Workshop on Formal Ontologies meet Industry http://emap.fgv.br/fomi-2014/ 22 September, 2014 Rio de Janeiro, Brazil Paper submission deadline: May 22, 2014 (extended to May 30) AIMS AND SCOPE FOMI is an international forum where academic researchers and industrial practitioners meet to analyse and discuss application issues related to methods, theories, tools and applications based on formal ontologies. There is today wide agreement that knowledge modelling and the semantic dimension of information plays an increasingly central role in networked economy: semantic-based applications aim to provide a framework for information and knowledge sharing, reliable information exchange, meaning negotiation and coordination between distinct organizations or among members of the same organization. Often, theoretical ideas seem very promising but their actual implementation brings up unexpected problems and issues. The FOMI 2014 Workshop aims to collect useful experiences and lessons learned by the presentation of: - Experience with problems in ontology application. - new insights on known problematic issues. - new results, successes and observations in ontology implementation. - lessons learned on the best way to apply ontological methodologies to real situations. FOMI 2014 will facilitate open discussion and experience sharing. Very similar problems arise in disparate ontology applications and an open discussion helps to highlight commonalities and to spread ideas for possible solutions. For this reason, FOMI welcomes researchers and practitioners that embrace this perspective without restrictions on the domain they deal with: business, medicine, engineering, finance, law, biology, geography, electronics, etc. IMPORTANT DATES Paper submission deadline: May 22th, 2014 (extended to May 30) Author notification: July 5th, 2014 Electronic versions of papers due: July 20th, 2014 Workshop: September 22th, 2014 SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submitted papers must not exceed 10 pages (including the bibliography) and include an abstract of no more than 300 words.
