Ontology Outreach Advisory

Experienced ontologists are invited and encouraged to contribute to this recommendation, by submitting guidelines based on their best practice and research findings. A guideline is not necessarily a rigid assessment criterion or a theory, but can also be a methodological recommendation that guides ontology builders to achieve better quality, reusability and/or adoption.

This is a living place where successful use cases are collected, discussed, and promoted to industry. Research Labs are invited to submit eHealth use cases. industrial parties are encouraged to place comments and interact with uses cases authors.

Healthcare and Life Sciences is one of the first domains in which the need for ontologies to advance science on the one hand, and to make better applications on the other hand, has been understood. The OOA-HLS chapter aims to develop, recommend and promote quality guidelines for ontology content and tools. The current focus topics of the OOA-HLS chapter includes:

The goal of this set of pages is to identify and recommend a set of guidelines that contribute directly to quality, or indirectly by pursuing ontology reusability and adoption.
