= Ontology Summit 2023

Helping scientific researchers make better use of ontologies: Tools, Methods and Best Practices

In memoriamPeter Yim1951-2022Our friend and Ontolog Forum founder Peter P. Yim has passed away. It is very sad news to all of us who worked with him, and a great loss to the community he founded and nurtured for many years. He will be missed. This Ontology Summit is dedicated to the memory of Peter.

Discussion

[12:11] RaviSharma: We start with condolences for Peter Yim who founded Ontolog Forum and ran it for several years. Welcome to the Summit 2023

[12:15] RaviSharma: we are excited to see 43 participants in the opening session and welcome everyone.

[12:24] Nico Matentzoglu: OBO Academy: https://oboacademy.github.io/obook

OBO Tools Workshop recording at ICBO 2022: youtube.com/watch?v=ayHsUkC4nZo

[12:24] UnCensoredNews.US I am new to ontologies. I am interested in climate change ontologies.

[12:26] RaviSharma: welcome, we did cover some of it in last year summit, please review some of the sessions on environmental disasters and recordings and slides.

[12:29] Christopher Lozinski: Are OBO ontologies just trees?

[12:30] Christopher Lozinski: What language is OBO written in? What database?

[12:30] Nico Matentzoglu: At OBO there are no climate change ontologies per se, but we have some very active people in COP27 and other such conferences. For example, the godfather of ENVO (https://github.com/EnvironmentOntology/envo), Pier Luigi Buttigieg, is very active on deep water related efforts related to climate.

[12:31] Nico Matentzoglu: Climate change is so complex - basically all ontologies are relevant to it I think

[12:31] Cogan Shimizu: You might also reach out to Ellie Young, who is focused on this space, from a community driven standpoint.

[12:32] Kai: The ESIP community as well Earth Science Information Partnership

[12:32] Alex Shkotin: soaphub is better as it will be on the session page later.

[12:33] Alex Shkotin: http://webconf.soaphub.org/conf/room/ontology_summit_2023

[12:36] Nico Matentzoglu: For those of you familiar with the OWL API, ROBOT can be seen in many ways as a CLI for OWL API. There is nothing really OBO-esque about it, it can be used for any OWL ontology parseable with the OWL API.

[12:37] Lynn Schriml: Check out ROBOT at http://robot.obolibrary.org

[12:37] RaviSharma: Q for James about Relationship Ontology, is there an agreed irreducible set of relationships or these have not been analyzed yet?

[12:38] RaviSharma: from other chat zoom

[12:38] Alex Shkotin: What about Jena?

[12:38] Nico Matentzoglu: Yes, in a very limited way as well. ODK includes riot, but in ROBOT we use Jena as a SPARQL endpoint

[12:39] Alex Shkotin: OK

[12:40] James Overton: Yes: ROBOT builds on both OWLAPI and Apache Jena.

[12:40] Susan Bello: OBO foundry home page https://obofoundry.org/

[12:40] Mark Underwood: Public Service Announcement: A former Ontolog participant James Schoening is chairing two IEEE Standards WGs "P3195 Requirements for a Mid-Level Ontology and Extensions" and P3195.1 Common Core Ontology (CCO) (Conforms to ISO/IEC-JTC1-21838-2 Basic Formal Ontology See https://sagroups.ieee.org/oswg/ This is open to the public; IEEE membership helpful but not required

[12:41] Nico Matentzoglu: Cogan, we can present DOS-DP which is the design pattern system we use in OBO if you are interested/there is time

[12:42] Nico Matentzoglu: Ahhhhh Haha I JUST organised a great Seminar on Wikidata with two excellent Wikidata experts… on the 21st March!

[12:42] James A. Overton: Replying to Christopher Lozinski: OBO projects use OWL (Web Ontology Language), and so they are more than just tree.

[12:43] Nico Matentzoglu: oops

[12:43] Cogan Shimizu: yes, dos-dp patterns have been on my radar for some time, but I haven't really had a chance to carve out bandwidth to discuss the interoperability of our paradigms. Perhaps this is a good kick -- we can possibly perhaps have a call this month?

[12:43] Nico Matentzoglu: I will follow up with you on slack

[12:43] Cogan Shimizu: possibly perhaps /facepalm

[12:44] James A. Overton: Replying to RaviSharma: RO may not be as formal as you are suggesting. The core RO relations owe a lot to older versions of BFO, but have not followed recent changes to relations in ISO BFO 2020.

[12:48] Mark Underwood: @Nico Can you post a link to the March Wikipdata meeting you alluded to? Thx

[12:48] Nico Matentzoglu: (To whoever is organising the Wikidata session: I am happy to try and redirect our Wikidata seminar under the wings of ontosummit, but I need to talk to the speakers first)

[12:48] ToddSchneider: Where/when does ontological analysis come in?

Competency question by themselves are not sufficient. They are only a subset of requirements for development of an ontology.

[12:54] James A. Overton: Nico: I'll reach out to you and Gary about the Wikidata session.

[10:01] James Overton: Thanks for coming to our kickoff session everyone! Looking forward to seeing you next week!

[13:02] Joanne Luciano: It's so wonderful to see everyone and honor Peter. I have to leave for another meeting. Happy New Year -and all the best in good health! Take care, bye for now.

[13:04] RaviSharma: Q for Corbin have the geolocation accuracies or relevance improved with these design patterns

[13:06] RaviSharma: Robert Rovetto commented among others education and ISO and Cogan's work.
