Announcement
The 2023 Basic Formal Ontology Summit Meeting will be held May 23rd-25th, 2023. The aims of the meeting are:
- to bring together researchers who have played an important role in the development and application of BFO, to highlight the practical impact and value of using BFO as a top-level architecture,
- to identify and work through outstanding issues experienced by users of BFO,
- to begin the creation of a set of BFO-conformant ontologies in the domain of government policy and data
Subsidiary goals are:
- to showcase real-world examples of incorporation of BFO in development pipelines and their practical impacts
- to promote collaboration across different groups of BFO users
- to share case studies illustrating challenges arising in BFO use, evaluation, interpretation, and revision
- to reveal differences in interpretation of BFO terms and relations, and of associated strategies for using BFO
- to share strategies of evaluation of BFO from different user bases
- to identify and disseminate strategies for improving the quality of BFO-based ontologies
Paper and Workshop Presentations
Those wishing to present a paper at this meeting, including at the workshops mentioned below, should submit a short abstract (~200 words) to John Beverley [1] before February 15th. Confirmation of acceptance will be issued by February 28th. Paper presentations are especially welcome on applications, uses cases, and practical aspects of employing BFO. See below for more descriptions of desirable presentation topics.
Those wishing to present a workshop should contact Barry Smith [2] as soon as possible. Note that we are planning for a meeting consisting entirely of plenary sessions. Hence, the number of workshops will be kept to a minimum.
Workshops chairs will decide each workshop structure (for example: panel, successive talks, one talk + responses, etc.); each workshop will be approximately 1-2 hours in length.
Registration
Registration will be made available online shortly, with the following early-bird fees:
- Students - None
- Junior Faculty/Postdocs - $100
- Senior Faculty, Government, Industry - $300
These fees are designed primarily to cover venue and refreshment costs.
We are currently exploring possibilities for zoom participation, but given the goals of the event, strongly encourage in-person participation.
