| MOUSE: Modular Ontology for Unified Statistical EcologyI currently am developing, as a personal project, an ontology for classifying statistical results of ecological studies. Ontologies are developed in the computing and biomedial domains, but the subject in still young in the ecology field. My project aims to provide a toolkit, for ecologists, for classifying their results (field and lab data, statistical analyses). This new ontology will be tailored to the needs of the field of ecology and will rely heavily on existing ontologies, some developed for other domains. https://github.com/noetsa/MousesGoals
PropertiesThis new ontology should have these desirable properties (non-exhaustive list):
Imported ontologiesSTATO (currently in full) https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/STATOMAMO (excluding domain specific classes) https://sourceforge.net/projects/mamo-ontology/ OBOE (currently in full) https://github.com/NCEAS/oboe/ Considered ontologies for future import, compliance or interactionBFO https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFONCBITaxon http://www.obofoundry.org/ontology/ncbitaxon.html Other ontologies to consider: Ontologies about GIS, containing concepts such as point, coordinates, area, area shape, area size, fragmentation, width, neighboring, distance, etc. Ontologies of interest, not imported at the momentENVO https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/ENVOBCO https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/BCO PCO https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/PCO Agronomy Ontology https://github.com/AgriculturalSemantics/agro ecocore https://github.com/EcologicalSemantics/ecocore SWEET https://github.com/ESIPFed/sweet Other ontologiesOBCS https://github.com/obcs/obcsEDAM http://edamontology.org/page GEOSPECIES https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/GEOSPECIES PlanVersion 0.1:-Organize imported concepts of STATO, MAMO and OBOE ontologies within the new ontology, while considering compatibility with BFO ontology. -Work out licencing and citation mechanisms for both imported and new ontology -Publish version 0.1 of MOUSE ontology on GitHub Version 0.2: -Import needed concepts of ENVO, BCO, PCO, Agronomy Ontology, ecocore, SWEET ontologies, and GIS concepts ontology. Version 0.3: -Import/interface with NCBITaxon ontology, or the NCBI Taxon database. Version 0.4: -Create missing concepts for our domain. Test basic queries. Version 0.5: -Work on the relationships between statistical results. If you have insights on the subject, know of relevant or similar ontologies, work on a similar project, or wish to share ideas, please contact me :) |
