Onto-what? Everything you never wanted to know about ontologies or were too embarrassed to ask

The use of ontologies is a cornerstone of data interoperability and reusability, representing an essential precursor to cross-domain data integration, modelling, knowledge discovery and even the exploitation of new AI-related technologies. Despite all this, ontologies are still sadly underused in existing data management practices for several reasons, including their perceived complexity, insufficient knowledge of available tooling solutions and lack of easily accessible best practice guidance. In this session, we will demystify the world of ontologies by clearing up some common misconceptions and provide you with an overview of existing tools and resources for using ontologies more effectively in your work.
