Dear colleagues, (01)
I have the pleasure to announce that the International Association
for Ontology and its Applications has been born. (02)
Formally established in Trento, Italy in April 2009, after an open
meeting at the FOIS 2008 conference, IAOA is a non-profit, open
association with the purpose of promoting interdisciplinary research
and international collaboration at the intersection of philosophical
ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer science,
as well as in the applications of ontological analysis to conceptual
modeling, knowledge engineering, knowledge management, information-
systems development, library and information science, scientific
research and semantic technologies in general. (03)
IAOA is open to all individuals and institutions who share its goals. (04)
For the statute, list of activities, membership benefits, mailing list
and other information, please visit http://www.iaoa.org. (05)
To present this initiative, which enjoys the friendly cooperation with
the Ontolog Forum, the IAOA Executive Council has organized a public
Ontolog telecon on Thursday, Jun 18, at 10:30 PDT, 19:30 CEST. See
details at (06)
