SUMMARY:International Conference on Formal Ontolog
 y in Information Systems (FOIS-2006), Baltimore MD

LOCATION:Baltimore MD, USA
DESCRIPTION:Researchers in such areas as artificia
 l intelligence, formal and computational linguisti
 cs, biomedical informatics, conceptual modeling, k
 nowledge engineering and information retrieval hav
 e come to realise that a solid foundation for thei
 r research calls for serious work in ontology, und
 erstood as a general theory of the types of entiti
 es and relations that make up their respective dom
 ains of inquiry. 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.   For more information, see http:
