The Mid Level Data Collection Ontology (DCO) - Generic Data Collection using a Mid Level Ontology

Joel Cummings, Deborah Stacey

2017

Abstract

Capturing data through an ontology is a common goal where instances exist as datums mapping to universal terms defined in an ontology. Currently these ontologies lack a shared conceptualization for data collection terms. We propose a mid level Data Collection Ontology (DCO) that defines data collection terms in a domain agnostic way enabling extension for domain ontologies to build off of. Such an ontology should provide reasoning support and enable automated error detection required by all data collection ontologies. By using the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) as its base it enables existing OBO foundry ontologies to extend the proposed ontology in their design allowing existing domain level ontologies an entry point.
