This page sets out the criteria for reuse and identifies a number of candidates that may be considered for reuse for the IDMP MVP.

Criteria for Reuse

In order to consider a given ontology for reuse in an ontology, such as an IDMP ontology, that is intended for standardization the following criteria must be met:

...

These criteria do not provide any constraints on evaluating whether or not the content of an ontology is sufficiently fit for purpose to warrant reuse.  They simply state the absolute minimum criteria that must be met before consideration with respect to the content is appropriate.

Chemistry and Biology Ontologies

  • well known
  • broadly reused
  • comprehensive

Just follow pattern(s):

  1. subclass hierarchy under CHEBI_24431 ("chemical entity")
THIS IS JUST A TEST/EXAMPLE RECOMMENDATION








Infrastructure and Metadata Ontologies

DCAT - Data Catalog Vocabulary

The main item is DCAT - it's the W3C ontology for data catalogues, and we are close to a release of version 3.

This is a key component of several pieces of work on the development of FAIR data, including all of the EU Member States' efforts in open data,  industrial data spaces, and also catalogues of services etc.  It is also core to the DDI-CDI work that CODATA and the EOSC are involved in as part of CODATA's decadal programme of work.  Basically, it goes a long way to provide the "F".

Do not reuse
Just follow pattern(s)
Partial reuseE.g., we use a single resource without importing the whole ontology
