[Roberta Ferrario]

Hello Everyone,
(with apologies for cross-posting)

International Workshop on Ontologies for Social Services (OSS2022)
Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) 2022. The workshop will be held on
15-19 August 2022 in Jönköping University, Jönköpin, Sweden.
https://csse.utoronto.ca/oss2022


*WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIM*
Semantic Technologies provide a formal way to represent knowledge in 
ways that are interpretable by computers and a related technology stack 
to store, integrate and query information semantically.

The purpose of the OSS workshop is to foster communication and 
strengthen interdisciplinary work at the intersection of semantic 
technologies and social services. We invite researchers from the 
Knowledge Representation, Semantic Web, Machine Learning, and Social 
Science communities to submit theoretical contributions, novel 
algorithms, artefacts, and tools related to social services. We welcome 
reports from Social Work practitioners on their experiences using 
semantic-enabled technologies, best practices, and insights.

For additional information, please contact oss2022committee at gmail.com.
