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: {{:20110929_ways_of_referencing_other_standards.doc|Ways of Referencing Other Standards}}
