*Call for Papers*

The International Workshop on Ontologies and Conceptual Modelling
(Onto.com) is hosted at the 12th International Conference on Formal
Ontology in Information Systems <https://fois2021.inf.unibz.it> in
Bozen-Bolzano, Italy. OntoCom2021 concerns the practical and formal
application of ontologies to conceptual modelling.

While models pervade the information systems lifecycle from requirements to
implementation, there appears to be a lack of theoretical foundation in the
way that models are developed. As a result it is quite common for
practitioners, even working together, to produce different representations
of the same real-world domain or system. Conversely, a preferred approach
would be one in which IS practitioners have the necessary conceptual tools
to enable them to accurately represent the things that exist in the real
world. Foundational or upper ontologies have the potential to resolve the
difficult problems that derive from a lack of a consistent and sound
ontological theory. The benefits that can derive from the application of a
foundational ontology include improved mapping to the real world domain,
increased level of communication and understanding among stakeholders,
model reuse, semantic integration and interoperability and increased
overall efficiency and effectiveness of information systems development and
evolution. OntoCom is intended to be highly interactive and bring together
academics and practitioners interested in foundational ontologies and their
meta-ontological choices.

*Submissions*

As in earlier years, all contributions to JOWO workshops will be published
in a joint CEUR proceedings volume, together with the contributions to the
Early Career Symposium. Papers can be submitted using easychair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=jowo2021. Papers should be
submitted non-anonymously in PDF format following CEUR formatting
guidelines (downloadable here <http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-XXX/CEURART.zip>).

We accept to types of submissions:

   - Regular Articles (12 pages including the bibliography) for presenting
   original unpublished work, neither submitted to, nor accepted for, any
   other venue.
   - Short Papers (max 5 pages) for presenting a conceptual modeling
   problem (and possible answers), which will be analyzed in the afternoon
   session of the workshop using different reference ontologies.
