About ONTOBRAS 2025
Ontology is an interdisciplinary field that studies concepts and theories that provide the foundation for the construction of shared conceptualizations of specific domains. In recent years, we have seen a growing interest in the application of ontologies to solve modeling and classification problems in various areas such as: Computer Science, Information Science, Philosophy, Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Knowledge Management, Biomedicine, Semantic Web, among others.
The Seminar on Ontology Research in Brazil (ONTOBRAS) envisions an opportunity and provides a scientific environment where researchers and professionals from the aforementioned fields can exchange knowledge about theories, methodologies, languages, tools, and experiences related to the theoretical foundation, development, and application of ontologies.
In its 18th edition, ONTOBRAS 2025 is part of a tradition that has existed since 2005 in Brazil and was defined by the Brazilian Ontology Community as the unique, scientifically qualified forum for presenting and discussing ontologies and application cases in Brazil.
This edition of Ontobras will have the theme “The Influence of Ontologies in Generative AI.” It is a current topic of great general interest, both in academia and the productive sector. In this sense, recent studies have shown how ontologies and knowledge graphs have contributed to improving the quality of responses from generative AI. This theme will also serve to further bring academia and the productive sector together to advance research, partnerships, and the development of applications and products.
ONTOBRAS 2025 will be held in person at the Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica (ITA) and the Faculdade de Ciências Médicas Humanitas in São José dos Campos, SP.
ITA: Praça Marechal do Ar Eduardo Gomes, 50, DCTA – Vila das Acácias.
Humanitas: Avenida Isaur de Pinho Nogueira, 5900 – Vila Tatetuba.
Support
The ONTOBRAS series has support from the International Association for Ontology and Applications (IAOA), a non-profit organization with the purpose of promoting interdisciplinary research and international collaboration at the intersection of philosophical ontology, linguistics, logic, cognitive science, and computer science. The IAOA also provides forums for the development of applications of ontological analysis to conceptual modeling, knowledge engineering, knowledge management, information-systems development, library and information science, scientific research, and semantic technologies in general.
ONTOBRAS proceedings are published under the IAOA Series at CEUR-WS.org , and the Brazilian seminar is part of the IAOA events calendar.
Join IAOA and become part of this international community. Individual registrations are free of charge, and members enjoy a list of benefits, including free access to IOS Press publications relevant to the field of ontology:
- Applied Ontology – An Interdisciplinary Journal on Ontological Analysis and Conceptual Modeling
- Proceedings of the International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS)
- Proceedings of the International Conference on Formal Ontology Meets Industry (FOMI)
The 2025 edition is pleased to count on the support of the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP), whose contribution enhances and strengthens the realization of the event.
