JOWO 2026 Episode XII: The Tropical Spring of Ontology

21–25 September 2026, Vitória, ES, Brazil – co-located with FOIS 2026

============================



The mission of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) series
<https://www.iaoa.org/jowo/> is to join forces of the diverse communities
interested in building, reasoning with, and applying formalized ontologies
in the wide spectrum of information sciences, knowledge representation,
artificial intelligence theory and applications, logic, philosophy,
linguistics, cognitive science, and beyond. JOWO 2026 is the twelfth
edition of the series, and will be held on-site in conjunction with FOIS
2026, during the first days of the conference which will take place in Vitória,
Brazil, from 21st to 25th September 2026.

The chairs for JOWO 2026 invite researchers and practitioners interested in
theory, practice, development, and/or application of ontologies and related
areas to submit workshop proposals for review. The goal of the workshops is
to provide a forum for researchers to discuss emerging research questions
and challenges in ontology research.

The contributions to the accepted workshops will be published open access
in a joint CEUR proceedings volume (unless opting out), within the IAOA
series at CEUR <http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html>. This series is indexed by
SCOPUS and DBLP.
