OBO Foundry Editorial WG

Introduction

This page describes members and activities of the OBO Foundry Editorial Working Group.

Details

The primary task of the OBO Foundry Editorial working group is to review candidate OBO Foundry ontologies. The group is also tasked with activities that enable that process, such as clarifying OBO Foundry principles and policies, documenting the review pipeline, and building tools for automated validation.

Scope

The OBO Foundry Editorial WG will:

  • create guidelines for ontology review process (how we do reviews, operationally)
  • create policies for ontology review criteria (what aspects of an ontology and which ontologies we should review)
  • manage the ontology review process

Current activities are focused on creating guidelines for reviews. Once those guidelines are in place, the working group will shift its focus to carrying out the review process, with an aim of reducing the backlog of ontologies awaiting review.
