BP-Rec. 2: Use an Ontology Naming Convention
Description
Semantic artefacts often have a human readable name associated with an acronym. The name provides information about the general topic covered by the semantic artefact while the acronym can be used as prefix to create URI-based GUPRI for concepts and terms (see OBO Foundry naming convention). The governance of these names is managed by organisations such as the OBO Foundry or the Industry Ontology Foundry. As of now, there is no global consensus on the naming of semantic artefact and the use of acronyms/prefix which leads to ambiguities and non-uniqueness (see Goldfarb and Le Franc, 2017) . The community of practice should consider addressing this issue by defining a common governance model for semantic artefacts.
Existing recommendations :
● OBO Foundry - Principle 3 [3]
● Industry Ontology Foundry [4]
