Onto4FAIR Workshop at Semantics 2023
--------------
3rd Workshop on Ontologies for FAIR and FAIR Ontologies (Onto4FAIR), in conjunction with Semantics 2023, 20 September 2023, Leipzig, Germany
This is a twin workshop proposal at both FOIS 2023 and Semantics 2023 conferences. The primary aim is to bring the gap between the scientific and the practitioner/industry sides, respectively, where we would take the greatest and latest advances in the state of the art to industry and bring back the practitioners' needs and challenges to the scientific community of figure out a solution.
For more details please check the website: https://onto4fair.github.io/2023-semantics.html

Presentation
--------------
Making the resources produced by researchers fully reusable and understood requires specific efforts. The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles were elaborated to address these issues, describing a set of requirements for resource reusability and interoperability. These principles have been gaining increasing attention in a range of different areas and applications. One the one hand, a key aspect is the ability of properly and semantically describing resources, in particular with the help of ontologies. On the other hand, ontologies themselves have to be compliant with the FAIR principles.
The workshop has the following main goals: (i) to bring together leaders from academia, industry and user institutions to discuss the adoption of FAIR principles in research and real-world requirements. (ii) to serve to inform about existing research efforts that may meet their requirements. (iii) to investigate how the FAIR principles are supported by the use of ontologies that ideally are themselves FAIR. (iv) to discuss the challenges and perspectives in adopting FAIR principles.
--------------
Workshop topics
--------------
The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- schemes, ontologies and vocabulaires for FAIR data and metadata;
- domain and cross-domain ontologies for FAIR data;
- making vocabularies and ontologies FAIR;
- alignment of schemes, vocabulaires and ontologies for FAIR;
- data management for FAIR data;
- best practices for implementing the FAIR principles;
- FAIRification process and use cases;
- metrics for FAIRness assessment;
- provenance in FAIR environments;
- FAIR principles and open science;
- FAIR principles and linked open data;
- FAIR in industry, scientific communities (life science, digital humanities, health, smart cities, etc.).

Special issue on Ontology Matching and Machine Learning
https://www.semantic-web-journal.net/blog/special-issue-ontology-matching-a…
-------------------
This special issue aims to discuss the latest research proposals and on the use of machine learning for ontology matching, data interlinking, and data integration in general.
Ontology matching is a key interoperability enabler for the Semantic Web, as well as a useful technique in some classical data integration tasks dealing with the semantic heterogeneity problem. It takes ontologies as input and determines as output an alignment, that is, a set of correspondences between the semantically related entities of those ontologies. These correspondences can be used for various tasks, such as ontology merging, data interlinking, query answering or navigation over knowledge graphs. Thus, matching ontologies enables the knowledge and data expressed with the matched ontologies to interoperate.
While early approaches have addressed the use of machine learning, new deep learning and large language models have gained attention in the field, proving new ways of capturing the relationships between the entities of different ontologies.
The special issue aims at providing a comprehensive view of the latest research advancements and inspire further research in this evolving area. We welcome original research papers that propose novel techniques, models, and frameworks for ontology matching, data interlink and data integration.
-------------------
Themes and Topics
-------------------
We are interested in (including but not limited to) the following themes and topics that study the application of deep learning and large langage models in general:
- Matching and deep learning
- Matching and large language models
- Learning in instance matching, data interlinking
- Large-scale and efficient matching techniques
- Matching and neuro-symbolic techniques
- Matcher selection, combination and tuning
- User involvement
- Explanations in matching
- Social and collaborative matching
- Uncertainty in matching
- Expressive alignments
- Reasoning with alignments
- Alignment coherence and debugging
- Matching for emerging applications (e.g., web tables, knowledge graphs)
- Benchmarks for machine learning oriented matching
-------------------
Deadline
-------------------
Submission deadline: 20th February 2024. Papers submitted before the deadline will be reviewed upon receipt.
-------------------

Mara Abel (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)
Title: Ontology application in the petroleum industry
Abstract: The petroleum production chain configures a complex sequence of activities that require specialized knowledge and large volume of information from diverse sources and types. Considering the high level of requested knowledge, several specialized providers assume part of the activities producing information and data that are integrated during process decision, production monitoring, and optimization. In this non-standardize scenario, semantic treatment becomes a key issue to allow interoperability between systems and enterprise information consumption. Ontology engineering came with the adequate tools for dealing with semantic in this environment nowadays, by orienting the development of domain ontologies and the embodiment of the ontology artifacts into information system applications. This talk will describe use cases of domain ontologies in petroleum industry environment for information retrieval, expert system applications, digital twin for implementation and decision making applications, highlighting details of the each project development.
Bio: Mara Abel is geologist and doctor in Computer Science, studying knowledge engineering applied to Petroleum Industry. She is a retired titular professor of UFRGS, in Brasil, where she has been dedicated to investigate and build ontologies for dealing with interoperability problems in petroleum industry. She is co-founder of the knowledge-based software company ENDEEPER and she has conceived several successful industrial applications for reservoir characterization and production optimization in industrial cooperation projects.

Emilio Sanfilippo (National Research Council of Italy)
Title: Ontologies in Digital Humanities: Some Research Challenges
Abstract: Ontologies are extensively used in both research and applications within the realm of digital humanities, with one of the most notable examples being the CIDOC-CRM ontology and its extensions. Similarly to other domains of application, ontologies within the digital humanities serve diverse purposes, including the seamless organization of datasets across multiple organizations to enable their smooth sharing and integration. However, within this landscape, critical studies pertaining to the interpretive reception of artworks – or any entity central to humanities research – have remained at the margins of knowledge representation and data modeling efforts. Consequently, while numerous digital platforms offer ontology-based datasets, only a few explicitly address the interpretive dimension of scholarly inquiries. This absence is somewhat surprising considering the significance of interpretive phenomena in critical studies of fine art, literature, music, theater, and other disciplines. During this presentation, I will briefly explore the utilization of ontologies in the digital humanities, discussing the challenges researchers must confront, in my opinion, to comprehend the multifaceted nature of scholarly research in the humanities. These challenges encompass the development of methodologies and formal models to represent scholarly interpretations and debates.
Bio: Emilio Sanfilippo is a permanent researcher at the National Research Council of Italy, affiliated with the Laboratory for Applied Ontology (LOA) within the Institute for Cognitive Sciences and Technologies (ISTC). His research encompasses foundational and applied topics concerning the utilization of ontologies in both industrial engineering and the digital humanities. Presently, he serves as the principal investigator of the MITE project - Make it Explicit: Documenting interpretations of literary fictions with conceptual formal models, funded by the Italian Ministry for University and Research (MUR).

Hello,
The IRISA lab of University Rennes invites applications for the attached
postdoctoral position.
*Job title: *postdoc 24 months, starting January 2024
*Project*: MeKaNo (ANR), 2023-2026
*Research Lab*: IRISA, Rennes, France
*Team*: LACODAM
*Contact*: ferre(a)irisa.fr, peggy.cellier(a)irisa.fr
*Keywords*: semantic web, knowledge graphs, query languages, microdata,
user interaction
*Context and Objectives*:
In MeKaNo, we aim to search the web with "Things" (entities), in order
to get more accurate results over a wide diversity of sources.
Traditional web search engines search the web with strings. However,
keyword search often returns many irrelevant documents, pushing users to
refine their keyword list following a trial-and-error process. On the
other hand, Knowledge Graphs (KG) like Wikidata [1] enable users to
search for Things and facts, and to get exact answers. However, there
may exist many answers on the web that are not part of the knowledge
graph. Moreover, nowadays, many websites include entities and facts in
the form of microdata [2], for which there is no query engine so far. In
MeKaNo, we aim at combining the querying of knowledge graphs and
microdata together in order to reconcile the accuracy of KG querying,
and the diversity of web search.
To search the web with Things, we face several scientific challenges.
Among them, an important one is the definition of a query language that
combines knowledge graph querying, web search, and microdata querying.
Another challenge is to assist users in the building of such complex
queries [3]. We already have an approach (Sparklis [4]) that assists
users in knowledge graph querying. The objective of the postdoc is to
extend this approach to include web search and microdata querying.
*Requirements*:
The candidate must hold a Ph.D in Computer Science, preferably in the
field of the Semantic Web. Skills in query languages (SPARQL), language
design, web programming are a plus.
*Application method:*
To apply send an email to sebastien.ferre(a)irisa.fr and
peggy.cellier(a)irisa.fr with attached a single PDF containing:
*
Cover letter in which you describe your motivation and
qualifications for the position.
*
Curriculum vitae, including a list of your publications and the
contact information of references.
