Feb. 1, 2016, 567 Capen Hall, Buffalo Meeting on various ontology topics, including:
- Non-Coding RNA Ontology (Alan Ruttenberg)
- Ontology for Manufacturing (Francesco Furini)
- We propose an ontology focused on the representation of composite materials in general and what are called 'Functionally Graded Materials' (FGM) in particular. The scope of the ontology is to provide information about the components of such materials, the manufacturing processes involved in creating such materials, and different sorts of applications in dentistry and other fields. The ontology is developed using Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and parts of of Ontology for Biomedical Investigation (OBI).
- Plant Life Cycle Ontology (Barry Smith)
