ESCIM2025 | Invitation to the special session "Recent trends in knowledge representation and modelling"

by Manuel Ojeda Hernandez

[APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING] Dear colleagues, We cordially invite you to participate in the special session "Recent trends in knowledge representation and modelling" that will be held in ESCIM 2025 in A Coruña (Spain). Futher information about the conference can be found in http://escim2025.uca.es/ <http://escim202.uca.es/>. The Special Session is focused on theoretical and applied tools for representing and modelling information. In particular, our interest is in the direction of recent techniques for dealing with uncertainty. In this sense, Formal Conceptual Analysis, Logic Programming and Fuzzy Relation Equations, together with their fuzzy extensions, arise as reliable tools for dealing with knowledge obtained from databases that are uncertain in some way, such as incomplete, imprecise, ambiguous, graded. These are some of the highlighted topics of interest in the session, but contributions related to other fields are also welcome. Keywords and related topics: - Formal Concept Analysis - Logic Programming - Rough Set Theory Organizers: * Roberto García-Aragón: roberto.aragon(a)uca.es <mailto:roberto.aragon@uca.es> * David Lobo: david.lobo(a)uca.es <mailto:david.lobo@uca.es> * Manuel Ojeda-Hernández: manuojeda <mailto:manuojeda@uma.es>@uma.e <mailto:manuojeda@uma.es>s <mailto:manuojeda@uma.es> Best regards, Roberto, David and Manuel

ERRATUM: ESAO Webinar n.14 on Tuesday December 17th, 2024 16:00 CET –- Call for Participation

by Cassia TROJAHN

(NEW title and abstract of Chris Partridge's presentation) Dear all, The Educational Series on Applied Ontology (ESAO) [1] is open for everyone and welcomes students, researchers and practitioners alike. The 14h ESAO webinar will be held on Tuesday December 17th, 2024 at 16:00 CET. --------------------------- When and how to connect Tuesday December 17th, 2024 15:00 UTC / 16:00 CET / 17:00 SAST Duration: 90 minutes Video conference (via Zoom) : https://univ-tlse2.zoom.us/j/92895546685?pwd=DQD7Wzf3ZJw02LJ2hHmrVDwdN474PZ… --------------------------- Program 15:00 - 16:30 UTC / 16:00 - 17:30 CET / 17:00 - 18:30 SAST / 12:00 - 13:30 UTC-3 ********************************************************* Chris Partridge, BORO Solutions Limited and University of Westminster, UK Extending the design space of ontologization practices: Using bCLEARer as an example Abstract: The aim of this seminar is to suggest that the design space for the ontologization process is richer than current practice would suggest. That it is possible to open the space up to a range of radically new practices. This consciously builds upon the notion that engineering processes as well as products need to be designed. We provide evidence for the new practices from our work over the last three decades with an outlier methodology, bCLEARer. We also provide some contextual scaffolding for a perspective that we have found we needed to better understand the nature of these new practices. This is an evolutionary perspective which sees digitalization (the evolutionary emergence of computing technologies) as part of the latest step in a long evolutionary trail of information transitions. And sees ontologization as a tool for exploiting the emerging opportunities offered by digitalization. ********************************************************* Maria Keet, University of Cape Town, South Africa Competency questions (30 minutes + Q&A) Abstract: Competency Questions (CQs) for ontologies were initially proposed as a way to assist with scoping of an ontology's content requirements for ontology development, but gradually have been taking up more diverse uses, including ontology validation and reuse, and as part of test-driven development of ontologies. Since authoring CQs is perceived as an arduous and error-prone task, research efforts have gone into automated writing assistance, the notion of what good and bad CQs are, and their formalisation into OWL and SPARQL queries. This ESAO webinar will cover CQ foundations and recent advances in research on CQs for ontologies.

As digitalisation increases within and across organisations, significant problems arise when developing or changing business requirements, maintaining existing systems and exchanging data between them. Many of the problems that arise are due to the semantic inconsistencies in the underlying models of such systems. This seminar will discuss how a 4D foundational ontology (BORO) and its method for semantic improvement (bCLEARer) can provide the basis for increased ontological clarity and consistency of conceptual models by working on and semantically reengineering data from existing information systems. The seminar will explain BORO’s top-level ontology, its criteria of identity and its meta-ontological choices. It will then present examples of how the method helps to semantically re-engineer and improve models/data from existing systems. ********************************************************* Maria Keet, University of Cape Town, South Africa Competency questions (30 minutes + Q&A) Abstract: Competency Questions (CQs) for ontologies were initially proposed as a way to assist with scoping of an ontology's content requirements for ontology development, but gradually have been taking up more diverse uses, including ontology validation and reuse, and as part of test-driven development of ontologies.
