We seem to have criteria, but we do not have them written down? Some ideas I have heard:
Ontology must be maintained/active?
Ontology must be "popular," "cited," "not obscure"?
Must have "importance" to VIVO, that is, must deal with a domain that overlaps VIVO significantly. Marginal overlaps are "add on" ontologies (such as clinical trials).
Must have "many" properties and classes to be included with VIVO. Ontologies that have one or two entities or properties are not worth the effort to have a namespace, maintain contact withe the maintainers, etc.
Perhaps we should have a wiki page here about how we determine ontologies for use in VIVO and VIVO-ISF?
