Ontology Summit 2025 Track 1

Title: Conceptualizing Domains
Abstract: The summit so far has presented some very important topics for our community. This talk will summarize and expand on some of what has transpired in the sessions as well as the forum discussions. The issues that I will present include definitions of theory, observer effects, unreasonable effectiveness, semantics of voids and the Cantor paradise. Many of these issues represent new challenges and opportunities for ontologies. I will end with an introduction to the upcoming tracks.
