   The role of formal ontology in Conceptual Modeling (CM) and Information
Systems Engineering (ISE) is increasingly being recognized as fundamental by
both the research and practitioner communities. The importance of formal
ontology to these interrelated areas has been the theme of two workshops series
held over the past years, namely the Workshop on Ontologies and Conceptual
Modeling (Onto.Com) and the Workshop on Ontology-Driven Information
Systems Engineering (ODISE). Given the strong relationship between the two
fields as well as the synergies between the workshops, Onto.Com and ODISE
have merged at FOIS 2014.
   Formal ontology, whose theoretical underpinnings are grounded in disciplines
such as Philosophy, Cognitive Sciences and Linguistics, has led to the
development of theoretical foundations for conceptual modeling. In particular, a
number of ontological theories such as BORO, BWW, DOLCE, GFO and UFO
have been successfully applied to the evaluation of conceptual modeling
languages, frameworks and standards (e.g., UML, ORM, ER, REA, TROPOS,
ARIS, BPMN, RM-ODP, Archimate, OWL and ISO 15926), and to the
development of information systems engineering tools (e.g., methodological
guidelines, modeling profiles, design patterns) that contribute to the theory and
practice of conceptual modeling and ISE.
   Additionally, there has been an increasing interest in the use of empirical
studies to assess the impact of the application of these theoretical foundations to
the design of conceptual modeling grammars and tools and their application in the
development, integration and evolution of information systems.
   The objective of the 1st Joint Onto.Com/ODISE Workshop is to provide an
international forum for exchanging ideas on the latest developments in the
emerging area of Ontology-Driven Conceptual Modeling and Information Systems
Engineering and to address specific questions of relevance to the body of
knowledge of this emerging discipline.
   The workshop received 14 submissions, from which the Program Committee
selected 8 high quality papers. The workshop was organized into one keynote talk
and four sessions. The keynote talk, titled ‘An Algebra of Lightweight
Ontologies’, was given by Prof. Marco A. Casanova from the Pontifical Catholic
University of Rio de Janeiro. Specific modeling issues were discussed in the four
sessions. These included relations, roles, reuse and measurement.
   We would like to express our gratitude to the Program Committee members for
their qualified work in reviewing papers, the authors for considering
Onto.Com/ODISE as a forum to publish their research, and the FOIS 2014
organizers for all their support.
