Submission deadline: 17 April 2024 27 April 2024
Questions to: demo-fois2024@easychair.org
Definition and scope
The demonstration track complements FOIS 2024 full-length paper main tracks by offering an interactive platform for authors to present and discuss their work. We invite demonstrations of tools and methods developed using ontologies, as well as those to create, maintain, integrate, publish, evaluate, and implement ontologies. We also invite demonstrations of novel ontology (anti)patterns and of challenges arising in the ontology engineering life cycle. The goal is to raise the visibility and foster understanding of the dynamic, integrative, and use-oriented aspects of applied ontology, its tools, and its uses.
Areas of interest include (non-exhaustively):
- Ontology-based tools, systems, architectures, methods, languages
- Ontology engineering methods and tools
- Ontology representation languages
- Ontology patterns and anti-patterns
- Positive, negative, or mixed results from the use of an ontology engineering method or tool in practice
- Challenges encountered in the development or application of tools and methods that are not yet well addressed.
We encourage the demonstrations of software tools, patterns, methods, and languages reported in papers accepted for the main tracks. For example, a novel ontology engineering method proposed in a full-length paper in the Application and Methods track can be complemented by demonstrating the method.

15 May 202420 May 2024 - Onsite Conference: 15-19 July 2024

Submission guidelines
Submissions should describe the demonstration subject, the process or action that will be demonstrated, the characteristics or results that will be in focus, and the significance of these for applied ontology.
Demonstration submissions may take either of two forms:
- Short papers (5-9 pages, including bibliography)
- Full papers (10-14 pages, including bibliography).
If the demonstration paper is complementary to another paper at FOIS, it must refer to that paper and describe the difference in content and value. Complementary submissions are encouraged; duplicative submissions are not.
Submissions must:
- Respect the aforementioned page limits
- Be submitted non-anonymously in PDF
- Comply with the 1-column CEUR-ART style
- Supplementary results referenced in the paper must follow the FAIR principles in accordance with the main track instructions. Examples of such results are an ontology or other type of semantic artifact, a methodology, a software, a formalism, a dataset.

As FOIS 2024 will consist of a physical meeting and a virtual meeting, when submitting your paper, indicate which mode of presentation you want. Acceptance will be either for in-person or online presentations when authors can no longer change the modality. Since the number of in-person and online presentations is limited, we encourage authors to be as flexible as possible to maximize their chance of paper acceptance. Read more about presentation modes here.
Publication
Accepted papers will be published in a joint CEUR proceedings volume in the IAOA series, together with those of the Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) and other events collocated with FOIS 2024.
Participation
At least one author of each accepted paper must register at FOIS 2024. Presentations may be held both during the onsite conference in Enschede and during the online session. If a paper has been allocated to the in-person part of the conference, it cannot be presented remotely.
