[ONTOBRAS 2023] [CFP] 2nd Call for Papers

Call for Papers

ONTOBRAS 2023 - 16th Seminar on Ontology Research in Brazil

(held with the  14th International Conference on Biomedical Ontology - ICBO
2023)

August 28 to September 01, 2023, Brasília – DF, Brasil

https://www.inf.ufrgs.br/ontobras/



The Seminar on Ontology Research in Brazil (ONTOBRAS) aims to bring
together the community of researchers and students investigating Ontology
in Computer Science and Information Science, as well as professionals in
the information industry, providing opportunities and a scientific
environment to exchange knowledge on theories, methods, languages and tools
for ontology engineering and experiences in applying ontologies to solve
various problems.

ONTOBRAS aims to expand and strengthen the Ontology community in Brazil,
through the exchange of experiences among researchers, students and
professionals, and by encouraging proximity between Academia and Industry,
allowing cutting-edge solutions designed in these environments to influence
real applications in different sectors.

Additionally, students whose research regards ontologies will have in the
Doctoral and Masters Consortium on Ontologies (WTDO) a tailored opportunity
to discuss their proposals with experts and receive feedback to advance
their works.

This year, ONTOBRAS will be held with the 14th International Conference on
Biomedical Ontology (ICBO 2023)
<https://icbo-conference.github.io/icbo2023/>.

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit theoretical, technical,
and practical research contributions that directly or indirectly deal with
the topics of interest presented in the call for papers. Papers ranging
from philosophical and theoretical foundations to new technologies and
innovative applications are welcome.
