The Workshop and Tutorial Chairs for FOIS 2023 invite proposals
for workshops and tutorials to be held on site in conjunction
with FOIS 2023 before or after the main conference which will
take place July 17-20, 2023 in Sherbrooke, Canada (<a

href="https://iaoa.org/index.php/2022/11/17/fois-2023-call-for-paper/">https://iaoa.org/index.php/2022/11/17/fois-2023-call-for-paper/</a>).</p>
<p>Workshops and tutorials at FOIS 2023 are events whose
scientific program is independently established by the workshop
organizers. They will be responsible for advertising the
workshop and reviewing and selecting the contributions.
Workshops can be events that provide a forum for the discussion
of topics broadly related to ontologies, formal ontology, and
knowledge management and their application in information
science or other areas. Together, the workshops can address a
wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging
from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural
Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy,
and Linguistics. They are especially suitable for
interdisciplinary and innovative formats.<br>
</p>
<p>Previous JOWO (Joint Ontology Workshops)/FOIS workshops were
held in 2021 in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy (hybrid); 2020 (virtually);
2019 in Graz, Austria; 2018 in Cape Town, South Africa; 2017 in
Bolzano, Italy; 2016 in Annecy, France; and at IJCAI 2015 in
Buenos Aires, Argentina.<br>
</p>
<p>As in earlier years, all contributions to accepted workshops
will be published open access in a joint CEUR proceedings
volume, as part of the new IAOA series (<a
class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html">http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html</a>).<br>
Researchers and practitioners interested in the theory,
practice, development and/or application of ontologies and
related areas are invited to submit workshop proposals for
review.<br>
</p>
<p>We encourage several forms and length of workshops (the list is
non-exhaustive):<br>
● workshops that focus on an established research area,
including continuations of workshops that were held in the past;<br>
● workshops that focus on emerging topics and applications,
or on open research questions and challenges;<br>
● workshops that aim to create cross-disciplinary research
fostering exchange of ideas between groups otherwise mostly
disconnected.<br>
</p>
<p>Submission instructions<br>
</p>
<p>Proposals for workshops and tutorials should be no more than 2
pages in length, and must contain the following information:<br>
