DRAFT: COMMENTS WELCOME
'''Workshop organized as part of the International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems [http://fois2014.inf.ufes.br/p/home.html FOIS 2014]'''


:Information Artifact Ontologies
Workshop Date: September 22, 2014
:A Full-Day Workshop at FOIS 2014
:Rio de Janeiro, September 22, 2014
:Workshop organized as part of the FOIS (Formal Ontology in Information Systems) 2014 Conference


Information artifacts are artifacts – such as photographs, newspaper articles, entries in databases, computer programs, emails, video clips – which are used in ways that depend on their being about something (having a topic or content or subject-matter). Information artifacts exist in the real world and are used in various ways. In some cases information artifacts are are used in ways that do not depend on their aboutness (as when a newspaper is used to light a fire). In most cases, though, we care about what information artifacts are about, because we exploit this aboutness in achieving our ends.
Conference Dates: September 22-25, 2014
Various attempts have been made to create controlled vocabularies for the consistent formulation of metadata pertaining to entities of these sorts in order to enhance the degree to which the content formulated with their aid will be available to computational reasoning. In addition to their topic (content, aboutness) information artifacts have a variety of further attributes, including format, purpose, evidence, provenance, operational relevance, security markings. Data concerning such attributes (often called ‘metadata’) are vital to the effective exploitation of the reports, images, or signals documents for purposes of discovery and analysis.


A range of resources for the description of such metadata have been developed in the Semantic Web, library science and other communities, including:

==Summary==
This workshop, held in conjunction with the [http://fois2014.inf.ufes.br/p/home.html FOIS 2014] conference, is designed to provide a forum for discussion of both foundational and practical issues relating to the ontological representation of information artifacts. We welcome three types of submissions: tutorial proposals (1-page), longer papers (up to 6 pages), and short progress reports (1-page).

==Background==
Information artifacts such as photographs, newspaper articles, books, entries in databases, computer programs, emails, video clips are entities which can be used in a variety of ways that depend on their being ''about'' something (having a topic or content or subject-matter). Information artifacts also have a variety of further attributes, including format, purpose, evidence, provenance, operational relevance, security markings. Data concerning such attributes (often called ‘metadata’) are vital to the effective exploitation of the reports, images, or signals documents for purposes of discovery and analysis.  


FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO)
Various attempts have been made to create controlled vocabularies for the consistent formulation of such metadata in order to enhance the degree to which the content formulated with their aid will be available to computational reasoning. These include:

I guess it is good to be politically correct and suggest coordination. Maybe the world of health informatics has made me too cynical, but there is nothing I can do if people want to be kings or queens. I really just hope that people make good enough definitions and documentation that results in the ability to map, edit, merge, reuse. I suggest that we ask people to talk about how they expect to disseminate their results and how this will give us useful and usable ontologies- and this means talking about evaluation, also limitations of reasoning/logic behind what they want to do with these ontologies.


The goal of this workshop is to advance coordination of these efforts along the following axes:  
:[http://www.essepuntato.it/lode/http://purl.org/spar/fabio FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO)]
1. discussion of foundational issues concerning the ontological treatment of information artifacts and information entities
2. addressing the relations, and if possible advancing convergence, between IAO, the family of IAO extension ontologies, and other resources developed to represent information artifacts in various domains.
3. sharing of information on existing resources and on plans for further development (including plans for coordination)


The workshop will consist in a mixture of submitted and invited short progress reports under heading 1, together with longer papers (subject to refereeing) under headings 2. and 3. In addition, there will be working session devoted to addressing controversial issues and helping to consolidate plans for future work. Interested participants are invited to submit a one-page description of the issue they plan to address to facilitate progress during the working sessions. We will take steps to ensure that we have at least 6 peer-reviewed papers of a minimum of 5 pages each, in order to allow publication in the CEUR-WS series.

Still needed FOIS uses IOS Press for publication and thus follows their submission template.

However, workshops publishing with CEUR can choose their own submission template. Previous workshops have often used LNCS, which has the advantage of filling a lot of pages with relatively little text, but then it’s not the most beautiful.

==Definition and Scope==
 
The goal of this workshop is to advance work on information artifact ontologies along the following axes:
 
:1. introductory tutorials providing training in the development and use of specific ontologies
 
:2. discussion of foundational issues concerning the ontological treatment of information artifacts and information entities and also concerning issues of dissemination (how can we advance the degree to which different communities use common, useful and usable ontologies)
 
:3. advancing convergence among resources developed to represent information artifacts in various domains
 
:4. sharing of information on existing initiatives and on plans for further development.
 
The workshop will accordingly consist of a mixture of tutorials, longer papers under headings 2. and 3., and short progress reports under heading 4. All tutorial proposals and papers will be refereed.

Summary

This workshop, held in conjunction with the FOIS 2014 conference, is designed to provide a forum for discussion of both foundational and practical issues relating to the ontological representation of information artifacts. We welcome three types of submissions: tutorial proposals (1-page), longer papers (up to 6 pages), and short progress reports (1-page).

Background

Information artifacts such as photographs, newspaper articles, books, entries in databases, computer programs, emails, video clips are entities which can be used in a variety of ways that depend on their being about something (having a topic or content or subject-matter). Information artifacts also have a variety of further attributes, including format, purpose, evidence, provenance, operational relevance, security markings. Data concerning such attributes (often called ‘metadata’) are vital to the effective exploitation of the reports, images, or signals documents for purposes of discovery and analysis.

Various attempts have been made to create controlled vocabularies for the consistent formulation of such metadata in order to enhance the degree to which the content formulated with their aid will be available to computational reasoning. These include:

Adverse Event Reporting Ontology (AERO)
Annotation Ontology
Dublin Core
EDAM
FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO)
Information Artifact Ontology (IAO)
Ontologies using IAO
State Health Databases
LOINC Document Ontology
Ontology of Data Mining (OntoDM)
Systems Biology Ontology (SBO)

Definition and Scope

The goal of this workshop is to advance work on information artifact ontologies along the following axes:

1. introductory tutorials providing training in the development and use of specific ontologies
2. discussion of foundational issues concerning the ontological treatment of information artifacts and information entities and also concerning issues of dissemination (how can we advance the degree to which different communities use common, useful and usable ontologies)
3. advancing convergence among resources developed to represent information artifacts in various domains
4. sharing of information on existing initiatives and on plans for further development.

The workshop will accordingly consist of a mixture of tutorials, longer papers under headings 2. and 3., and short progress reports under heading 4. All tutorial proposals and papers will be refereed.
