_WIP - NOT READY FOR PRODUCTION_ The Academic Event Ontology (AEON) is used to represent information regarding academic events. The ontology supports the identification, development, management, evaluation, and impact assessment of events, components of events and event series, as well as identification and reuse of works presented or developed at events. The ontology is independent of knowledge, creative domain, or topics related to events. AEON is focused on events and assumes the representation of many entities associated with events such as attendees, locations, academic works, datetimes, and processes are defined in compatible ontologies.
AEON is being developed as a part of the ConfIDent project (https://projects.tib.eu/confident).

This data property associates a telephone number with a contributor
It needs to be discussed, if we need this information to be modeled more finegrained using e.g. iao:'email address' (see also https://github.com/information-artifact-ontology/IAO/issues/130). For now it seems sufficient to have a data property.

{"wikidata": {"uri": "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P2936", "label": "language_usedLabel"}}
This data property should be used to provide the language that is officially spoken at an event. Its xsd:string range should preferrably be encoded in the ISO 639-1 standard (e.g. German would be "de").
It needs to be discussed, if a data property is sufficient for our use case, or if it might be better to model the officially spoken language of an academic event as a generically dependent continuant that participates in this planned process as sugessted by the developers of the language ontology (https://github.com/vivo-ontologies/language-ontology/wiki/Usage).
event language
A data property to provide a literal value for the location (e.g. address) of an organized sociocultural event.

The 19th International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2020) is an academic event.
An organized sociocultural event that refers to a gathering of researchers (not necessarily academics) in which these researches have the chance to present and discuss their work and possible future collaborations, according to a certain sociocultural format that is specified more or less explicitly in the announcement of the academic event.
Defining the boundaries that set academic events apart is hard from an ontological perspective, as the labels used for demarcation, such as conference, congress or annual meeting, vary depending on sociocultural contexts. Sometimes they are used synonymously and sometimes to demark their difference.
TODO: * It needs to be discussed, if we need the "process boundary" class to describe the start and end of an academic event or event series. * It needs to be discussed, if we need the "temporal region" and "spatiotemporal region" classes to describe the duration and manifestation in spacetime of an academic event or event series.

International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC)
An academic event that is the ordered set of all recurring academic events of a destinct identity. This destinct identity is usually demarked by a shared name that only differs with regard to some ordnial symbol, such as 1st or the year of the academic event.
An internal identifier is an iao:identifier that is only meant to be used inside the reference system, such as an application, in which it is declared.
The alternative term "ConfIDent ID" is used here, as the ontology is being developed by the ConfIDent project (https://projects.tib.eu/en/confident) to be used in its service. Thus the internal identifier is called "ConfIDent ID". You will probably want to change that in your implementation.
internal identifier
The parts of an academic event website that state: the official name of an academic event, its topic and academic field, when it is going to take place and where, what the schedule/program is, what kind of deadlines have to be adhered to for submitting work to be present, whether or not one has to pay to attend and how much, etc.
A sociocultural event format that states that the primary purpose (objective) of an organised sociocultural event is to facilitate a knowledge exchange between the participants of that event within the context of an academic field.
academic event format
The contributor role inheres in a person or organization that participates in a planned process by somehow contributing to it.
deprecated_aeon contributor role
A role that inheres in a person or organization that is somehow responsible for the planning, management and realization of an organized sociocultural event.
In the context of academic events this role would be the one held by a group pf people often refered to as the event's "general committee".
event organizer role
OBSOLETE An event organizer role that inheres in a person who is a member of an event committee and thus performs certain actions associated with the objectives/functions of that event committee.
DEPRECATION REASON: This role is not needed, as the oostt:"committee member role" relation is sufficient enough.
deprecated_event committee member role
An event organizer role that inheres in a person who is designated to be responsible for the actions and outcomes of an event committee.
event committee chair role
A role that inheres in a person who is designated to answer inquiries regarding an organized sociocultural event.
A possible parent class is OMRSE:"role in human social processes" (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OMRSE_00002072), which wasn't used due to the error reported in https://github.com/ufbmi/OMRSE/issues/188#issuecomment-1272083405. Another possible parent could be ICO:"contact person role" (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ICO_0000230), which could also be a child of OMRSE:"role in human social processes", but isn't. However, ICO:"contact person role" wasn't reused due to the intended type restriction stated in its rdfs:comment.
event contact person role
A role that inheres in a person who contributes to an event, such as a conference, by attending it. For this role to be realized, there needs to be some kind of event accreditation sub-process.
event attendee role
The moderating role inheres in a person that contributes to a planned process by facilitating the communication.
event moderator role
Someone who reviews a manuscript submitted for publication or presentation at an academic event bears a reviewer role.
A role that inheres in a person who is designated to analyse and judge the information (e.g. text or code) that is the specified input of a particular reviewing process. This role is realized when the reviewing process has been completed as intended.
The Contributor Role Ontology CRO contains a role that seems equivalent (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/CRO_0000101), but which cannot be used instead, as long as https://github.com/data2health/contributor-role-ontology/issues/135 is not sufficiently answered.
peer-review role
human reviewer role
A role that inheres in a person who speaks about a certain topic at a organized sociocultural event, either in form of presenting or teaching information to an audience.
Could be replaced with the CRO equivalent, if the proposal made in https://github.com/data2health/contributor-role-ontology/issues/134 is being accepted and merged.
invited speaker role
presenter role
A presenter role that inheres in a person who participates in an organized sociocultural event by holding a keynote speech.
keynote speaker role
A role that inheres in a person or organization who provides money, material ressources or special services needed in the realization of an organized sociocultural event in return of being officially credited for this role.
PS 2-9-2020: There is still the open question on how to best model different sponsor types (e.g. gold, silver, bronze...).
The difference of this role to the obi:'sponsor role' (http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OBI_0000243) is that the latter has the constraint to be a sponsor of scientific studies.

The Zoom room in which an online conference is being held is a virtual location, that exists as long as the IT infrastructure on which it runs (is being realized) is not failing or turned off by an agent with the capability to do so.
The service Twitter provides is a virtual location, in which the Twitter users can communicate with each other in a mostly text-based mode.
A realizable entity that provides a digital space for humans and computers to interact with one another in various digital modes (e.g. text, audio, video, tactile). It specifically depends on the IT infrastructure that is used to realize the virtual location in the planned process of running certain code on certain computers.

"Our research colloquium serves as the key meeting point for all fellows to share, discuss, and support each other’s work. Participation in the colloquium allows fellows to reflect on their ongoing research and gain knowledge of current research done in other academic fields. Unlike most academic settings, the program deliberately promotes a cross-disciplinary dialogue. In order to cultivate such exchanges, we organize theory and methodology workshops, invite public intellectuals and artists, screen films, and explore Berlin on thematic city walks. Throughout the academic year, the colloquium thus serves as a base to develop the projects and build cooperation between our researchers."
A sociocultural event format that specifies the general set-up of an event labeled as a colloquium.
colloquium format
An academic event whose sociocultural event format denotes it as a colloqium.
A possible definition could be the following, where one can also see how the definition depends on certain planned objectives, conditions and actions: A colloquium is an academic event that usually lasts only a few hours and serves to discuss a specific topic. Colloquia are usually part of the academic exchange in everyday university life with only one speaker, but can also take place on special occasions (anniversaries, start or end of the lecture phase, etc.) and can have more than one speaker.

A sociocultural event format that specifies the general set-up of an event labeled as a conference.
conference format
An academic event whose sociocultural event format denotes it as a conference.
A possible literature based definition could be the following, where one can also see how the definition depends on certain planned objectives, conditions and actions: A conference is an academic event that lasts up to several days and serves as a forum for presentations on a specific topic or subject area. In addition to subject-specific conferences, there are also interdisciplinary conferences which allow both a broader focus and more specific questions on a particular (academic) problem. Conferences often have a highly formalized structure of parallel, clearly defined sessions with several short presentations and plenary sessions with invited (keynote) speakers who are considered multipliers in their (research) field. Ideally, the selection of the speakers and their contributions is subject to a review process.

A sociocultural event format that specifies the general set-up of an event labeled as a symposium.
symposium format
An academic event whose sociocultural event format denotes it as a symposium.
A possible literature based definition could be the following: A symposium is a specific type of conference with a narrower thematic focus, with fewer participants and of shorter duration. The degree of structuring lies between a classic conference and a workshop, allows more discussion than the larger conference, but is usually more formalized than the workshop.

A sociocultural event format that specifies the general set-up of an event labeled as a congress.
congress format
An academic event whose sociocultural event format denotes it as a a congress. It usually is a larger type of conference with regard to the number of participants and organizers.
A possible literature based definition could be the following: A congress is a conference that is characterised by a larger number of participants (often several hundred) and is oftentimes organised jointly by large, established (e.g. specialised societies) and/or several institutions. Congresses have a broader thematic focus than simple conferences, take place in certain cycles, but can still target an exclusive group of participants (e.g. representatives of a single discipline).

hybrid event
A plan specification that defines an organized sociocultural event by providing its topic or purpose, as well as implicit and explicit details on who is suppose to attend and how this event is planned to be carried out by its participants, in terms of achieving particular objectives, fulfilling particular conditions and performing particular actions.
When we speak of implicit details in the definition of this class, we mean the fact that, apart from explicitly providing information about e.g. the location and participation conditions of such an event in its announcement, details regarding its sociocultural format often remains tacit and are implied by the use of commonly known event type labels. Saying for example, "We're happy to announce the 11th international conference on sociolinguistics.", implies this 'conference' to be planned and executed by legitimate organizers, to have a certain formal code of conduct expected to be adhered to by the participants, or that is intended for a rather large and diverse audience. Similarly denoting an organized sociocultural event as a "birthday party", implies that one has to be invited to attend, or that one would be considered rude if one were to 'steel the show' from the person being celebrated.
sociocultural event format
A planned process that is a gathering of people organized by one or more people for a particular purpose, often with a particular theme and to be realized within a particular sociocultural format. It may be one-time, occasional or sporadic, or recurring/periodic.
There are certain children of this “organized sociocultural event” class, that are most likely unproblematic to define using an Aristotelian approach, such as "party", "online event", "business event", "networking event" or "academic event". All of these are organised sociocultural events (OSCEs) with a rather clear theme, purpose and shared implied event format. A party, for example, will in most cultures be an OSCE that serves the purpose to celebrate something and its format will in most cases be rightly expected to be informal. Similarly, a business event will in most cultures be considered an OSCE with the primary goal of doing some form of business and thus its participants are expected to adhere to certain conventions on how to behave according to the sociocultural context of the particular OSCE. However, as soon as we try to get more specific in the definition of possible OSCE subclasses, we run into the problem of finding appropriate differentia criteria and that there is a multitude of possible combinations of such very general concepts. For example, we would need to define an "online business networking party" class, if we needed to represent an OSCE that entails all of these aspects as central part of its theme and context dependent sociocultural event format. Thus, the children of OSCEs should not be understood as universal classes but rather always as defined classes, if we need to take into account that the labels, used to denote the concepts representing the various types of OSCEs, differ depending on the social and cultural context in which they are used. In other words these concepts might better be understood as sociocultural constructs or prototypes. The dimensions in which OSCEs are to be defined by their sociocultural event format are the obvious "what", "when", "who", "where", and "how" questions. As planned processes they are determined by a plan to facilitate a gathering of people according to some kind of purpose or theme and sociocultural format. Yet, such a plan is not something we can easily make assertions about, since it resides in the brains of the participants of an OSCEs. What we can make assertions about is the communicated information from which the specification of an OSCE plan can be derived. What the organizers of an OSCE have stated about their plan, makes up the sociocultural format that defines the characteristics of an OSCE. Hence, we narrow the OBI pattern of defining a planned process via its plan specification, by introducing a special type of plan specification, called sociocultural event format, to define this class and its children, well knowing that this adds a layer of complexity usually not needed in human communication, but needed to enable machine reasoning. This class is only defined as a placeholder in AEON and should actually better be defined in a more general OBO based or BFO aligned ontology. Its current inclusion in AEON is thus meant only as a demonstration of the proposed organized sociocultural event pattern.

As last year, VIVO 2021 will be an online, virtual conference. We encourage submissions from people who are new to the VIVO community, and formats that work well online. We are planning two session lengths: presentations (20 minutes) & lightning talks (6 minutes). Your presentation or lightning talk may take the form of a demonstration (screen share in Zoom), a panel discussion, an interview, a virtual poster (single slide), a brainstorming session, an interactive survey session, or other. The lightning talk can be seen as a replacement for the poster session that will not take part this year. If you would have submitted a poster, please consider submitting your idea as a lightning talk.
