The event is placed in between the 4th Interdisciplinary School on Applied Ontology, ISAO 2018 ( http://isao2018.cs.uct.ac.za/ - 10-14 September 2018), and the 10th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems, FOIS 2018 ( http://fois2018.cs.uct.ac.za - 17-21 September 2018). Following the 2017 edition, the goal of the 2018 edition of DAO-SI is to provide opportunities for stakeholders from the academia, industry and public organisations to present their latest developments in ontology-mediated data integration, data access and analysis techniques, and data-driven applications, with a special focus on Science and Innovation (S&I) data management for decision and policy-making. Currently, key S&I data elements are dispersed across a multitude of distinct agencies and research institutions or are in third-party databases. They are often neither in structured format nor systematically shared across organisations, and the universe of data on publications, citations, and patents (among others) is typically maintained into closed-off silos. In such a context, ontology-mediated data management infrastructures can help bringing together inputs and outcomes from a variety of sources in an open and interoperable fashion. The workshop will be a great opportunity to synthesise new insights and disseminate knowledge across field boundaries to promote the interaction between the different stakeholders. We welcome original contributions, in the form of discussion papers, experimental contributions, system and demo descriptions, about data management applications that make use of ontologies and ontology-based tools for S&I decision and policy-making, including but not limited to: *Ontology-based systems for Open Science and Open Innovation (OS&OI)* - Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) ontology specification and management: open issues and experiences - Ontology-based harmonisation of STI Subject Classification Systems - Ontologies for STI qualitative data management (e.g., policy instruments, target populations, technology sector coverage, surveys and policies assessment) - Machine learning and ontology engineering coupling experiences to improve quantity and quality of STI indicators - Ontology-mediated data management platforms for impact evaluation *Tools supporting the development of ontology-mediated data access* - Mapping specifications - Inspection and Debugging *Usability, Data access for non-technical users* - Exploratory tools over RDF-based repositories for non-technical users - User context-sensitive data interlinking and personalisation - Usability and acceptance by stakeholders in the OS&OI ecosystems *Methods and techniques for RDF-based data analytics* - Innovative solutions for publishing statistical and multi-dimensional STI data - RDF-based analytics framework for STI studies - STI Data science and semantic technologies *Submission Guidelines* Papers must be submitted in PDF format and must follow the IOS Press FOIS formatting guidelines, available on the iopress.nl website (https://www.iospress.nl/service/authors/latex-and-word-tools-for-book-authors/). Submissions should not be longer than 14 pages. Moreover, to be published in the CEUR proceedings, a paper must contain at least 5 pages. All submissions are made through the JOWO 2018 Easychair, selecting the Data meets Applied Ontologies in Open Science and Innovation (DAO-SI) track. https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2018 Demos of accepted demo descriptions will be presented at the workshop and their descriptions will be published in the JOWO proceedings (as CEUR workshop proceedings ? see previous editions: http://www.iaoa.org/jowo/).

Part of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2018), a pool of satellite events held at the 10th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS 2018). Submission deadline: June 25, 2018 The aim of KODeP 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).The workshop focuses on the fields of architecture and engineering 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 management of complex knowledge. 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. Our purpose is to solicit works that elicit and highlight the richness of possibilities that the ontological approach makes accessible in design and in planning processes. In the last few years a variety of research results have outlined that design ontology (architecture, engineering) and space ontology (environment, places and regions as life settlements) are structurally and organizationally linked. In this vein, efforts to develop sound 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. *Topics* Important relations arise between foundational and applied ontologies and the above cited knowledge domains. Among the other issues relevant to the FOIS conference the workshop pays attention to the following ones: - the relation between natural objects/artifacts in dealing with complex environmental systems; space and time interaction in dealing with the making of a city or of a design object; - the relation among cognition, natural and/or formal language, and semantics in complex agent-based systems like environmental/urban systems; - ontology of mental agency as support to decision processes in design and planning; - knowledge management; ontology in design; - ontologies in specific science or professional domains; - ontologies in architecture, engineering, and for the general organization of actual space. *Information* Please submit your paper through easychair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2018 Papers are intended to be at least five pages long (with around 2500 characters, or 380-400 words, per page) All submissions must be in pdf format and must follow the IOS Press FOIS formatting guidelines, available at https://goo.gl/qkTpT7. *Important dates* June 25, 2018 ? submission deadline for papers July 20, 2018 ? acceptance notification to authors August 15, 2018 ? camera ready versions due The organizers encourage the submission of interdisciplinary research -- Laboratory for Applied Ontology, ISTC CNR Trento, Italy From Oliver.Kutz at unibz.it Fri Jun 15 12:16:05 2018 From: Oliver.Kutz at unibz.it (Kutz Oliver) Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2018 10:16:05 +0000 Subject: [iaoa-general] FOIS 2018 Ontologies Competition DEADLINE EXTENSION Message-ID: <547F43C9-E9A0-49BB-B202-4468FFBA057A@unibz.it> NOTE: Deadline extension to June 29! Website: http://fois2018.cs.uct.ac.za/?page_id=280 We cordially invite you to submit to the FOIS 2018 ontologies competition, which will be held in conjunction with the FOIS (Formal Ontology in Information Systems) 2018 conference in Cape Town, South Africa, September 17-21. This year's contest is around ontologies that connect to the physical world in a quantitative way. The goal is to offer approaches to subjects that are of broad relevance across the physical sciences and technology that can be applied to realistically complex problems, and demonstrate how they work for representing and querying data. Examples of subjects that would be of interest are: 1. Spatially varying qualities such as temperature, wind speed, precipitation as it varies over an extended region as used in climate work, engineering models that measure spatial patterns of stress in materials, patterns of population and related aspects such as travel patterns and infrastructure, relevant for urban planning or study of epidemics, or distributions of substances or cells in the body as they evolve. 2. System of physical quantities - the question of units and conversions between them, physical laws and formulas that relate them, "base" versus "derived" quantities, dimensionless quantities, quantities that vary in time. 3. Temporal evolution and patterns: Time course of disease, markets, dynamics of physical processes, longitudinal studies, treatment and clinical follow-up. # Requirements * The ontology should be represented using OWL or Common logic, specifying a reasoner for the fragment of logic used. * A representative data set (which can be simulated) that is sufficient to demonstrate utility * A set of queries demonstrating expressiveness and utility and which produce expected results Submissions will be in the form of a short paper giving an explanation of the approach and instructions for demonstrating the work. The submitter should document any software that needs to be installed, as well as step by step instructions for executing the queries. Reviewers will follow these instructions and reproducibility will be part of the evaluation. Packaging that requires minimal installation, such as by a self-contained system that uses docker, would be beneficial. Submitted papers should not exceed 5 pages (not including instructions) and include an abstract of no more than 300 words. Papers should be submitted non-anonymously in PDF format following IOS Press formatting guidelines. Accepted submissions will be published in the JOWO proceedings. The winner of the competition will receive a prize of $500 USD or equivalent All material should be publicly available, for example via a Github repository, clearly licensed and accompanied by a descriptive Readme. Evaluation criteria. - How realistic are the use case and data? - Expressive power - Range of applicability - is the work useful across different domains - Efficiency and scaling - Conformity to one or more upper level ontologies - Ease of reproducing the query results The Easychair submission page can be found at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2018.

Message-ID: <82ECA389-1A32-4D6B-86F4-689470CEB537@di.unito.it> (Apologies for cross posting) Special Issue of the Journal of Applied Ontology "Meaning in Context: ontologically and linguistically motivated representations of objects and events." https://submissions.iospress.com/applied-ontology/CIM Overview Dealing with context is a key factor in the conceptualization of human experience, and a major issue for understanding natural language. It is well known that some properties of objects and events may have different cognitive salience according to their context of occurrence, thus determining access to partial relevant information rather than to all information. One typical example is that of an orange being passed between two children, or the same orange peeled on a table: in the former case the roundness prevails over other traits, and the orange is being used to play; in the latter one, the edible features are those mostly conveyed by the scene. Interpreting events poses contextual challenges as well: (in how far) does a given event allow for different interpretations, like it might happen for revenge/self defense? Similar selectional mechanisms underlie figurative uses of word meanings, such as metonymy and metaphors among others, that intrinsically characterize the interface between knowledge and language. Contextual access to objects and events needs to be further investigated, shared conceptualizations and terminologies are needed, as well as more robust approaches, including connections to domain and formal ontologies. The design of ontological and linguistic resources that account for the semantic phenomena involved in the contextual interpretation of objects and events requires collecting information and devising context-aware procedures. In an era where most research is committed to statistical approaches, e.g. vector representations of the linguistic context and neural architectures, pairing the natural language semantic interpretation process and formal ontology may improve the inferential capacities of artificial agents with the explanatory power that is less relevant in those mainstream approaches. Methods traditionally adopted to elaborate text documents exhibit limitations in representing and processing objects and events. Many efforts are being put in grasping text documents? semantics based on semantically shallow approaches, whilst natural language inference demands for deep interpretation models, allowing to handle properties, functions, and roles, among others, to deal with commonsense and to produce explanations. A different approach relies on lexical information: several large-scale lexical resources, such as WordNet (https://wordnet.princeton.edu), BabelNet (http://babelnet.org), FrameNet (https://framenet.icsi.berkeley.edu/fndrupal/), and ImagAct (http://imagact.lablita.it/index.php?lang=en), among others, have been proposed in the last few years and have been successfully employed to bridge the gap between knowledge representations and natural language. However, to cope with contextual access to objects and events involves many additional features still lacking in such resources. Neither shallow representations of NL semantics nor lexical resources alone provide sufficient ground to account for contextual phenomena. Relevant areas include, but are not limited to: events representation and retrieval, event sequences, contextual features representation, trend detection, knowledge discovery, word sense disambiguation, ontology alignment, opinion mining and sentiment analysis, and conceptual similarity, among others. All proposed approaches must address the issue of representation of context, and suitable procedures to use context and context aware meaning representations of objects and events. The ideal submission should provide evidence that context improves the performance of systems on real-world applications and/or provides useful insights and explanations on systems? output. Topics of Interest Research works submitted to the special issue should foster scientific advances whether and to what extent objects and events representation and processing can be linked to the context where they occur. The following is a tentative list of relevant topics: - theoretical foundations for the use of AI techniques to deal with context and with changing/evolving objects and events; - KR frameworks to represent mutable/evolving objects and events, including formal ontologies, conceptual spaces and distributed representations; - formal methods for reasoning in evolving scenarios; - theoretical, methodological, experimental, and application-oriented aspects of knowledge engineering and knowledge management centered on events and evolving objects; - use cases and application scenarios (e.g., in law, medicine) where contextual information impacts on objects/events representation and processing; - linguistic approaches to context analysis; - context-aware lexical resources to describe objects and events; - context-aware topic and event detection and tracking, knowledge discovery; - context-aware frame semantics; - entity linking and word sense disambiguation; - representation of context in the Semantic Web; - surveys on the adoption of contextual information in Cognitive Science, NLP and Ontological Modeling; - context-based explainable Artificial Intelligence.

Findings about the nature and style of ontology needed for a given type of industrial application In line with the scope and audience of FOIS and JOWO, papers and demonstrations should indicate the ontological motivations/principles for the presented technical application or solution. The submission should also answer these questions: ? What is the research background and application context of the paper or demonstration? ? For whom is it most interesting/useful? (e.g., for business data owners, corporate compliance officers or other corporate stakeholders, ontology researchers, ontology developers, ontology practitioners, and/or for graduate or undergraduate students?) ? What are the key technologies used and what are the technical challenges addressed? In addition, these points should be considered: ? How does the system, application or infrastructure relate to pre-existing work and what is its contribution to ontology research? ? The specific use or uses of ontology in the application (if an application is described) ? Whether any given ontology formally describes real things or data about things ? The logical formalism in which any given ontology is framed ? Relationship of the ontology to application data if any ? Ontology development techniques followed ? Use or non-use of upper ontologies, along with rationale for same ? Ontology quality or assessment measures followed, if any ? Any other considerations relating to the application of semantics or model theory in any given ontology e.g. formal ontological stances (realism, nominalism etc.) Formal Papers We invite formal paper submissions relevant to the area of ontology and related information systems and which address the topics of the FOIS Conference. Technical reports on ontology-based software systems (free or commercial), descriptions of completed work, and work in progress are all welcome, as are papers on industry ontologies, standards and regulatory applications. Authors must submit a paper that should be between 6 to 10 pages in the FOIS format (see http://fois2018.cs.uct.ac.za/?page_id=8). All paper submissions will undergo a common review process alongside those for demonstrations. Formal papers for which it is intended that there is also a demonstration component should clearly indicate this in the abstract. Accepted papers will be published in the JOWO Workshop Proceedings. Demonstrations The FOIS 2018 Industry Track Demo Sessions are designed to provide an exciting and highly interactive way to demonstrate ontology research. This element of the Industry Track complements the overall program of the FOIS conference and is an excellent forum to advertise the applicability of results and software, as well as to receive feedback from the international ontology research community. Demonstrations are intended to showcase innovative formal ontology related implementations and technologies in industry. Demonstrations of ontology-based software systems (free or commercial), whether these are completed work or work in progress, are all welcome. We explicitly welcome entries from commercial providers. However, submissions for demonstrations should go beyond pure advertisements of commercial software packages and convey some scientific contribution. Demonstrations should make clear what will be demonstrated and in particular point out what makes the demonstration a novel showcase. Submitters should further specify the following: ? What exactly will be demonstrated? ? What will attendees of the demonstration learn? ? How does the demonstrated system, application or infrastructure relate to pre-existing work? ? Why is it a novel showcase in ontology research? Authors must submit an extended abstract for evaluation. This should ideally run to two or three pages and should be at most 5 pages. All demonstration submissions will undergo a common review process alongside formal papers. Authors are strongly encouraged to include in their submission a link to where the demo (live or recorded video) can be found. They should also make clear what exactly will be demonstrated to the participants. Submission Details (Papers and Demonstrations) All submissions must be made electronically via the EasyChair conference submission system at: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2018 (please, select 'Demo-Industry?).
