Completed. Ongoing development based on community requirements and feedack: SeeISA-TAB-Nano Specification

Providing vocabulary and semantic support to the nanomedicine community.  Data generated from nanotechnology research are so diverse and large in volume that it is difficult to share and efficiently use them without informatics tools. In particular, ontologies that provide a unifying knowledge framework for annotating the data are required to facilitate the semantic integration, knowledge-based searching, unambiguous interpretation, mining and inferencing of the data using informatics methods. The caBIG® Nano WG supports the continuing development and application the of NanoParticle Ontology (NPO), which is developed within the framework of the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO), and implemented in the Ontology Web Language (OWL) using well-defined ontology design principles. The NPO was developed to represent knowledge underlying the preparation, chemical composition and characterization of nanomaterials involved in research.
