3rd Workshop on Ontologies for FAIR and FAIR Ontologies (Onto4FAIR)

Co-Located with the SEMANTiCS Conference, 20-22 September 2023, Leipzig

Workshop date: September 20

Making the huge and diverse kinds of data produced by researchers, data stewards, and service providers, fully reusable and understood requires specific efforts. The Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR) principles were elaborated to address these issues, describing a set of requirements for data reusability and interoperability. These principles have been gaining increasing attention in a range of different areas and applications, including in the industrial area.

A key aspect in making data FAIR is the ability of machines to automatically find, access, interoperate, and reuse data with none or minimal human intervention. For that, the ability of properly and semantically describing data is essential.

The workshop has the following goals:

Topics of Interest

Programme

10:30-10:40 Welcome from the organisers

10:40-11:30 Invited talk

A FAIR Catalog of Ontology-Driven Conceptual Models, Claudenir M. Fonseca (Senior Researcher at Semantics, Cybersecurity & Services (SCS), University of Twente, Enschede, The Netherlands)

Abstract: Multi-domain model catalogs serve as empirical sources of knowledge and insights about specific domains, about the use of a modeling language’s constructs, as well as about the patterns and anti-patterns recurrent in the models of that language crosscutting different domains. They may support domain and language learning, model reuse, knowledge discovery for humans, and reliable automated processing and analysis if built following generally accepted quality requirements for scientific data management. More specifically, not unlike scientific (meta)data, models should be shared according to the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability). In this talk, we report on the construction of a FAIR model catalog for Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modeling research, a trending paradigm lying at the intersection of conceptual modeling and ontology engineering in which the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO) and OntoUML emerged among the most adopted technologies. The catalog, publicly available at https://w3id.org/ontouml-models/, currently includes over one hundred and forty models, developed in a variety of contexts and domains.
