JOWO shared keynote speakers: 
Giancarlo Guizzardi (Free University of Bozen-Bolzano),  will speak on: 
"It's Patterns all the way down: Patterns, Anti-Patterns and Pattern-Languages for Next-Generation Ontology Engineering"
Antonio Chella (University of Palermo) will speak on: 
"Grounding ontologies in the external world".
Todd Oakley (Case Western Reserve University) will speak on 
"What We Think About When We Talk About Money: Social Ontology and the Amalgamated Mind"


The image  schema day:
Image schemas, in one view, can be seen as the conceptual building blocks inferred from early sensorimotor processes. Research on image-schematic constructs (such as VERTICALITY, CONTAINMENT, SOURCE-PATH-GOAL, or FORCE)  has traditionally been conducted in cognitive linguistics, but  schemas have also been given some attention in semiotics, philosophy, developmental psychology, and design, among other fields. Recently, some schools in artificial intelligence have also become interested in the potential impact of image schemas as a bridge between the physical world and the human mind.

A psychologist might study how children develop them; a philosopher might structure them ontologically; a neuroscientist might  wonder how directly they are connected to neural activation in the  sensorimotor cortex; a linguist might wonder what spatial language and embodiment in general have to do with abstract concepts; a musicologist might ask how image schemas are related to musical gesture; an AI specialist might work on how to integrate image schemas into a system for natural language understanding; and in cognitive robotics, researchers might wonder how image schemas can help robots in achieving human-level performance in a variety of tasks.

We hope to see an interdisciplinary meeting focused on the topic of image schemas and related constructs, where participants contribute with insights from their own discipline.



The workshop will take place at the third Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO),  where ten ontology-centered workshops meet for three days in an exciting joint event at the Free University of Bozen-Bolzano. The inspiring environment, tucked in between the South Tyrollean Alps, promises to provide an excellent setting to discuss innovative and state of the art research. Please join us!


We look forward to seeing you in Bolzano!
Maria, Mihailo and Oliver
