Topics of interest (include but are not restricted to)
Epistemological Foundation of Ontologies:
  • Cognitive foundations of ontologies (e.g. connection with conceptual spaces, diagrammatic representations, mental models, prototypes, image schemas, scripts, etc.).
  • Empirical foundations of ontologies: ontologies driven from observations, measurements, tests, and in general from data acquired using empirical procedures.
  • Representation of different perspectives on the same domain: contexts, granularity, resolution, ontological levels.
  • Quantitative approaches/analyses, probabilities, uncertainty, and ontologies.
  • Neural networks and ontological modelling.
  • Integration of ontologies with different formats and levels of representation (e.g. neural-symbolic integration).
  • Inductive reasoning in ontologies.
  • Ontological extensions of cognitive architectures.
Ontological Foundation of Epistemology:
  • Ontology of propositional attitudes (knowledge, belief, etc.).
  • Ontology of cognitive theories (e.g. conceptual spaces, image schemas, patterns, prototypes).
  • Ontology of data, observations, and sensors (provenance, trust, quality, reliability).
  • Ontological approaches to sensor data analysis and data elaboration.
  • Ontology of truth-makers.
