Applied Ontology (AO)

Applied Ontology is a peer‑reviewed interdisciplinary academic journal dedicated to advancing the theory and practice of ontological analysis and conceptual modeling. It provides a scholarly forum for research that rigorously investigates the nature, structure, and representation of information content — that is, what exists in a given domain and how such domains can be conceptually modeled and applied in technology and science. The journal bridges formal philosophical perspectives on categories and relations with practical modeling concerns in computer science, knowledge engineering, information systems, artificial intelligence, and the Semantic Web. It emphasizes high‑quality theoretical analysis together with applications that demonstrate how ontological insights can inform real‑world systems, such as data integration, semantic interoperability, domain modeling, and ontology engineering. Articles cover topics such as formal ontology, conceptual model semantics, ontological foundations of artificial intelligence, linguistic and cognitive structures in modeling, and tools and methodologies for developing robust ontologies that support complex problem solving across disciplines. By encouraging accessible language and interdisciplinary engagement, the journal fosters dialogue among philosophers, computer scientists, linguists, and practitioners working on foundational and applied aspects of ontologies. Applied Ontology is recognized and indexed in major scientific databases, reflecting its role in shaping research at the intersection of philosophy, logic, computer science, and information theory.
