[bro-discuss] Re: BRO term

Hi Jennifer, 

Thanks so much for your feedback! Did you consider the term Dissemination Vehicle (http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/BRO/Dissemination_Vehicle)? It is defined as a "Resource that provides access to Community and User Interaction Systems, educational resources and web-services".  An alternative might be to bring back the term Data Distribution defined as "A resource that provides data or allows users to access and utilize data". What are your thoughts about these terms?  

Thanks,

Trish

Hi, Trish,

 

Since you are listed as one of the contact people for the BRO, I thought I email you with a suggestion/request to consider.  I was putting together the BioSiteMap for RGD and was looking in the BRO for a term to describe what we do.  I came up with several but one that I would have liked to use but that wasn't there would have been something like "Data dissemination".  Because that's really a big part of what we do—importing, consolidating, reporting on and presenting data.  Perhaps that wouldn't be exactly the term you would want to use, but I was hoping you might think about including something along those lines.

 

Thanks,

 

Jennifer
