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.
