The aim of the workshop is to create eight “golden definitions” of some notions necessary to build a #urbanonto model. The HOUSe project is designed to be useful within an international milieu, therefore it is essential to include various perspectives in the whole process of elaborating an ontology of urban space. Building a simple yet complete definition is essential in this process. We want to invite our guests to join us in this experiment.
