============================

The chairs for JOWO 2025 invite proposals for workshops to be held on-site in conjunction with FOIS 2025 which will take place September 8-12, 2025 in Catania, Italy.

The mission of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) is to facilitate collaboration among diverse communities interested in building, reasoning with, and applying formal ontologies in information sciences, artificial intelligence theory and applications, philosophy and cognitive science, and beyond.

As in earlier years, all contributions to accepted workshops will be published open access in a joint CEUR proceedings volume (unless opting out), within the IAOA series at CEUR (http://ceur-ws.org/iaoa.html). This series is indexed by SCOPUS and DBLP.
