      <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">This year we
          organised a special workshop session on <b>Ontology for

      <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">The aim of the
          workshop is to explore the connections between applied
          ontology and the theory-in-action (Schon, 1983; Gergen,
          Zielke, 2006; Dick, et al. 2009) space of design (e.g. design
          theory) and planning (e.g. multi-agent planning,
          organizational theory) frameworks. The workshop focuses on the
          fields of architecture, design, engineering, management where
          applied ontology methodologies can help to develop a cognitive
          framework for the theory-in-action approach by disambiguating
          the terminology and allowing the principled organization of
          complex knowledge.</span></p>
      <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">Ontology,
          understood as the general theory of types of entities and
          relations making up a domain of inquiry, provides a solid
          foundation for modeling and using heterogeneous knowledge. In
          the last few years, a variety of research results have
          outlined that design ontology and space ontology (geography,
          environment, places and regions as life settlements, urban
          resilience achievements) are structurally and organizationally
          linked. In this vein, efforts to develop operational
          ontologies in these domains (e.g. individual and/or social,
          artificial and/or natural) should be compared and integrated
          to produce effective and multi-perspective theory-in-action
          frames. Our main purpose is to solicit works aiming to elicit
          and highlight the richness of possibilities that the
          ontological approach makes accessible in design and in
          planning processes.</span></p>
