CONCEPTUAL STRUCTURES LEVERAGING SEMANTIC TECHN...

The nature of conceptual thinking constitutes a central topic in a variety of scienti?c
disciplines. Since 1993  the International Conference on Conceptual Structures (ICCS) has
served as a platform that brings together researchersand practioners in information and
computer sciences as well as social science to explore novel ways of representing and analyzing
conceptual knowledge. Ori- nally centered around research on knowledge representation and
reasoning with conceptual graphs  over the years ICCS has broadened its scope to include in-
vations from a wider range of theories and related practices  among them other forms of
graph-based formalisms like RDF or existential graphs  formal concept analysis  Semantic Web
technologies  ontologies  concept mapping and more. Today  ICCS draws inspiration from areas as
diverse as arti?cial intelligence  knowledge representation and reasoning  applied mathematics
and lattice t- ory  computational linguistics  conceptual modeling and design  diagrammatic
reasoning and logic  intelligent systems and knowledge management. In addition to vivid
conferences  the vibrancy of the ?eld is documented by two recently published books (Hitzler 
Scha ¿rfe (Eds): Conceptual Structures in Practice and Chein  Mugnier: Graph-based Knowledge
Representation: C- putational Foundations of Conceptual Graphs) as well as by an ISO standard
(Common Logic  ISO  IEC 24707) which orginated in this community.
