CALL FOR PAPER 7th Workshop on FORMAL ONTOLOGIES MEET INDUSTRY (FOMI 2015) =========================================================== 5. August 2015, Freie Universitaet Berlin, Berlin, Germany http://www.csw.inf.fu-berlin.de/fomi2015/

FOMI is an international forum where academic researchers and industrial practitioners meet to analyse and discuss application issues related to methods, theories, tools and applications based on formal ontologies. Today there is wide agreement that knowledge modelling and the semantic dimension of information plays an increasingly central role in the networked economy: semantic-based applications aim to provide a framework for information and knowledge sharing, reliable information exchange, meaning negotiation and coordination between distinct organizations or among members of the same organization. Often, theoretical ideas seem very promising but their actual implementation brings up unexpected problems and issues. The FOMI 2015 Workshop aims to discuss problems, solutions, perspectives and research directions for both researchers and practitioners. We welcome papers or project descriptions that are aimed at applying formal ontologies in industry. In particular:

- theoretical studies on formal ontologies committed to provide sound bases for industrial applications and to allow formal representation of corporate knowledge; - business experiences on case studies that single out concrete problems and possible solutions; the experience analysis should provide useful insights on social or strategic aspects that might be relevant in the creation and deployment of formal ontologies as well as useful criteria or methods to evaluate ontologies and their effectiveness in applications.

Conference Topics -----------------

The following is not an exhaustive list.

Problems in ontology application:

- practical issues in using ontologies in the enterprise -real cases of successful/unsuccessful use of ontology in business - from legacy systems to the new ontology-driven systems - ontology evaluation - ontology for learning organizations - ontology for business processes and practices - enterprise modeling and business models - ontology for service science and service values

Ontology and knowledge management:

- ontology and ontological methodologies in knowledge management - adaptation of ontologies for companies and organizations - ontology interoperability - ontology development and change within organizations - ontology effectiveness and evaluation - ontology-driven representation of products, services, functionalities, design, processes - ontologies for the know-how - ontologies for corporate knowledge - linguistic representation in organizational knowledge - ontology based content creation

Ontology in practice:

- ontologies for electronic catalogues, e-commerce, e-government - ontologies for marketing - ontologies for finance - ontologies for medical sciences - ontologies for engineering - ontologies for public administration - copyright and privacy issues in ontology based systems
