Barry Smith,Michael Ashburner,Cornelius Rosse,Jonathan Bard,William J. Bug,Werner Ceusters,Louis J. Goldberg,Karen Eilbeck,Amelia Ireland,Christopher J. Mungall,Neocles B. Leontis,Philippe Rocca-Serra,Alan Ruttenberg,Susanna-Assunta Sansone,Richard H. Scheuermann,Nigam H. Shah,Patricia L. Whetzel,Suzanna E. Lewis +17 more
TL;DR: This work describes the OBO Foundry initiative and provides guidelines for those who might wish to become involved and describes an expanding family of ontologies designed to be interoperable and logically well formed and to incorporate accurate representations of biological reality.

Relations in biomedical ontologies
Barry Smith,Barry Smith,Werner Ceusters,Bert R. E. Klagges,Jacob Köhler,Anand Kumar,Jane Lomax,Christopher J. Mungall,Fabian Neuhaus,Alan L. Rector,Cornelius Rosse +10 more
TL;DR: A methodology for providing consistent and unambiguous formal definitions of the relational expressions used in biomedical ontologies in a way designed to assist developers and users in avoiding errors in coding and annotation is advanced.
Ontological realism: A methodology for coordinated evolution of scientific ontologies
Barry Smith,Werner Ceusters +1 more
TL;DR: A methodology for ontology development that is now being used by multiple groups of researchers in different life science domains is tested and refined, and some of its principles are being applied, especially within the framework of the OBO (Open Biomedical Ontologies) Foundry initiative.
Toward an Ontological Treatment of Disease and Diagnosis

- 01 Mar 2009
TL;DR: This work defends a view of disease as involving in every case some physical basis within the organism that bears a disposition toward the execution of pathological processes and presents a list of terms and definitions designed to provide a consistent starting point for the representation of both disease and diagnosis in information systems in the future.
