Advances in Ontology Design and Patterns
- 2017
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study of patterns in the context of ontology engineering for the semantic web was pioneered more than a decade ago by Blomqvist, Sandkuhl and Gangemi. Since then, this line of research has flourished and led to the development of ontology design patterns, knowledge patterns, and linked data patterns: the patterns as they are known by ontology designers, knowledge engineers, and linked data publishers, respectively. A key characteristic of those patterns is that they are modular and reusable solutions to recurrent problems in ontology engineering and linked data publishing.This book contains recent contributions which advance the state of the art on theory and use of ontology design patterns. The papers collected in this book cover a range of topics, from a method to instantiate content patterns, a proposal on how to document a content pattern, to a number of patterns emerging in ontology modeling in various situations.

Applications of declarative programming and knowledge management : 19th International Conference, INAP 2011, and 25th Workshop on Logic Programming, WLP 2011, Vienna, Austria, September 28-30, 2011, Revised Selected Papers
- 2013
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book constitutes revised selected papers of the 19th International Conference on Applications of Declarative Programming and Knowledge Management, INAP 2011, and the 25th Workshop on Logic Programming, WLP 2011, held in Vienna, Austria, in September 2011. The 19 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 papers presented at the conference and initially a total of 35 submissions. The book also contains the papers of two invited talks. The papers are organized in topical sections on languages; answer-set programming and abductive reasoning; constraints and logic programming; answer-set programming and model expansion; application papers; and system descriptions.

Culture at Our Borders
- 2018
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- It has become increasingly difficult today to characterize cultural belonging. This is not to suggest that cultures have disappeared but that it has become impossible to think of them as homogeneous, providing us with totalizing expressions of collective identity. The globalizing movement of modernity, the deterritorializing flows of its economic relations and the migration that follows it show that the borders between cultures have dissolved while the concept of culture itself is more than ever characterized by internal tensions. It is then neither cultural identity nor its constitutive outside that is central to culture but rather the movement in which it already resides. This movement brings with it the diasporization of cultures that can no longer be essentialized or reterritorialized as homogenous. Indeed, as Hardt and Negri have already argued: “We must cleanse ourselves of any misplaced nostalgia for the belle époque of that modernity.”The fact that the uniform notion of culture has met its demise is also what calls for its violent revivals. We can witness this across our political landscapes where vigorous resurgence of cultural nationalism, racial orthodoxy and ethnocentrism is gaining traction, generating new claims of legitimacy for the subject. Old hatreds of identity politics have flared up and the mythogeny of body, blood, birth, origin is again rekindled as a currency in the nostalgic rhetoric of nationalist movements. The “belle époque” of modernity with its horrors seems on the verge of repeating itself. But, perhaps, cultures have never been part of that époque. The concepts of nation, of race and ethnic absolutism we have used to determine our place in modernity, have given the impression of there being something else that preexists our present and our history that have always been characterized by the movement of innumerable and partial differences. Perhaps our reality has, in fact, always been at our borders, never one but constituted of a myriad of syncretic narratives, crosscurrents of meaning and transcultural encounters.This seminar will focus on cultures in transfer in literary studies and theory, welcoming contributions that may cover but are not limited to the following topics: Significance of home in diaspora literaturesAuthenticity and nostalgia(Im)possibility of place in a global worldIdentity formation in transcultural contexts Diaspora and its (dis)contentsAffect theory and cultural displacementGender and diasporic identityQueering migrationLiminality and bordersCirculation of memoryMigration and cultural dispossessionEthnicity and race in global communityCultural difference in the AnthropoceneWorld literature, a moving concept

Formal ontology in information systems : Proceedings of the 13th International Conference (FOIS 2023)
- 2023
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications, a non-profit organization which promotes interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer science.This book presents the papers delivered at FOIS 2023, the 13th edition of the Formal Ontology in Information Systems conference. The event was held as a sequentially-hybrid event, face-to-face in Sherbrooke, Canada, from 17 to 20 July 2023, and online from 18 to 20 September 2023. In total, 62 articles from 19 different countries were submitted, out of which 25 were accepted for inclusion in the conference and for publication; corresponding to an acceptance rate of 40 percent.The contributions are separated into the book’s three sections: (1) Foundational ontological issues; (2) Methodological issues around the development, alignment, verification and use of ontologies; and (3) Domain ontologies and ontology-based applications. In these sections, ontological aspects from a wide variety of fields are covered, primarily from various engineering domains including cybersecurity, manufacturing, petroleum engineering, and robotics, but also extending to the humanities, social sciences, medicine, and dentistry. A noticeable trend among the contributions in this edition of the conference is the recognition that improving the tools to analyze, align, and improve ontologies is of paramount importance in continuing to advance the field of formal ontology.The book will be of interest to all formal and applied ontology researchers, and to those who use formal ontologies and information systems as part of their work.
