MIREOT
The Minimum Information to Reference an External Ontology Term
"While the Web Ontology Language (OWL) provides a mechanism to import ontologies, this mechanism is not always suitable. [...] In this paper we propose a set of guidelines for importing required terms from an external resource into a target ontology. We describe the guidelines, their implementation, present some examples of application, and outline future work and extensions."
I am very happy that the MIREOT paper (written with the usual suspects: Ally, Frank, James *, Daniel, Ryan and Alan) has been accepted for presentation at the International Conference on Biomedical Ontology (ICBO) conference later on this year.
See you all there :)
Update [August 12th 2009]: the paper and slides presented during the ICBO conference are available on the Nature Precedings ICBO collection. Special thanks to Alan for his help with the slides and to James who is to blame for the "OBI scared" slide :)
