JOWO 2019


Artificial Intelligence



The Joint Ontology WOrkshops (JOWO 2019) will take place on September 23-25 in Graz, Austria. Previous JOWO editions were held in conjunction with FOIS 2018 in Cape Town (South Africa), in 2017 in Bolzano (Italy), in conjunction with FOIS 2016 in Annecy (France), and at IJCAI 2015 in Buenos Aires (Argentina).
The JOWO workshops address a wide spectrum of topics related to ontology research, ranging from Cognitive Science to Knowledge Representation, Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence, Logic, Philosophy, and Linguistics. JOWO is especially suitable for interdisciplinary and innovative formats.
