LLMs and Ontology Engineering at JOWO 2025

The rapid development and deployment of Large-Language Models (LLMs) has led to growing interest in leveraging ontologies and knowledge graphs to enhance LLM capabilities and address limitations. Combining the semantically rich architectures provided by ontologies and knowledge graphs with the generative strengths of LLMs promises to provide a path towards more explainable artificial intelligence systems, more trustworthy output, and a deeper understanding of vulnerabilities arising from integrated architectures.

This workshop is dedicated to exploring the convergence of knowledge representation and LLM strategies, design patterns, models, and benchmarks. We aim to bring together researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts from industry, academia, and government in the interest of exploring possible convergence points and advancing each field.

The deadline has been extended for submissions to June 1.

We invite submissions for our workshop focusing on the intersection of Applied Ontology and Large Language Models as part of Joint Ontologies Workshop (JOWO) episode XI, affiliated with FOIS 2025.

Promoting Healthy Aging at JOWO 2025

I want to live forever. Not metaphorically; I literally want to be immortal. I have no idea what research should be prioritized to make this a reality, but I suspect facilitating the generation of novel hypotheses and research avenues out of the vast amount of biomedical, psychological, and health-related data we have been storing for decades, will be key.

Now, I don't just want to be immortal, I want to be immortal and healthy. Aging in a healthy manner is perhaps an easier problem to tackle. Baby steps, I suppose.

With this in mind, I encourage you to submit to the Promoting Healthy Aging through Semantic Enrichment of Solitude Research (PHASES) workshop, the deadline for which has been extended to June 1st.

Maybe being immortal isn't your goal; but don't let that stop you from helping me live my best (unending) life.

As if you need any more enticement, PHASES will be part of the 2025 Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO), which will be co-located with FOIS 2025, and held on 8-9 September, in Catania, Italy.
