Details
| Acronym | BFO |
|---|---|
| Visibility | Public |
| Description | BFO grows out of a philosophical orientation which overlaps with that of DOLCE and SUMO. Unlike these, however, it is narrowly focused on the task of providing a genuine upper ontology which can be used in support of domain ontologies developed for scientific research, as for example in biomedicine within the framework of the OBO Foundry. Thus BFO does not contain physical, chemical, biological or other terms which would properly fall within the special sciences domains. BFO is the upper level ontology upon which OBO Foundry ontologies are built. |

| notes | The BSD license on the BFO project site refers to code used to build BFO., This BFO 2.0 version represents a major update to BFO and is not strictly backwards compatible with BFO 1.1. The previous OWL version of BFO, version 1.1.1 will remain available at http://ifomis.org/bfo/1.1 and will no longer be updated. The BFO 2.0 OWL is a classes-only specification. The incorporation of core relations has been held over for a later version., Please see the project site https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO, the bfo2 owl discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/bfo-owl-devel, the bfo2 discussion group http://groups.google.com/group/bfo-devel, the tracking google doc http://goo.gl/IlrEE, and the current version of the bfo2 reference http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/bfo/dev/bfo2-reference.docx. This ontology is generated from a specification at https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO/tree/master/src/ontology/owl-group/specification/ and with the code that generates the OWL version in https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO/tree/master/src/tools/. A very early version of BFO version 2 in CLIF is at http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/bfo/dev/bfo.clif. |

This Agrisemantics (previously called VEST-AgroPortal) Map of Data Standards provides a global map of existing vocabularies for the exchange of data in the field of food and agriculture. The directory is the result of the merging of records from two different sources: the VEST Registry (a registry of vocabularies of all types and all formats) and the AgroPortal (a repository of ontologies).

AgroLD is a RDF knowledge base that consists of data integrated from a variety of plant resources and ontologies. The aim of the Agronomic Linked Data (AgroLD) project is to provide a portal for bioinformatics and domain experts to exploit the homogenized data models towards efficiently generating research hypotheses.
