SAOA 2017
3er. Simposio Argentino de Ontologías y sus Aplicaciones
3rd Argentinean Symposium on Ontologies and their Applications

This year SAOA is held in the framework of Latin American Conference for Informatics jointly organized by CLEI and SADIO, that gathers the Latin American community of Informatics and proposes a multidisciplinary approach to problems and practices resulting of the advance of information and communication technologies. Ontological Engineering is a multidisciplinary field that deals with the study of the theories, concepts, methodologies and tools supporting the construction of conceptual models shared among a community in specific domains. In the last years there has been a new interest in ontology application to solve modeling problems in several areas of computer science and information system fields, such as Artificial Intelligence, Linguistics, Big Data, Knowledge Management, Semantic Web, Heterogeneous Database Integration, etc.

Worldwide, researchers in all these areas recognize the need for a serious commitment with ontologies in order to provide a basis for their work, where ontologies are seen as a general theory of the types of entities and relations that exist in their research fields. Moreover, in recent years many enterprises related to the application of ontologies and semantic technologies have emerged.

The Argentine Symposium on Ontologies and their Applications aims at providing a meeting point for researchers from different fields as well as professionals from industry having interest on ontologies. SAOA encourages the submission of original contributions ranging from academic research to industrial and business applications having a significant impact as well as lessons learned and best practices in ontology development.
