JOWO SoLEE 2019: Joint Ontology Workshops: Ontology of Social, Legal and Economic Entities Medical University of Graz Graz, Austria, September 23-25, 2019 |
Submission deadline | May 15, 2019 |
Understanding the ontological nature of social, legal and economic concepts and institutions is crucial for providing principled modelling in many important domains such as enterprise modelling, business processes, and social ontology. A significant number of fundamental concepts that are ubiquitous in economics, social, and legal sciences – such as value, risk, capability, good, service, exchange, transaction, competition, social norm, group, institution – have only recently been approached from a specifically ontological perspective. It is therefore important to offer a venue to gather the recent contributions to this topic. The workshop encourages submissions on both theoretical and methodological issues in the use of ontologies for modelling social, legal and economic concepts and institutions, as well as submissions on concrete use of ontologies in application for these domains.
The workshop wants
• to collect approaches to deal with social, legal and economic entities in foundational and applied ontologies and
• discuss applications of these approaches to social, legal and economic entities in ontologies for biomedicine and business informatics.
