Dear Fernanda Farinelli,

We are pleased to invite submissions to the 18th Seminar on Ontology
Research in Brazil (ONTOBRAS 2025) and the 9th Doctoral and Masters
Consortium on Ontologies (WTDO 2025), to be held in person at the
Aeronautics Institute of Technology (ITA) and the Faculty of Medical
Sciences Humanitas, both located in São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil,
from September 29 to October 2, 2025.

The Seminar on Ontology Research in Brazil (ONTOBRAS) is a scientific venue
for researchers and practitioners in fields such as Computer Science,
Information Science, Philosophy, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, and
Knowledge Management to exchange ideas on ontological theories,
methodologies, tools, and applications. ONTOBRAS is supported by the
International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA).

ONTOBRAS 2025 will focus on the theme: "The Influence of Ontologies in
Generative AI."  This is a highly relevant and timely topic, highlighting
the role of ontologies and knowledge graphs in enhancing the performance
and reliability of generative AI systems. The theme aims to promote
dialogue and collaboration between academia and industry.
