Dear colleagues,

the Food, Waste, and Sustainability: Synergizing Ontology Efforts 2025 
Workshop will be held on November 14th as part of the 16th International 
Conference on Biological and Biomedical Ontology (ICBO 2025 
<https://icbo-conference.github.io/icbo2025/>).


Aim

In the last decades, several initiatives have dealt with developing 
ontologies for health, as witnessed by many of the resources provided by 
the Open Biological and Biomedical Ontology (OBO) Foundry. Recently, 
attention has also been given to modeling sustainability issues, which 
resulted in ontologies like Sustainability Core Ontology (SCO) 
<https://github.com/gioUbbiali/Sustainability-Core-Ontology>, 
Sustainable Development Goals Interface Ontology (SDGIO) 
<https://github.com/SDG-InterfaceOntology/sdgio>, Sustainable Met 
Systems Ontology (SuMSO) 
<https://github.com/gioUbbiali/Sustainable-Meat-Systems-Ontology>, and 
Sustainable Development and Climate (SDC) Ontology 
<https://github.com/hbabaie1/Sustainable-Development-and-Climate-SDC-ontology>. 
It is imperative to enhance interconnectedness among these ontologies 
and related applications. In particular, it will be important to 
communicate across different ontology communities to adequately capture 
the intrinsic connections between health and sustainability. This 
workshop aims at promoting discussions in this direction, focusing on 
waste, especially food and plastic waste, as a starting use case. The 
choice of this use case is motivated by the intrinsic relevance that 
this theme holds both in terms of human health and food systems 
sustainability.

Topics of interest for this workshop include, but are not limited to:

  *

    Ontologies, logics, and semantics for sustainability and health.

  *

    Conceptualizations and models of food and plastic waste.

  *

    Ontologies of plastic pollution, including micro- and nanoplastics

  *

    Ontology applications to reduce and upscale waste in food systems.

  *

    Initiatives to synergize sustainability and health ontologies and
    applications across ontology communities.


Important Dates

  *

    Paper submission deadline: 20 October

  *

    Abstract submission deadline: 20 October
