Back to Shared Semantics

Back to start

This week we went through a number of different scenarios in which we may want to cross reference terms in FIBO to those in normative external standards.

Will have “Treatments” for each of a number of scenarios: * Standard ontologies where We want to use only a small subset of the terms We want to use the whole thing We want to use one aspect of the ontology (e.g. classes but not axioms) * Standard ontologies which are: Well modeled in OWL Not well modeled but presented in OWL Not in OWL but still ontologies ** Standards which are not formal ontologies

Other considerations include * Degree of adoption or uptake of the standard * How authoritative it is for its subject matter

The details for this are captured in a new working Document.
