Abstract

Basic Formal Ontology 2.0 will be released in draft form for public comment in advance of the tutorial.

Rationale

BFO is currently being used by over 100 ontology-based research projects in biomedical informatics and increasingly in other fields. The new version fills a number of critical gaps in BFO 1.0 and provides enhanced support for logical reasoning. The tutorial will serve both to introduce new users to BFO and also to inform existing users of the changes made in version 2.0.


Audience and format

The tutorial will be targeted to a general audience; it will serve to introduce BFO to new users, but also provide technical details of the current version of BFO that will be presented in a form that will be of interest to advanced users. Attendees will acquire basic knowledge of BFO and of its use as top-level ontology in multiple ontology development projects in a variety of fields. They will learn about the most recent developments in the ontology and acquire basic knowledge of the new formalizations of BFO in first-order logic and in OWL.
