Workshop Topics
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Foundational ontologies are attempts to systematise those categories of
thought or reality which are common to all or almost all subject-matters.
Commonly considered examples of such categories include 'object',
'quality', 'function', 'role', 'process', 'event', 'time', and 'place'.
Amongst existing foundational ontologies, there is both a substantial
measure of agreement and some dramatic disagreements. There is currently no
uniform consensus concerning how a foundational ontology should be
organised, how far its 'reach' should be (e.g., is the distinction between
physical and non-physical entities sufficiently fundamental to be included
here?), and even what role it should play in relation to more specialised
domain ontologies. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for
researchers to present work on specific foundational ontologies as well as
foundational ontologies in general and their relations to each other and to
the wider ontological enterprise.

Relevant topics include:

- Changes to existing foundational ontologies / extension by new modules

- Any specific category or topic usually covered by foundational ontology
(e.g., functions, roles, time, mereology)

- Theoretical results about specific foundational ontologies (e.g.,
consistency proof of significant parts of an existing foundational ontology)

- Comparison and alignments of foundational ontologies

- Relationship between foundational ontologies and domain ontologies

- Applications of foundational ontologies in AI, Semantic Web, Linguistics,
etc.
