Announcement

The 2023 Basic Formal Ontology Summit Meeting will be held May 23rd-25th, 2023. The aims of the meeting are:

  1. 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,
  2. to identify and work through outstanding issues experienced by users of BFO,
  3. 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
