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?
