About the Workshop
This focused 90-minute workshop launches a 12-month international programme to co-produce a practical Metaverse Ontology v1.0 using AI and expert validation.
The goal: to create a shared, standardised vocabulary for the metaverse that can be adopted by industry, policymakers and standards bodies to reduce ambiguity, support interoperability, and accelerate adoption. This includes multilingual options.
Why Attend?
By joining, you will:
- Influence the priority domains of the ontology (e.g. avatars & identity, interoperability, spatial computing).
- Identify preferred languages in addition to English
- Critique and refine AI-generated candidate terms produced by Visioning Lab’s Ontology Maker process.
- Contribute to an international effort to align metaverse language with real-world applications.
- Become a member of the 12-month programme with early access to draft outputs and ongoing involvement.
