CALL FOR PAPERS
Second International Workshop on Ontology of Social, Legal and Economic 
Entities
SoLEE 2021


Understanding the ontological nature of social, legal, and economic 
concepts and institutions is crucial for providing principled modeling 
in many important domains such as enterprise modeling, business 
processes, and social ontology. A significant number of fundamental 
concepts that are ubiquitous in economics, social, and legal sciences - 
such as value, risk, capability, good, service, exchange, transaction, 
competition, trust, social norm, group, institution - have only recently 
been approached from a specifically ontological perspective. It is 
therefore important to offer a venue to gather the recent contributions 
to this topic.
The workshop encourages submissions on both theoretical and 
methodological issues in the use of ontologies for modeling social, 
legal, and economic concepts and institutions, as well as submissions on 
concrete use of ontologies in application for these domains. We intend 
to broaden the focus in order to explore the emerging question of how to 
deal with social entities in general, and to connect well-established 
domains like biomedicine and business ontologies in this respect.
The workshop is intended to serve as a meeting point for stakeholders 
from applied ontology and the respective domain disciplines.

Topics of interest include but are not restricted to:
* Ontology of social, legal, and economic concepts - e.g., groups, 
norms, cooperation, competition, economic and legal agent, utility, 
money, risk, rationality, market, etc.
* Extensions of foundational ontologies to include social, legal, and 
economic institutions.
* Knowledge representation involving social, legal and economic entities.
* Methodological issues in representing social legal, and economic 
concepts.
* Formal languages for economics, logics for modeling economic, social, 
and legal concepts.
* Social and legal norms - in social, legal, and economic environments.
* Social, legal, and economic roles and responsibilities of/within 
collective entities like organizations, companies, enterprises, social 
groups, customers, corporate agents, institutions.
* Decision procedures in groups, organizations, and institutions.
* Value, value ascription, value production, value (co-)creation.
* Enterprise modeling: capabilities, strategy, marketing, accounting.
* Finance and markets.
* Services, service science, product-service systems.
* Business ontology and business process modeling.
