Abstract: We study the operadic and categorical formulations of (conformal) full field algebras. In particular, we show that a grading-restricted $RimesR$-graded full field algebra is equivalent to an algebra over a partial operad constructed from spheres with punctures and local coordinates. This result is generalized to conformal full field algebras over $V^{L}otimes{V}^R$, where V^L and V^R are two vertex operator algebras satisfying certain finiteness and reductivity conditions. We also study the geometry interpretation of conformal full field algebras over $V^{L}otimes{V}^R$ equipped with a nondegenerate invariant bilinear form. By assuming slightly stronger conditions on V^L and V^R, we show that a conformal full field algebra over $V^{L}otimes{V}^R$ equipped with a nondegenerate invariant bilinear form exactly corresponds to a commutative Frobenius algebra with a trivial twist in the category of $V^{L}otimes{V}^R$-modules. The so-called diagonal constructions of conformal full field algebras are given in tensor-categorical language.
