In rec ent years, a complementary focus of ontological in quiry has gained significant momentum, fueled by t he advent of complex information systems which rel y on robust and coherent formal representations of their subject matter. The systematic study of suc h representations, their axiomatics, their corresp onding reasoning techniques, and their relations t o cognition and reality are at the center of the m odern discipline of formal ontology. The FOIS c onference is designed to provide a meeting point f or researchers from all disciplines with an intere st in formal ontology. The conference encourages s ubmission of high quality articles on both theoret ical issues and concrete applications at the inter section of philosophical ontology, linguistics, lo gic, cognitive science, and computer science, as w ell as in the applications of ontological analysis to conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering, kn owledge management, information-systems developmen t, library and information science, scientific res earch, and semantic technologies in general.

\n Ontology, originally a fundamental part of philoso phical enquiry, is concerned with the analysis and categorization of what exists. In recent years, a complementary focus of ontological inquiry has ga ined significant momentum, fueled by the advent of complex information systems which rely on robust and coherent formal representations of their subje ct matter. The systematic study of such representa tions, their axiomatics, their corresponding reaso ning techniques, and their relations to cognition and reality are at the center of the modern discip line of formal ontology.\n
\n\nT he FOIS conference is designed to provide a meetin g point for researchers from all disciplines with an interest in formal ontology. The conference enc ourages submission of high quality articles on bot h theoretical issues and concrete applications at the intersection of philosophical ontology, lingui stics, logic, cognitive science, and computer scie nce, as well as in the applications of ontological analysis to conceptual modeling, knowledge engine ering, knowledge management, information-systems d evelopment, library and information science, scien tific research, and semantic technologies in gener al. \n
