Ontology Development and Maintenance

• Check class names
• Agile ontology engineering
• Visualization

11
BioMixer

• Visualization

12
General

• Look outward not inward
• Certificate of ontology in works

Connections
14
Future work

• ACO requests, annexes?
• Herd, fledgling, yearling birds
• Non human primate, non human organism
• Adult squirrel, adult mouse
• ACO on Bioportal?
• Lives in relation
• Vet involvement
• What we do is paper-worthy

15
Summary

• Good experience
• ICBO and OBO are relevant, important, and
  evolving
• Seem open to animal work
• Animal work already important!
