Formal ontology is the systematic study of the types of entities and relations making up the domains of interest represented in modern information systems. FOIS 2023 will have distinct tracks for foundational issues, ontology applications and methods, and domain ontologies. FOIS aims to be a nexus of interdisciplinary research and communication for researchers from many domains engaging with formal ontology. Common application areas include conceptual modeling, database design, knowledge engineering and management, software engineering, organizational modeling, artificial intelligence, robotics, computational linguistics, the life sciences, bioinformatics and scientific research in general, geographic information science, information retrieval, library and information science, as well as the Semantic Web.</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">FOIS is the flagship conference of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA: </span><a href="http://iaoa.org/" style="text-decoration: none;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(17, 85, 204); font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">http://iaoa.org/</span></a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">), which is a non-profit organization promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration in formal ontology.</span></div><br class=""><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">Key Notes Speakers</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">=================</span></div><div style="line-height: 1.38; margin-left: 5pt; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;" class=""><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: 700; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;" class="">.
