Call for Papers
3rd International Workshop on Semantic Web and Ontology Design for Cultural Heritage (SWODCH 2023)@ISWC 2023 , 22nd International Semantic Web Conference
November 6/7, 2023, Athens, Greece
https://swodch2023.inf.unibz.it/
*WORKSHOP SCOPE AND AIMS*
SWODCH 2023 is the third edition of the International Workshop on Semantic Web and Ontology Design for Cultural Heritage. The purpose of the workshop is two-fold: First, it aims to gather foundational research work on the design of conceptual models, knowledge graphs, ontologies, and Semantic Web (SW) technologies for Cultural Heritage (CH) and the Digital Humanities (DH). A plethora of heterogeneous and multi-format data currently available in these domains asks for principled methodologies and technologies to semantically characterise, integrate, and reason with data, and to support their retrieval, management, analysis and visualisation. We also welcome philosophical and sociological analyses of data, knowledge representation models and modelling practices in CH and DH, possibly taking into account the social or historical dimensions of data. Second, SWODCH aims to bring together stakeholders from various fields of Computer Science and the Humanities, involved in the development and deployment of concrete SW solutions for CH, efficiently building, managing, exploring, visualising or mining CH knowledge graphs. More than 20 years after the beginning of this century, any SW solution should be designed according to the FAIR principles and the workshop supports the creation of datasets and applications that respect and are compliant with these principles.
*IMPORTANT DATES*
- Paper submission deadline: August 25, 2023
- Notification of acceptance: September 22, 2023
- Camera-ready papers: September 29, 2023
- Workshop Date: November 6/7, 2023
*LOCATION*
SWODCH 2023 will be co-located with the 22nd International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC 2023 ) in Athens, Greece.
*LIST OF TOPICS*
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Conceptual analysis and ontology design for the Digital Humanities
- Domain ontologies or conceptual models for different fields of Humanities
- Methodological aspects of ontology development for the DH
- Application of formal ontology theories in the DH
- Case studies and lessons learnt from the use of standard ontologies (e.g. CIDOC-CRM)
- Logical and ontological analysis of CIDOC-CRM or FRBR, e.g., with respect to foundational ontologies (DOLCE, UFO, BFO, etc.)
- Philosophical and sociological analysis of digital models and modelling practices in DH
- Social studies on the policies towards the standardisation of ontologies in DH
Semantic Web Technologies and Applications for Cultural Heritage
- SW technologies for CH content creation, annotation and extraction
- SW architectures and infrastructures for CH
- Interoperability of CH collections
- Applying the FAIR data principles to CH data
- CH knowledge graphs
- Searching, querying and visualising CH data on the SW
- Ontology-based access to CH data
- Publishing CH data on the Web
- Navigating through and browsing CH data on the Web
- SW solutions for trust and provenance issues in CH
- SW applications for digital libraries, museums, tourism, the creative industries, etc.
*SUBMISSION GUIDELINES*
We will accept two different types of contributions:
- Full papers for presenting original unpublished work, neither submitted to nor accepted for presentation at any other venue. Submitted *full papers* should be between 10 and 12 pages, including references.
- Short papers for presenting work in progress, brief descriptions of doctoral theses, or general overviews of research projects. Submitted *short papers* should be between 6 and 8 pages, including references.

== ESAO Webinar n.08, Special Session in June 2023 ==
Dear all,
The Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) [1] is open for
everyone and welcomes students, researchers and practitioners alike (no
registration needed).
The 8th ESAO webinar will be held as special session on
Monday, June 12, 2023 at 14:00 UTC, for up to 75 min
(regional times: 10:00 EDT / 16:00 CEST / 16:00 SAST [2])
via Zoom (full connection details at the end of this message)

Program & Speaker Info
----------------------
10:00-11:15 EDT / 14:00-15:15 UTC / 16:00-17:15 / 16:00-17:15 SAST
(50 min talk + discussion)
Title: The psychology and philosophy of concept combination
Speaker:
James Hampton (City, University of London, UK) [3]
SPECIAL SESSION of ESAO:
- invited talk in connection with the PhD defense of Guendalina Righetti
(Free University of Bozen-Bolzano, Italy)
- actually hybrid, onsite in Bozen-Bolzano and online as ESAO webinar
- format: scientific talk
Abstract:
I will review a wider range of research into the problem of how
prototype concepts combine. When nouns are placed in a noun-noun
compound, (e.g. CRIMINAL LAWYER) different strategies can be used in
English to arrive at a semantic interpretation. I will discuss some of
the processes involved, and the effects of stress. The second part of my
talk will examine how people interpret logical connectives when applied
to vague semantic categories such as Vehicle or Fruit. Finally I will
present some new data looking at how people judge a conjunction of two
vague predicates, as in "These sunglasses are large and dark" where both
size and shade of a set of sunglasses are distributed around a vague
boundary.
Short Speaker CV:
Educated at Cambridge and University College London. Professor of
Psychology, City, University of London since 1977. Visiting appointments
at Stanford, Cornell, Chicago (as a Fulbright Fellow), Yale, NYU, Ecole
Normale Superieure in Paris, and Utrecht. Over 100 publications on the
psychology and philosophy of concepts.
Series Description
------------------
The IAOA [4] has created ESAO [1], an educational effort directed
towards topics of Applied Ontology, primarily established basics and
foundations.
The series is inspired by the Interdisciplinary Schools on Applied
Ontology (ISAO) [5] (for the next ISAO edition during July 10-14, 2023,
please see [6] - ! EARLY REGISTRATION for ISAO 2023 closes on June 11
(EDT) !). ESAO is complementary in format and its overall approach. The
goal is to provide a combination of an archive of educational material
(e.g., short video lectures) and a series of webinars for presenting and
discussing that material.

Presentation ? Values and cognition
The 19th AISC Conference will focus on the relationship between values and
cognition, a topic that defines a heterogenous set of problems that cuts
across the various souls of cognitive science, in a truly interdisciplinary
perspective. What role do values play within cognitive science research?
What ethical and social repercussions do the most recent discoveries in AI,
neuroscience, cognitive and comparative psychology have? What cognitive
processes are involved in aesthetic and moral judgements? How is evaluative
language processed? To properly address such questions, a variety of

Important dates
==========
Registration deadline: Jul 13, 2023
On site conference: July 17-20, 2023
Definition and scope
====================
The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern information systems. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies. FOIS aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, as well as the Semantic Web.
FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA: http://iaoa.org/), which is a non-profit organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology.

========
FOIS 2023 consists of a physical meeting and a virtual meeting:
An in-person only meeting in Sherbrooke, Quebec from July 17 to 20, 2023 that will be very much like a traditional conference with keynotes, regular talks, workshops and tutorials and plenty of social and networking opportunities. This part will not have a remote participation option, but we plan on recording selected talks (e.g. keynotes).
This will be followed by an online part to be held from September 18 to 20, 2023 that offers an opportunity for presentation and discussion of additional papers that were not presented at the physical meeting in Sherbrooke.
