This second edition of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO-16)
combines five exciting ontology-centered workshops at FOIS-16. <br
class="">
<br class="">
WORKSHOPS:<br class="">
<br class="">
- Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and Evolution (WOMoCoE 2016)<br
class="">
- Computer vision + ONTology: Applied Cross-disciplinary
Technologies (CONTACT 2016)<br class="">
- Cognition and Ontologies (CAOS 2016)<br class="">
- New Standards for the Working Ontologist: Common Logic and DOL
(NSWO 2016)<br class="">
- Ontologies and Conceptual Modeling (<a href="http://onto.com"
class="">Onto.Com</a> 2016)<br class="">
<br class="">
JOWO-16 is supported by the International Association for Ontology
and its Applications - IAOA. It features a series of (shared)
invited talks, paper presentations, and discussions spread across
five full-day workshops and tutorials.<br class="">

International Workshop on Ontology Modularity, Contextuality, and
Evolution<br class="">
==================================<br class="">
<br class="">
Organisers: Stefano Borgo, Loris Bozzato, Chiara Del Vescovo, Martin
Homola<br class="">
<br class="">
This workshop brings together two long standing event series: WoMO,
the workshops on modular ontology, and ARCOE, the workshops on
automated reasoning on context and ontology evolution. The goal is
to discuss these topics in a single venue and try to
compare/integrate the new ideas on ontology modularity, context and
evolution. The workshop is open to theoretical and application
research, experiences and innovative visions featuring a Program
Committee with a mix of experienced and young groundbreaking people.
WOMOCoE will feature an invited talk by Jerome Euzenat.<br class="">

Second International Workshop on Computer vision + ONTology: <br
class="">
Applied Cross-disciplinary Technologies<br class="">
==================================<br class="">
<br class="">
Organisers: Marco Cristani, Céline Hudelot, Daniele Porello<br
class="">
<br class="">
The aim of the CONTACT series is to bring together a wide range of
researchers in formal ontology on the one side and computer vision
and machine learning on the other, to share innovative ideas and
solutions for exploiting the potential synergies emerging from the
integration of the two domains. The problem of image and video
understanding is a complex task that benefits from a
multi-disciplinary perspective. CONTACT provides a venue to discuss
a principled methodology to ascribe meaning to images and videos, as
well as the applications of this methodology to querying image
databases, reasoning about images and scenes, inferring information
from videos.<br class="">
<br class="">

First International Workshop on Cognition and Ontologies<br class="">
==================================<br class="">
<br class="">
Organisers: Maria M. Hedblom, Tarek R. Besold, Oliver Kutz, Tony
Veale<br class="">
<br class="">
CAOS is for researchers interested in discussing cognitive
mechanisms and phenomena from an ontological perspective. Work on
artificial intelligence, cognitive systems, applied ontology,
natural language processing, reasoning, formal concept invention,
and philosophical aspects of the former are the main focus of the
workshop. (Still, all other topics relating cognition and ontology
are of course equally welcome.) We especially encourage submissions
on different theories of cognition, work addressing the symbol
grounding problem(s), and attempts to make concrete the abstract
nature of concepts and metaphors. <br class="">
CAOS will feature an invited talk by Jean M. Mandler. Join us!<br

New Standards for the Working Ontologist: Common Logic and DOL <br
class="">
==================================<br class="">
<br class="">
Organisers: Michael Gruninger, Oliver Kutz, Till Mossakowski, Fabian
Neuhaus<br class="">
<br class="">
NSWO 2016 will be entirely devoted to two new standards in the realm
of applied ontology: the second revision of Common Logic and the new
Distributed Ontology, Model, and Specification Language, DOL. NSWO
will provide tutorials introducing syntax and semantics of both
Common Logic and DOL. We will be discussing a number of modelling
and interoperability problems that can be addressed with these
standards, analyse the mostly complementary relationship between
Common Logic and DOL, and demonstrate available tools. NSWO also
invites contributed scientific papers involving Common Logic and/or
DOL.<br class="">

Ontologies and Conceptual Modeling<br class="">
==================================<br class="">
<br class="">
Organisers: Giancarlo Guizzardi, Sergio de Cesare, Frederik Gailly,
Mark Lycett, Chris Partridge, Oscar Pastor<br class="">
<br class="">
This year the theme of <a href="http://onto.com" class="">Onto.Com</a> will
be Foundational Ontologies and their Meta-ontological Choices.
Leading ontologists and conceptual modelers will be invited to
discuss and comparatively analyze different foundational ontologies,
their meta-ontological choices and their associated modeling
processes. The workshop will be practically oriented and discussions
will be centered on models produced for a common case study. This
will facilitate discussions related to the consequences of making
different meta-ontological choices.<br class="">
