[Obo-discuss] Request namespace for OBCS: Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics

[He, Y. <yon...@me...>]

Dear OBO-discuss:

Here we would like to request the addition to an Ontology of Biological and Clinical Statistics (OBCS) as an OBO Foundry ontology. OBCS is an ontology focusing on biological and clinical statistics aligned with BFO/OBI-aligned ontology.

OBCS imports all possible biostatistics terms in OBI; furthermore, OBCS includes many additional biostatistics terms, some of which were proposed and discussed in the OBI face-to-face workshop in Ann Arbor in 2012.

OBCS is primarily targeted for statistical term representation in the fields in biological, biomedical, and clinical domains. Our development use cases include: vaccine research statistics study, nursing clinical statistical data collection and analysis.

The basic information about OBCS is here:
