SUMMARY:9th International Conference on Formal Ont
 ology in Information Systems (FOIS 2016), Annecy, 
 France
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160706
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160709
LOCATION:Annecy, France
DESCRIPTION:Ontology, originally a fundamental par
 t of philosophical enquiry, is concerned with the 
 analysis and categorization of what exists. 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.   For
  more information, see http://iaoa.org/fois2016/

 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      </p>\n      <p>\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
