  • 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".
