Hi Jie,
I presume you are referring to why OBI consortium isn't showing up under
'Groups' instead of "CTSA". I was very surprised on that too.
I will email Trish now.
For the records, please find enclose the information OBI vetted and sent
to the OBO Foundry when filing a request for review:
----------------------------
Dear OBO foundry,
I am submitting the following request for review on the behalf of OBI
-ontology name: Ontology for Biomedical Investigation
-contact person name: OBI developers ; Bjoern Peters
-contact person email:
obi-...@lists.sourceforge.net;
bpe...@liai.org
-scope of ontology:
(taken from
http://obi-ontology.org/page/Main_Page "What is it?:
"The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) project is developing
an integrated ontology for the description of biological and clinical
investigations. This includes a set of 'universal' terms, that are
applicable across various biological and technological domains, and
domain-specific terms relevant only to a given domain. This ontology
will support the consistent annotation of biomedical investigations,
regardless of the particular field of study. The ontology will represent
the design of an investigation, the protocols and instrumentation used,
the material used, the data generated and the type analysis performed on
it. Currently OBI is being built under the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO).
Develop an Ontology for Biomedical Investigations in collaboration with
groups representing different biological and technological domains
involved in Biomedical Investigations
Make OBI compatible with other bio-ontologies
Develop OBI using an open source approach
Create a valuable resource for the biomedical communities to provide a
source of terms for consistent annotation of investigations"
