As the need for integrating resea rch in these different fields arises, so does the realisation that strong principles for building we ll-founded ontologies might provide significant ad vantages over ad hoc, case-based solutions. The pu rpose of FOIS is to provide a forum for genuine in terdisciplinary exchange in the spirit of a unifie d effort towards solving the problems of ontology, with an eye to both theoretical issues and concre te applications.
