============================

14th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems
(FOIS 2024)
15-19 July 2024 (Enschede, Netherlands) - 08-09 July 2024 (online)

https://urlsand.esvalabs.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.utwente.nl%2Fen%2Feemcs%2Ffois2024%2F&e=ed7a584b&h=190d56eb&f=y&p=y

Paper submission deadline (extended): 04 March 2024 (AoE)

============================

**Definition & scope**

The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers interested in
formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of
entities and relations comprising the domains of interest represented in
modern information systems. The conference encourages the submission of
high-quality, not previously published results on both theoretical issues
and practical advancements. FOIS 2024 will have distinct tracks for
foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain
ontologies.


FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for
Ontology and its Applications (IAOA), a non-profit organization promoting
interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal
ontology.


FOIS 2024 will be held both online and in Enschede, the Netherlands, by the
Semantics, Cybersecurity & Services group of the University of Twente.

**Submission types**

FOIS 2024 seeks three types of full-length (14 pages) high-quality papers
on a wide range of topics:
* Foundational papers address content-related ontological issues, their
formal representation, and their relevance to some aspect of information
systems.
* Application and Methods papers address novel systems, methods, and tools
related to building, evaluating, or using ontologies, emphasizing the
impact of ontology contents.
* Domain ontology papers describe a novel ontology for a specific realm of
interest, clarifying ontological choices against requirements and
foundational theory, and showing ontology use.

As usual, the FOIS proceedings will be published by IOS Press.


**Topics of interest**


Foundational Issues:

* Kinds of entities: particulars/universals, continuants/occurrents,
abstracta/concreta, dependent entities/independent entities, natural
objects/artifacts, events/processes
* Formal relations: parthood, identity, connection, dependence,
constitution, causality, subsumption, instantiation
* Vagueness and granularity
* Space, time, and change

Methodological issues:

* Top-level vs. domain-specific ontologies
* Role of reference ontologies
* Ontology similarity, integration, alignment, matching and entity
reconciliation
* Ontology modularity, patterns, and contextuality
* Ontology evaluation, quality, reuse, adaptation, and evolution
* Ontology compliance with FAIR principles
* Formal comparison among ontologies
* Relationship between conceptual modeling and ontologies
* Relationship with cognition, language, semantics, and context
* Connections between knowledge graphs and ontologies
* Methodological issues in the applications of ontologies
* Social issues, such as trust or bias, with respect to ontologies

Applications:

* Technical applications of ontologies, such as:
* Semantic Web
* Other areas of AI (Machine Learning, Explainable AI, Rules)
* Qualitative modeling
* Systems applications of ontologies, such as:
* Ontology-driven information systems design
* Ontology-based data access
* Knowledge managementInformation retrieval
* Computational linguistics
* Metadata management
* Domain applications of ontologies, such as:
* Ontologies for business modeling
* Ontologies for particular scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry,
geography, physics, geoscience, cognitive sciences, linguistics, etc.)
* Ontologies for engineering: shape, form and function, artifacts,
manufacturing, design, architecture, etc.
* Ontologies for the humanities: arts, cultural studies, history,
literature, philosophy, etc.
* Ontologies for the social sciences: economics, law, political science,
anthropology, archeology, etc.
* Ontologies for Open Science and dataset sharing

Domain-specific ontologies:

* Ontology of physical reality (matter, space, time, motion, etc.)
* Ontology of biological reality (organisms, genes, proteins, cells, etc.)
* Ontology of mental reality and agency (beliefs, intentions, emotions,
perceptions, cognition, etc.)
* Ontology of artifacts, functions, capacities and roles
* Ontology of social reality (institutions, organizations, norms, social
relationships, artistic expressions, etc.)
