DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Call for papers</strong></p>\n<p><strong> Important dates</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Submission deadline: April 30\, 2023</li>\n<li>Review notification: June 10\, 2023</li>\n<li>Camera ready: June 29\, 2023</li>\n<li>Workshop: July 21\, 2023</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>About</strong></p>\n<p>The 7th&nbsp\;Workshop on Foundational Ontology (FOUST VII) is co-located with the 13th International Conference on Formal Ontologies in Information Systems (FOIS 2023)\, hosted by the&nbsp\;GRIIS&nbsp\;in Sherbrooke\, Qu&eacute\;bec\, Canada.</p>\n<p>Foundational ontologies are attempts to systematize those categories of thought or reality which are common to all or almost all subject-matters. Commonly considered examples of such categories include &lsquo\;object&rsquo\;\, &lsquo\;quality&rsquo\;\, &lsquo\;function&rsquo\;\, &lsquo\;role&rsquo\;\, &lsquo\;process&rsquo\;\, &lsquo\;event&rsquo\;\, &lsquo\;time&rsquo\;\, and &lsquo\;place&rsquo\;. 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 organized\, how far its &lsquo\;reach&rsquo\; 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 specialized 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.</p>\n<p><strong>Workshop topics (among others)</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changes to existing foundational ontologies/extensions by new modules</li>\n<li>Novel research on any specific category or topic that is usually covered by foundational ontology (e.g.\, functions\, roles\, time\, mereology\, ontological dependence\, constitution)</li>\n<li>Theoretical results about specific foundational ontologies (e.g.\, consistency proofs\, modularizations\, etc.)</li>\n<li>Application results of foundational ontologies in AI\, the Semantic Web\, Linguistics\, etc.</li>\n<li>Conceptual and formal comparisons and alignments of foundational ontologies</li>\n<li>Relationship and alignment of foundational ontologies and domain ontologies</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Submissions</strong></p>\n<p>We encourage two types of contributions:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Full research paper</strong>: Submitted papers must not exceed 14 pages (excluding the bibliography) and must include an abstract of no more than 250 words.
