- Ontologies and the Semantic Web     
- Interoperability in ontologies

- Description logics for ontologies  
- Reasoning with ontologies 
- Ontology harvesting on the web      
- Ontology of agents and actions
- Ontology visualisation  
- Ontology engineering and management
- Ontology-based information extraction  and retrieval
- Ontology merging, alignment and integration
- Web ontology languages
- Formal concept analysis and ontologies 
- Ontologies for e-research
- Linking open data
- Significant ontology applications
