MODSCI

Modern Science Ontology

Modern Science Ontology (ModSci), for modeling relationships between modern science branches and related entities, such as scientific discoveries, phenomena, renowned scientists, instruments, etc. ModSci is an upper ontology that provides a unifying framework for the various domain ontologies that make up the Science Knowledge Graph Ontology Suite. The Systematic Approach for Building Ontologies (SABiO) has been followed in the development of ModSci. ModSci is a poly-hierarchical ontology that can be utilized in semantic web applications.
