<span class="" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, serif, EmojiFont; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The FOIS conference is a meeting point for all researchers with an interest in formal ontology. Formal ontology is the systematic
study of the types of entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern information systems. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies. FOIS aims to be
a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational
modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, as well as the Semantic Web.</span></div>
