CfP: 3rd Onto4FAIR Workshop at Semantics 2023 (deadline extension 21/07)

by Cassia TROJAHN

** With apologies for multiple posting ** -------------- 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.). -------------- Important dates -------------- - Workshop paper submission deadline: July 21, 2023 (extended) - Author notification: August 07, 2023 - Camera-ready version: August 28, 2023 -------------- Submissions -------------- - Full research papers: 12 pages (including references) - Short papers: 6 pages (including references) Submissions must be in PDF, formatted in the style of IOS Press template. -------------- Workshop Chairs -------------- - Cassia Trojahn, Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse, France - Luiz Olavo Bonino da Silva Santos, University of Twente and Leiden University Medical Center, the Netherlands - Giancarlo Guizzardi, University of Twente, the Netherlands - Clement Jonquet, French National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and Environment, Mathematics, Informatics and STatistics for Environment and Agronomy research unit, Montpellier, France Best regards Cassia Trojahn

CfP - Ordinal Methods for Knowledge Representation and Capture (OrMeKR @ K-CAP 2023)

by Tom Hanika

***** 1st CALL FOR PAPERS*****: First international workshop on *Ordinal Methods for Knowledge Representation and Capture (OrMeKR)* in conjunction with *The Twelfth International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP 2023)* December 5th, 2023, Pensacola, Florida, USA *Submission Deadline: October 15th, 2023* 1.1 Abstract and Scope: ─────────────────────── The concept of order (i.e., partial ordered sets) is predominant for perceiving and organizing our physical and social environment, for inferring meaning and explanation from observation, and for searching and rectifying decisions. Compared to metric methods, however, the number of (purely) ordinal methods for capturing knowledge from data is rather small, although in principle they may allow for more comprehensible explanations. The reason for this could be the limited availability of computing resources in the last century, which would have been required for (purely) ordinal computations. Hence, typically relational and especially ordinal data are first embedded in metric spaces for learning. Therefore, in this workshop we want to collect and discuss ordinal methods for capturing and representing knowledge, their role in inference and explainability, and their possibilities for knowledge visualization and communication. We want to reflect on these topics in a broad sense, i.e., as a tool to arrange, compare and compute ontologies or concept hierarchies, as a feature in learning and capturing knowledge, and as a measure to evaluate model performance. 1.2 Topics of Interest ────────────────────── • Ordinal Aspects for Knowledge Representation and Knowledge Bases • Knowledge Visualization using Order Relations • Ordinal Representation and Analysis of Ontologies • Data Fidelity and Reliability of Ordinal Methods • Theory and Application of Order Dimension and Related Notions • Ordinal Knowledge Spaces and Ordinal Exploration • Scaling and Processing Ordinal Information • Metric Structures in Order Relations • Algorithms for querying Large Ordinal Data • Knowledge Discovery in metric-ordinal Heterogeneous Representation • Ordinal Pattern Structures and Motifs • Methods for Representation Learning of Order Relations • Drawing of Hierarchical Graphs and Knowledge Structures • Non-Linear Ranking in Recommendation Applications • Linear Ordered Knowledge and Learning • Scheduling and Planning • Applications of Ordinal Methods to Scientific Knowledge (e.g., from domains such as Biology, Physics, Social Sciences, Digital Humanities, etc.) • Methodologically Related Fields such as Directed Graphs, Formal Concept Analysis, Conceptual Structures, Relational Data, Recommendation, Lattice Theory, with a Clear Reference to Order Relations and Knowledge 1.3 Important Dates (all dates are AoE) ─────────────────────────────────────── • Submission: October 15, 2023 • Author Notification: October 29, 2023 • Camera Ready: November 12, 2023 1.4 Submission Guidlines and Conditions ─────────────────────────────────────── OrMeKR will focus on contributions to the theory and application of ordinal methods in the realm of knowledge representation and capture. The workshop welcomes *report papers* (summaries of past work concerning ordinal methods), *research papers* (novel results), *position papers* (discussing issues concerning the usefulness of ordinal methods in KR), and *challenge papers* (describing limitations and open research questions). • Submissions should have a minimum of 5 pages and shall not exceed 8 pages. • Submission must use the provided CEUR Template: <https://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/ormekr2023/ceur.zip> • The workshop is not double-blind, hence authors should list their names and affiliations on the submission. • Accepted Papers will be published in CEUR Workshop Proceedings corresponding to K-CAP. • Authors of accepted workshop papers will present their work in plenary sessions during the workshop on December 5th. • Submissions should be emailed to: *[ormekr2023(a)cs.uni-kassel.de]* 1.5 Organizing Committee ──────────────────────── • Tom Hanika ⁃ Institute for Computer Science, University of Hildesheim, Germany ⁃ Berlin School of Library and Information Science, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany • Dominik Dürrschnabel ⁃ Knowledge & Data Engineering Group, University of Kassel, Germany • Johannes Hirth ⁃ Knowledge & Data Engineering Group, University of Kassel, Germany 1.6 Program Committee ───────────────────── • Agnès Braud, Université de Strasbourg, France • Diana Christea, Babes-Bolyai University, Romania • Pablo Cordero, University of Malaga, Spain • Bernhard Ganter, TU Dresden, Germany • Rokia Missaoui, University of Quebec in Outaouais, Canada • Robert Jäschke, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany • Giacomo Kahn, Université Lumière Lyon 2, France • Léonard Kwuida, Bern University of Applied Sciences, Switzerland • Sebastian Rudolph, TU Dresden, Germany • Gerd Stumme, University of Kassel, Germany • Francisco J.
