FOUST IX
9th Edition of the Foundational Ontology Workshop, as part of the 11th Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO 2025), held at the 15th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS)
September 8-9, 2025
University of Catania, Italy
Website: https://foust.inf.unibz.it/foust-ix/
Contact: foustworkshop at gmail.com
Submission deadline: May 25, 2025
============================
About the workshop:
Foundational Ontologies are attempts to systematise very high-level categories of thought or reality. In practical terms, they aim to understand and formalise the meaning of very general terms, such as object, event, property, time, quality, relation, and process. Once formalised, these terms provide the top-level categories that are, in principle, common to many (if not all) domains of application. Consequently, Foundational Ontologies are widely acknowledged as crucial tools for tackling system and software interoperability issues. Despite this recognition, there is less consensus on the specific entities a foundational ontology should cover, its organisational structure, its scope, and even its role in relation to more specialised domain ontologies. This lack of consensus often reflects deep-rooted debates stemming from different philosophical perspectives on reality, mind, and language.
Traditionally, FOUST concentrates on a series of topics in foundational ontology. This encompasses discussing philosophical foundations, presenting new research on specific foundational ontologies, discussing existing foundational ontologies, comparing them, and examining their relevance to the broader ontological enterprise. FOUST IX also welcomes presentations of ongoing research and perspectives that encourage interdisciplinary dialogue among the diverse subfields of applied ontology.
============================
Submissions:
We welcome three types of submissions.
Abstracts for presentation only: 2-3 pages (not included as a paper in the proceedings);
Short papers: 6-9 pages;
Full research papers: 10-14 pages.
Submissions must be sent via EasyChair as a single PDF file and should be formatted in CEUR 1-column format.
