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

About the workshop:

Foundational Ontologies are attempts to systematise very high-level 
categories of thought or reality. In practical terms, they aim to 
understand and formalise the meaning of very general terms, such as 
object, event, property, time, quality, relation, and process. Once 
formalised, these terms provide the top-level categories that, in 
principle, are common to many (if not all) domains of application. 
Consequently, Foundational Ontologies are widely acknowledged as crucial 
tools for tackling system and software interoperability issues. Despite 
this recognition, there is less consensus on the specific entities a 
foundational ontology should cover, its organisational structure, its 
scope, and even its role in relation to more specialised domain 
ontologies. This lack of consensus often reflects deep-rooted debates 
stemming from different philosophical perspectives on reality, mind, and 
language.


Traditionally, FOUST concentrates on a series of topics in foundational 
ontology. This encompasses discussing philosophical foundations, 
presenting new research on specific foundational ontologies, discussing 
existing foundational ontologies, comparing them, and examining their 
relevance to the broader ontological enterprise. FOUST X also welcomes 
presentations of ongoing research and perspectives that encourage 
interdisciplinary dialogue among the diverse subfields of applied ontology.
