Organised under the umbrella of the ESF Exploratory Workshops Scheme
Keywords
border; mobility; formal ontologies
Summary
The objective of the workshop is to contribute to a better understanding of bordering processes in a long-term perspective and at different institutional and geographical scales, through the exploration of a trans-disciplinary modelling approach and the proposal of a common ontology.
The methodology of the workshop consists in combining:
a) specific case studies, from social sciences, chosen with the aim of covering a broad variety of borders types;
b) tools to elaborate an ontology of borders, relying both on classical conceptual analysis (philosophy) and semantic modelling (knowledge engineering & representation).
The aim of the workshop is to pave the way for further transdisciplinary work.
