This has led to the emergence of a field called Social XAI, which is concerned with understanding how explanations are actively shaped in the interaction between a human user and an AI system. Recognizing this turn in XAI toward making XAI systems more “social” by providing explanations that focus on human information needs and incorporating insights from human–human explanatory interactions, in this paper we provide a formal foundation for Social XAI. We do so by proposing novel ontological accounts of the key terms used in Social XAI based on Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). Specifically, we provide novel ontological accounts for explanandum, explanans, understanding, explanation, explainer, explainee, and context. In doing so, we discuss multifaceted entities in Social XAI (having both continuant and occurrent facets; e.g., explanation) and the relationship between understanding and explanation. Additionally, we propose solutions to seemingly paradoxical views on some terms (e.g., social constructivist vs. individual constructivist perspective on explanandum).","lang":"eng"}]},{"quality_controlled":"1","year":"2025","citation":{"ama":"Booshehri M, Buschmeier H, Cimiano P.
