Ontology Day (with visitors from Toronto), October 24, 2022

The goal of this set of meetings is:

1. to identify ways in which we and our Toronto ontologist colleagues can learn from each other

2. to explore potential avenues of collaboration. The outline program below is still in draft form.

We have organized three sessions:

10:00 - 11:30: Morning session in the Department of Biomedical Informatics, 77 Goodell Street, Buffalo, NY 14203 (= Downtown Buffalo). This will include short talks on the biomedical ontology work in UB, together with general presentations of the approaches to ontology of the two groups. Will include also a presentation of referent tracking.

12:15-1:00 Lunch session (bring your own food) in 141 Park Hall on the North Campus. This is for informal exchanges of ideas, including discussions of future possibilities of collaboration.)

1:00 - 3:30: Formal session in 141 Park Hall. This will include short talks on specific ontologies and use-cases we are developing followed by an extensive period for discussion. Topics will include Smart Cities, Services, Industrial Ontologies, Enterprise Ontologies. (A detailed list will follow.)

More details will be supplied in due course. For questions please contact BS at ifomis@gmail.com.
