BFO-ECCB

• 9:00 Introduction and Principles

Why Large-Scale Data-Driven Science Needs Ontologies

The need for a coordination strategy 1. Upper Level Coordination

BFO as domain-neutral upper-level ontology

BFO as starting point for downward populationDomain-specific ontologies

A common set of relations

Annotation of scientific data

Part storehouse of lessons learned, part QWERTY keyboard

Basis for common training

Works best under the hood

The need for a coordination strategy 2. Convergence on domain reference ontologies

Overview of BFO

Instances and universals

Continuants and occurrents

Dependent entities and independent entities

PATO qualities

Different kinds of relations

Symmetry, asymmetry and inverses

The all-some rule

What to do with probabilistic statements?

Realizables

Roles

Dispositions and the treatment of modality

Functions

Generically and specifically dependent continuants, concretizations, and relations of dependence

Information entities

Current state of BFO

How to migrate from BFO 1.0 to BFO 2.0

New Features of BFO 2.0

Material and immaterial entities

Three subtypes of material entity: objects, object aggregates, and fiat object parts

Continuant fiat boundaries

Coordinate systems and frames of reference

Object aggregates and the member_of relation, with an application to groups and organizations

Cognitive selection in the realm of continuants

Granularity on the side of continuants

Process Profiles, Rates, and Process Measurement Data

Full and partial processses

Lives and other histories

A top is spinning and simultaneously warming up

Process profiles as targets of process measurements

The Wiggers diagram

Cognitive selection

Quality process profiles

What did your temperature do since last night, Jim?

Relation to object aggregates

Other quantitative process profiles

Process profiles and time-series graphs

Process profiles and pathway diagrams

Process profiles and environmental niches
