Workshop on Ontology and Rich Semantics: Frameworks and Applications

26th Nov. 2018, Singapore



Explicit rich representations of domain knowledge, models, processes,
historical development, and argumentation are important to support
e-science, e-social science and digital humanities research. Ontologies
define hierarchies of entities and identify important types of relations
between entities. However, to support e-research as well as real
applications, ontologies need to go beyond simple semantics to include
representation of complex structures and systems, dynamic models and
processes, flow of temporal events, as well as discourse structure,
evolution of knowledge, argumentation and information across types of
documents and media.  This workshop will explore frameworks for ontological
representation with rich semantics, and applications in diverse knowledge
domains such as systems analysis and design, molecular biology, clinical
decision support systems, linguistics, law, history, biography, etc.
