Introducing the 3rd Playing with Meanings workshop (PwM3)

which will take place suring the 25th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (EKAW 2026), September 29th - October 1st, 2026, at University of Torino, Italy.

The Playing with Meanings 3rd edition (PwM3) continues to develop ontology-driven knowledge co-production methodologies, with new #ontologygames and group modelling activities that address three distinct topics:

  1. Knowledge Engineering and Justice Assessment
  2. Bridging Intangible Cultural Heritage and Social-Ecological Systems
  3. Modelling Discourses on Urban Systems and Place-making
Together we will collaboratively generate and examine scenarios, practice group modelling with ontologies, and discuss pluralism and justice, on- tological analysis and shared understandings. A variety of card games, role-play exercises, group modelling activities will be enacted; each inte- grates, teaches, and produces through the use of dedicated domain on- tologies as well as the foundational ontologies UFO, BFO and DOLCE.
PwM3 at EKAW2026 will be a full-day workshop, with three dedicated sessions, practicing participatory ontology engineering together.
