Motivation

The OBO Environment Ontology has classes for a wide variety of environmental entities such as biomes, habitats, geographic features, in addition to environmental processes. Adding this property would allow the linking of a wide range of data from metagenomic samples to human health data. We also have a knowledge base of instances of ENVO classes (the GAZ gazetteer), and would eventually like to upload these as instance-of associations between existing wikidata entities (e.g. Mariana Trench (Q510)) and environment types (e.g. ocean trench

Discussion

Comment: An alternative formatter URL would be http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_$1 (for the example, [1]). The ebi.ac.uk site ahs links to Wikipedia, which should aid matching. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 18:52, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed - the obolibrary PURL should be the primary one (we may in fact have the envo library purl direct to the EBI OLS in any case). And the ontology itself contains many of the xrefs to Wikipedia, some of these may be stale, once approved I intend to look at the pipeline for importing the disease ontology in to wikidata and see if it can be used here Cmungall (talk) 23:29, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I Support as "Environment Ontology ID". ChristianKl (talk) 18:56, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Good with me. For future reference, is there a guide to best practice here? I note that CHEBI is "CHEBI ID" rather than "Chemical Ontology ID", I guess because "CHEBI" is a more recognizable brand name.

The full name for CHEBI is "Chemical Entities of Biological Interest". That's longer and ChEBI itself is a mroe recognizable brand name. In general it's good if the name of a property gives an impression to the reader what the property is about. ChristianKl (talk) 10:22, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support Will be a very valuable resource in Wikidata ! Putmantime (talk) 16:32, 5 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support. This looks like a high-quality ontology that will be valuable to include in Wikidata. YULdigitalpreservation (talk) 11:51, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
