=============================

Playing with Meanings returns this year to the Joint Ontology Workshops program for its second iteration, PwM2, a full-day workshop that continues the exploration of games, play and ontology- based group conceptual modelling. Participants to the workshop will be guided through a series of structured, rule-based, discursive interactions that are designed to incite stimulating discussion around the topic of ontologies and conceptual modelling as mediums for eliciting, mediating and visualising shared understandings. Playing with Meanings takes a distinctly human-centric approach, exploring participatory methods for inclusion and diversity, collectively voicing perspectives, experiences and worldview(s) while co-producing formal, human- and machine-readable knowledge.
