VIVO Core Ontology
The VIVO Ontology is used to represent the expertise of people engaged in the creation, transmission, and preservation of knowledge and creative works. The VIVO ontology (hereafter referred to as “the ontology”) represents expertise by describing the activities and accomplishments of people in terms of their relationships to particular artifacts of the work, resources they use, institutions that employ them, and other indicators. The ontology is independent of knowledge or creative domain. The ontology supports the identification, evaluation, and impact assessment of individual people and groups of people, as well as identification and reuse of the works of the people.

7/6/2009 Alan Ruttenberg. Following discussion with Jonathan Rees, and introduction of "mentions" relation. Weaken the is_about relationship to be primitive. We will try to build it back up by elaborating the various subproperties that are more precisely defined. Some currently missing phenomena that should be considered "about" are predications - "The only person who knows the answer is sitting beside me" , Allegory, Satire, and other literary forms that can be topical without explicitly mentioning the topic.

8/6/2009 Alan Ruttenberg: The strategy is to be rather specific with this relationship. There are other kinds of measurements that are not of qualities, such as those that measure time. We will add these as separate properties for the moment and see about generalizing later
Alan Ruttenberg
From the second IAO workshop [Alan Ruttenberg 8/6/2009: not completely current, though bringing in comparison is probably important] This one is the one we are struggling with at the moment. The issue is what a measurement measures. On the one hand saying that it measures the quality would include it "measuring" the bearer = referring to the bearer in the measurement. However this makes comparisons of two different things not possible. On the other hand not having it inhere in the bearer, on the face of it, breaks the audit trail. Werner suggests a solution based on "Magnitudes" a proposal for which we are awaiting details. -- From the second IAO workshop, various comments, [commented on by Alan Ruttenberg 8/6/2009] unit of measure is a quality, e.g. the length of a ruler. [We decided to hedge on what units of measure are, instead talking about measurement unit labels, which are the information content entities that are about whatever measurement units are. For IAO we need that information entity in any case. See the term measurement unit label] [Some struggling with the various subflavors of is_about. We subsequently removed the relation represents, and describes until and only when we have a better theory] a represents b means either a denotes b or a describes describe: a describes b means a is about b and a allows an inference of at least one quality of b We have had a long discussion about denotes versus describes.
From the second IAO workshop: An attempt at tieing the quality to the measurement datum more carefully. a is a magnitude means a is a determinate quality particular inhering in some bearer b existing at a time t that can be represented/denoted by an information content entity e that has parts denoting a unit of measure, a number, and b. The unit of measure is an instance of the determinable quality.
From the second meeting on IAO: An attempt at defining assay using Barry's "reliability" wording assay: process and has_input some material entity and has_output some information content entity and which is such that instances of this process type reliably generate outputs that describes the input.
This one is the one we are struggling with at the moment. The issue is what a measurement measures. On the one hand saying that it measures the quality would include it "measuring" the bearer = referring to the bearer in the measurement. However this makes comparisons of two different things not possible. On the other hand not having it inhere in the bearer, on the face of it, breaks the audit trail. Werner suggests a solution based on "Magnitudes" a proposal for which we are awaiting details.

the relation of the cells in the finger of the skin to the finger, in which an indeterminate number of grains are parts of the whole by virtue of being grains in a collective that is part of the whole, and in which removing one granular part does not nec- essarily damage or diminish the whole. Ontological Whether there is a fixed, or nearly fixed number of parts - e.g. fingers of the hand, chambers of the heart, or wheels of a car - such that there can be a notion of a single one being missing, or whether, by contrast, the number of parts is indeterminate - e.g., cells in the skin of the hand, red cells in blood, or rubber molecules in the tread of the tire of the wheel of the car.

This clarifies that only specifically dependent continuants inhere in (specifically) one independent continuant over all time.

GDP
GDP at purchaser's prices is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the economy plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or for depletion and degradation of natural resources. Data are in current U.S. dollars. Dollar figures for GDP are converted from domestic currencies using single year official exchange rates. For a few countries where the official exchange rate does not reflect the rate effectively applied to actual foreign exchange transactions, an alternative conversion factor is used.

agricultural area
Agricultural area, this category is the sum of areas under a) arable land - land under temporary agricultural crops (multiple-cropped areas are counted only once), temporary meadows for mowing or pasture, land under market and kitchen gardens and land temporarily fallow (less than five years). The abandoned land resulting from shifting cultivation is not included in this category. Data for “Arable land” are not meant to indicate the amount of land that is potentially cultivable; (b) permanent crops - land cultivated with long-term crops which do not have to be replanted for several years (such as cocoa and coffee); land under trees and shrubs producing flowers, such as roses and jasmine; and nurseries (except those for forest trees, which should be classified under "forest"); and (c) permanent meadows and pastures - land used permanently (five years or more) to grow herbaceous forage crops, either cultivated or growing wild (wild prairie or grazing land). Data are expressed in 1000 hectares. http://faostat.fao.org/site/375/default.aspx

Data Item
2/2/2009 Alan and Bjoern discussing FACS run output data. This is a data item because it is about the cell population. Each element records an event and is typically further composed a set of measurment data items that record the fluorescent intensity stimulated by one of the lasers.
2009-03-16: data item deliberatly ambiguous: we merged data set and datum to be one entity, not knowing how to define singular versus plural. So data item is more general than datum.
2009-03-16: removed datum as alternative term as datum specifically refers to singular form, and is thus not an exact synonym.
Data items include counts of things, analyte concentrations, and statistical summaries.
JAR: datum -- well, this will be very tricky to define, but maybe some information-like stuff that might be put into a computer and that is meant, by someone, to denote and/or to be interpreted by some process... I would include lists, tables, sentences... I think I might defer to Barry, or to Brian Cantwell Smith JAR: A data item is an approximately justified approximately true approximate belief
PERSON: Chris Stoeckert
PERSON: Jonathan Rees
a data item is an information content entity that is intended to be a truthful statement about something (modulo, e.g., measurement precision or other systematic errors) and is constructed/acquired by a method which reliably tends to produce (approximately) truthful statements.

Information Content Entity
The most general classification of an information resource
Examples of information content entites include journal articles, data, graphical layouts, and graphs.
an information content entity is an entity that is generically dependent on some artifact and stands in relation of aboutness to some entity
information content entity
information_content_entity 'is_encoded_in' some digital_entity in obi before split (040907). information_content_entity 'is_encoded_in' some physical_document in obi before split (040907). Previous. An information content entity is a non-realizable information entity that 'is encoded in' some digital or physical entity.
Scalar Measurement Datum
10 feet. 3 ml.
2009-03-16: we decided to keep datum singular in scalar measurement datum, as in this case we explicitly refer to the singular form
Would write this as: has_part some 'measurement unit label' and has_part some numeral and has_part exactly 2, except for the fact that this won't let us take advantage of OWL reasoning over the numbers. Instead use has measurment value property to represent the same. Use has measurement unit label (subproperty of has_part) so we can easily say that there is only one of them.
a scalar measurement datum is a measurement datum that is composed of two parts, numerals and a unit label.
Directive Information Entity
8/6/2009 Alan Ruttenberg: Changed label from "information entity about a realizable" after discussions at ICBO
An information content entity whose concretizations indicate to their bearer how to realize them in a process.
Werner pushed back on calling it realizable information entity as it isn't realizable. However this name isn't right either. An example would be a recipe. The realizable entity would be a plan, but the information entity isn't about the plan, it, once concretized, *is* the plan. -Alan
Data about an Ontology Part
data about an ontology part is a data item about a part of an ontology, for example a term
Plan Specification
2009-03-16: provenance: a term a plan was proposed for OBI (OBI_0000344) , edited by the PlanAndPlannedProcess branch. Original definition was " a plan is a specification of a process that is realized by an actor to achieve the objective specified as part of the plan". It has been subsequently moved to IAO where the objective for which the original term was defined was satisfied with the definitionof this, different, term.
Alternative previous definition: a plan is a set of instructions that specify how an objective should be achieved
PMID: 18323827.Nat Med. 2008 Mar;14(3):226.New plan proposed to help resolve conflicting medical advice.
a directive information entity that when concretized it is realized in a process in which the bearer tries to achieve the objectives, in part by taking the actions specified. Plan specifications includes parts such as objective specification, action specifications and conditional specifications.

Measurement Datum
2/2/2009 is_specified_output of some assay?
A measurement datum is an information content entity that is a recording of the output of a measurement such as produced by a device.

Textual Entity
A textual entity is a part of a manifestation (FRBR sense), a generically dependent continuant whose concretizations are patterns of glyphs intended to be interpreted as words, formulas, etc.
AR, (IAO call 2009-09-01): a document as a whole is not typically a textual entity, because it has pictures in it - rather there are parts of it that are textual entities. Examples: The title, paragraph 2 sentence 7, etc.
MC, 2009-09-14 (following IAO call 2009-09-01): textual entities live at the FRBR (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_Requirements_for_Bibliographic_Records) manifestation level. Everything is significant: line break, pdf and html versions of same document are different textual entities.
PERSON: Lawrence Hunter
Words, sentences, paragraphs, and the written (non-figure) parts of publications are all textual entities

Planned Process
'Plan' includes a future direction sense. That can be problematic if plans are changed during their execution. There are however implicit contingencies for protocols that an agent has in his mind that can be considered part of the plan, even if the agent didn't have them in mind before. Therefore, a planned process can diverge from what the agent would have said the plan was before executing it, by adjusting to problems encountered during execution (e.g. choosing another reagent with equivalent properties, if the originally planned one has run out.)

Event
Only use if no specific subclasses of event:Event are appropriate.
Something that happens at a given place and time.
This class will also display instances of subclasses under Event, e.g. Philosophy Department Discussion Club; 2009 Racker Lecture; screening of a documentary. In addition to a location in space and time, an event may have any or all the following qualities: actively participating agents, passive factors, work products. Also, it may be in a virtual space or part of a series such as a lecture series. The previous short definition was: "An arbitrary classification of a space/time region, by a cognitive agent."
Phase
Phase describes the level of a trial required of drugs before (and after) they are routinely used in clinical practice: - Phase I trials assess toxic effects on humans (not many people participate in them, and usually without controls); - Phase ll trials assess therapeutic benefit (usually involving a few hundred people, usually with controls, but not always); - Phase III trials compare the new treatment against standard (or placebo) treatment (usually a full randomised controlled trial). At this point, a drug can be approved for community use. - Phase IV monitors a new treatment in the community, often to evaluate longterm safety and effectiveness. [Glossary of Terms in The Cochrane Collaboration] A trial can be of a combination phase (e.g., I/II). The concept of phase is not applicable to trials studying certain interventions (e.g., device, procedure, behavioral)
Phase 0
A Phase 0 trial is an exploratory trial involving very limited human exposure, with no therapeutic or diagnostic intent (e.g., screening study, microdose study). [http://prsinfo.clinicaltrials.gov/definitions.html]
Phase 1
A Phase I trial assesses toxic effects on humans (not many people participate, and usually without controls) [Glossary of Terms in The Cochrane Collaboration]

Academic Degree
B.A. Bachelor of Arts

The ObjectProperty relates is used to associate an AcademicDegree with an AwardedDegree. A preferred approach would be to recognize the AwardedDegree as an information artifact which is the output of an AcademicDegree process. This would eliminate the use of relates and relatedBy in the representation of Academic Degrees and Awarded Degrees, provide correct subsumption, and avoid the use of vivo:Relationship. Further, we could rename AwardedDegree AcademicDegree (!) and rename AcademicDegree to AcademicDegreeProcess and eliminate the need for the EducationalProcess currently in the model.

The ObjectProperty relates is used to associate an Award with an AwardReceipt. A preferred approach would be to recognize the AwardReceipt as an information artifact which is the output of the Award process. The award receipt is about the recipient of the award. This would eliminate the use of relates and relatedBy in the representation of Awards and AwardReceipts, provide correct subsumption, and avoid the use of vivo:Relationship. We could then rename AwardReceipt to Award (!) and Award to AwardProcess to reflect their natures (this is why ontologies use numbered class names -- to avoid renaming)

Credential
A driver's license is the result of a credentialing process
An attestation of qualification, competence, or authority issued to an individual by a third party with a relevant or de facto authority or assumed competence to do so.
The ObjectProperty relates is used to associate a Credential with an IssuedCredential. A preferred approach would be to recognize the IssuedCredential as an information artifact which is the output of the Credential process. The IssuedCredential is about the recipient of the issued credential. This would eliminate the use of relates and relatedBy in the representation of Credentials and IssuedCredentials, provide correct subsumption, and avoid the use of vivo:Relationship.

Other ontologies used numbered class names to avoid the need to rename in such cases.

Phase 0 Clinical Trial
Phase 0 is a recent designation for exploratory, first-in-human trials conducted in accordance with the United States Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) 2006 Guidance on Exploratory Investigational New Drug (IND) Studies. Phase 0 trials are also known as human microdosing studies and are designed to speed up the development of promising drugs or imaging agents by establishing very early on whether the drug or agent behaves in human subjects as was expected from preclinical studies.
Phase 1 Clinical Trial
In Phase I trials, researchers test an experimental drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects
Phase 2 Clinical Trial
In Phase 2 trials, an experimental study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3 Clinical Trial
In Phase 3 trials, an experimental study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the experimental drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4 Clinical Trial
In Phase 4 trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's or treatment's risks, benefits, and optimal use.

Wikidata ID
Wikidata identifier
Wikidata entity ID
A Wikidata ID is a unique identifier assigned by Wikidata to an entity. It is an alphanumeric string (e.g., Q28136655) that serves to identify the entity in the Wikidata database (https://www.wikidata.org/) and query for it. In particular, an IDs for a class has the form Q\d*, one for a property has the form P\d*, where \d* is a sequence of digits of any length.
Identifiers can be used as standalone in human-readable text: for instance, Q28136655 = "VIVO". They can be combined with the proper URI prefix to get the corresponding Wikidata URI, which always resolves to an URL: for instance, https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28136655 . The URIs can be shortened using a namespace prefix: for instance, wd:Q28136655; this is the preferred writing for expressing statements in Turtle triples, in SPARQL queries, etc.
Work
This implies that the property is related to an individual's work place
see: http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_Agent
Used to describe any "agent" related to bibliographic items. Such agents can be persons, organizations or groups of any kind.
A collection of individual agents (and may itself play the role of a Agent, ie. something that can perform actions).
A group can also be an organization but need not be; typically used for looser associations of people or organizations acting together in some fashion, not necessarily through formal agreement or on a long-term basis. Added to the VIVO ontology to be able to support informal and perhaps even private groups of people around an idea, funding opportunity, or event. see: http://xmlns.com/foaf/spec/#term_Group
A generic class encompassing several types of organizations.
A kind of Agent corresponding to social instititutions such as companies, societies etc.
Only use if no specific subclasses of foaf:organization desribe the organization.
This class will display all the instances in the subclasses below it, as well as any organizations that were added as part of this generic class because there wasn't a specific class available.
Ued to describe an organization related to bibliographic items such as a publishing company, etc.
