The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied Ontology (ISAO) (cf. [3]; next edition in 2023), but -- in times of the Corona pandemic -- it is complementary in format and its overall approach. The basic idea is a combination of an archive of educational material (for the beginning, short video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and discussing that material. The second Bolzano Summer of Knowledge (BoSK 2021) [4] includes a Launch Event for this new series, which offers a number of webinar sessions according to the new format on a single day. The ESAO Launch Day will be held in hybrid format on Sep 10, 2021 (Friday), preceding the FOIS conference (Sep 13-16, 2021) [7] in Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. Hybrid means that the experts and the audience can join locally or remotely. The physical event will take place at the Kolpinghaus Bozen, Largo Adolph Kolping 3, Bolzano, Italy [6]. The Launch Day as well as the overall ESAO Series is open for and welcomes students, researchers and practitioners alike. Program ------------- (all times are specified in CEST, the time zone of Bolzano) 10:00-10:20 Introduction 10:20-11:15 Session 1 * Giancarlo Guizzardi, University of Twente and Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy "Applied Ontology and Conceptual Modeling" (keynote talk) 11:30-12:30 Session 2 * Enrico Franconi, Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy "Conceptual schemas and ontologies for data access: myths and challenges" * Nicola Guarino, Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Technologies of the Italian National Research Council (ISTC-CNR), Italy "Computational ontologies and their logical models" 14:15-15:15 Session 3 * Antony Galton, University of Exeter, UK "Time and Ontology" * Elisabetta Jezek, University of Pavia, Italy "Events and their participants in verb semantics" 15:15-15:30 Bar camp presentation & opening of topic polls 16:00-17:00 Session 4 * Barry Smith, University at Buffalo, USA "On Realizables: Roles, Dispositions, Capabilities, Functions" * Michael Gruninger, University of Toronto, Canada "Ontology Engineering" 17:00-18:00 Bar camp session 20:00 Local social event For possible updates of the agenda, please cf. the ESAO website [1].
