researchers and students that investigate the topic of Ontology in the context
of Computer Sciences and Information Sciences, as well as IT, industry
professionals, promoting opportunities and a scientific environment for the
exchange of knowledge about theories, methods, ontology engineering tools and
languages and experiences in the application of ontologies in the solution of
various problems.
The seminar aims to expand and strengthen the community of Ontologies in Brazil, through the exchange of experiences between researchers, students, and professionals, and by encouraging proximity between Academia and Industry, allowing cutting-edge solutions designed in these environments to influence real applications in different sectors.
Researchers and professionals are invited to submit their contributions to theoretical, technical, and practical research that directly or indirectly deal with the topics of interest presented in the list below. Papers covering philosophical and theoretical foundations to new technologies and innovative applications are welcome.
The 14th Ontology Research Seminar in Brazil (ONTOBRAS 2021) will be ONLINE and FREE to be held on November 16, 17, 18 and 19, 2021.
