Conference Description
----------------------
Since its inception ten years ago, the International Conference on
FormalOntology in Information Systems has explored the multiple
perspectives on the notion of ontology that have arisen from such
diverse research communities as philosophy, logic, computer science,
cognitive science, linguistics, and various scientific domains. As
ontologies have been applied innew and exciting domains such as the
World Wide Web, bioinformatics, andgeographical information systems, it
has become evident that there is a need for ontologies that have been
developed with solid theoretical foundations based on philosophical,
linguistic, and logical analysis. Similarly, there is also a need for
theoretical research that is driven by the issues that have been raised
by recent work in the more applied domains. FOIS is intended to be a
forum in which to explore this interplay betweenthe theoretical
insights of formal ontology and their application to information systems
and emerging semantic technologies. (02)
