Ontology Commons EcoSystem Toolkit

Bridge Concept Template is a tool to support mapping and alignment of ontologies.More in details, the bridge concept templates provide a way to define concepts that can bridge middle-level and domain ontologies to existing top-level ontologies. Bridge concept templates are lean forms to enable domain experts with minimal or no knowledge engineering background to define concepts using existing knowledge domain resources (e.g., existing standards, documentation).

The template guides the domain experts with targeted questions to provide any necessary information about the new concepts and reach consensus in a collaborative manner to enable alignment between ontologies. The newly introduced concept is linked to both upward (multiple upper level TLOs or MLOs) and downward (multiple DLOs) to harmonize intra and cross domain ontologies in the interoperable ontology stack.
Bridge concept template and associated guidelines ensure the interoperability among semantically annotated data by continuously incorporating the required existing semantic models into the harmonized ontology stack of OCES.

IndustryPortal

IndustryPortal it's a common ontology portal for industry that has been established to serve the community with a long-term permanent repository for FAIR semantic artifacts.

The main benefit is that IndustryPortal provides a permanent storage for all relevant ontology artifacts analyzed and produced as part of OntoCommons’ activities, e.g., mappings among existing ontologies and new developments.

OCEANS

The platform OCEANS - OntoCommons Collaborative Editing and Authoring kNowledge baSe/graphS- it's a Browser/Editor enables recording of the knowledge generated in the project in a machine-readable fashion and visualization of the knowledge through knowledge graphs.

The main benefit provided is the visual, collaborative navigation of the OCES Knowledge Graph created in OntoCommons. The OCES Knowledge Graph contains metadata about the outcomes of the OntoCommons project, particularly the specific components of the OCES such as ontologies, tools, and methodologies. Its main goal is to provide access in both machine-readable (e.g., via querying) and human-readable (e.g., via visualizations) form to the outcomes of the OntoCommons project.

OntoCommons Tool Chain

This web application orchestrates and integrates different tools for ontology development activities like encoding, evaluation and documentation among others.
