Re: [Obo-discuss] prefix request for the Epidemiology Ontology

[Melanie C. <mco...@gm...>]

Hi Catia,

Thanks for your request. Could you submit a tracker item at http://code.google.com/p/obo-foundry-operations-committee/issues/entry?template=Prefix/Domain%20creation? This will help me follow up and make sure things move forward.

Also please check the page at http://code.google.com/p/obo-foundry-operations-committee/wiki/Policy_for_OBO_namespace_and_associated_PURL_requests for other information such as the PURL guide if you decide to request the PURL support (which I think you wanted for your URIs)

Cheers,
Melanie

It is being developed under the EU-funded EPIWORK project, a multidisciplinary research effort which aims at increasing the amount of epidemiological data available, improving disease surveillance systems, and promoting the collaboration among epidemiological researchers. The EO is integrated into NERO (Network of Epidemiology Related Ontologies), a collection of existing ontologies that supports the semantic annotation of epidemiology resources contained in the Epidemic Marketplace (EM), a platform for sharing resources and knowledge within the Epidemiology community. NERO currently includes thirteen external ontologies (the majority are OBO or OBO candidate ontologies) which already provide a high coverage of most epidemiology related areas. As such, the EPO focuses on neglected/highly specific areas of epidemiology and will articulate with other OBO ontologies as needed.
