
provide a combination of archive educational material (e.g. short
video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and
discussing that material.<br>
<br>
The ESAO Series is open for all and welcomes students, researchers
and practitioners alike. The launch event for this new series [4]
was held at the second Bolzano Summer of Knowledge (BoSK 2021),
with seven webinar sessions according to the new format on a
single day.<br>
<br>
--> The first of the regular webinar sessions will be held
on<br>
November 9th, 11:00-12:00 EST, 17:00-18:00 CET, online.<br>
<br>
No registration needed, the Zoom link will be published
soon.<br>

Program<br>
-------<br>
<br>
* 11:00-11:30 EST, 17:00-17:30 CET<br>
<br>
Adrien Barton, Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse
(IRIT) - CNRS, France<br>
"Ontological realism: A philosophical overview"<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
Some applied ontologies explicitly adhere to a position named
“ontological realism”. In this presentation, I will locate
“ontological realism” within the landscape of the various forms of
realism that have been proposed in metaphysics and philosophy of
science, among which Platonic realism, Aristotelian realism,
scientific realism, entity realism and structural realism.<br>
<br>
* 11:30-12:00 EST, 17:30-18:00 CET<br>
<br>
Lars Vogt, Leibniz Information Center for Science & Technology
(TIB), Germany<br>
"Boundaries and natural units"<br>
<br>
Abstract:<br>
I will present the concept of bona fide and fiat boundaries and
review the problems involved with this approach for demarcating
natural units, with examples from the life sciences, focussing on
issues revolving around granularity and frames of reference. I
will then introduce an alternative approach that focusses on the
concept of causal unity.<br>
