[CfP] Extended deadline for JOWO paper submissions

[Eric Top]

Dear ontology-engineering enthusiast,

We draw your immediate attention to this call: The submission deadline of all JOWO workshops has been extended to June 14^th, 2025, which means you still have roughly two weeks to finish that report, idea, result, vision, or model that you have been working on. Time to get to work(shops)!

Don’t hesitate, even a small idea can have huge impact. The workshops offer you a chance to plant the small seed that may or may not become the intellectual oak of the future, standing tall, or a delicate bonsai tree, small but oh-so important in the forest of science. A twenty page document titled “Information Management: A proposal” started as an intriguing proposal for a one-year project, and ended being the birth certificate of the internet, signed by one Sir Tim Berners-Lee. Had he not shared his idea with his community at CERN, we would not have been able to send you this e-mail. In this light, what will we miss if you do not share your ideas? Take this chance, we welcome your work within the communities of Joint Ontologies Workshops (JOWO).

You may find landing grounds for your work in one of the following JOWO workshops:

1. Cognition and OntologiesS (CAOS9)
2. 14th International Workshop on Formal Ontologies Meet Industry (FOMI)
3. Fifth International Workshop on Semantic Web and Ontology Design for Cultural Heritage (SWODCH 2025)
4. The Ninth Image Schema Day (ISD9)
5. Integrated Food Ontology Workshop (IFOW 2025)
6. 9th Workshop on Foundational Ontology (FOUST IX)
7. 2nd Playing with Meanings workshop (PwM2)
8. Knowledge Management and process mining for Law (KM4LAW)
9. The 2nd International Workshop on Modeling for Cybersecurity (Shields 2)
10. Second Annual Workshop on Convergence of Large-Language Models and Ontologies (ONTOLLM 2025)
11. Explicit and Implicit Knowledge Extraction (EIKE)
12. Ontologies for Services and Social-good (OSS)
13. Workshop on Promoting Healthy Aging through the Semantic Enrichment of Social Science (PHASES 2025)
14. Perspectival Ontology Workshop on Entities that can be Realized (POWERs)
15. Planning and Ontology Workshop (PLATO)

JOWO is co-hosted with the 15^th International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS), held at Catania from September 8-12, 2025. Please take note of the following dates:
