The Joint Ontology Workshops (JOWO) is the flagship venue of the International Association for Ontology and its Applications (IAOA), bringing together workshops that connect the communities of formal and applied ontology with intersecting communities in other fields of knowledge. Since its conception in 2015, JOWO has been held annually, regularly co-locating with the International Conference on Formal Ontology in Information Systems (FOIS). To celebrate its 10th edition, a special edition of the Applied Ontology journal has been organized, welcoming extended versions of papers originally published at JOWO workshops, and with the aim of showcasing the evolutions of high-quality works that originated in this venue. This editorial serves as the preface to the first volume of this two-volume special issue.
