New Ontology Acceptance: BMONT

[Deepak Unni]

Dear Alpha,

Thank you again for your ontology submission to the OBO Foundry. We are happy to inform you that your ontology (BMONT) has been accepted following discussion in the OBO Operations Committee meeting, 2025-04-01.

Before we can add it to the OBO ontology registry you need to complete the following steps.

Create a metadata record for your ontology to be included in the registry:

• Create a new file in https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/tree/master/ontology, called bmont.md (there is an “Add file” button in the top right).
• Obtain the already curated metadata that relates to your ontology from https://github.com/OBOFoundry/obo-nor.github.io/blob/master/dashboard-config.yml (you’ll need to scroll down to locate yours; it will have your prefix in the “ - id:” field.)
• Create a pull request to add the metadata record. This pull request should include a link to this issue (the New Ontology Request issue). Here is an example record for the PATO ontology: https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/blob/master/ontology/pato.md?plain=1

Your metadata will be reviewed and merged by a member of the OBO Foundry Operations Committee. Permissible content for fields is being documented here.

Create a PURL registry entry for your ontology:

• Go to https://github.com/OBOFoundry/purl.obolibrary.org/tree/master/config, click “Add file” and add a file named bmont.yml.
• Add the desired configuration.
• Make a pull request with a link to this issue. See here for an example of a PURL yml file: https://github.com/OBOFoundry/purl.obolibrary.org/blob/master/config/pato.yml

Kind regards,

Deepak, on behalf of the OBO Operations Committee
