Ontological realism: A methodology for coordinated evolution of scientific ontologies (2010, positive): “To this end we have proposed the set of categories together forming the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) (Grenon and Smith, 2004), speciﬁcally the three top-level categories of independent continuant , dependent continuant and occurrent .”
Towards a general theory of geographic representation in GIS (2007, neutral): “More often, however, a GIS user is faced with treating time as a series of snapshots or occurrents (the SNAP ontology of Grenon and Smith 2004), in other words as an ordered sequence of separate fields defined over the spatial dimensions only.”
Surgical data science – from concepts toward clinical translation (2020, background): “Most notable is the family of ontologies gathered under the OpenBiological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) Foundry (Smith et al., 2007), which cover a wide array of topics from the biomedical domain and share the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) (Grenon and Smith, 2004) as a common top-level ontology.”
The ChEBI reference database and ontology for biologically relevant chemistry: enhancements for 2013 (2012, methodology): “To comply with our goal of increasing interoperability with other ontologies in the biomedical domain, ChEBI has provided a mapping to the upper level ontology Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) (12), version 2.0.”
Event‐oriented approaches to geographic phenomena (2005, background): “The work has greatly benefited from discussions with Matt Duckham, Max Egenhofer, Kathleen Hornsby, Lars Kulik, Barry Smith, and Rui Zhang.”
Ontological considerations in GIScience (2005, background): “Although a ‘meta-ontology’ links them together, and ‘trans-ontologies’ as links and partial entities have also been proposed (Grenon and Smith 2004) to bridge this gap, this dual categorization does not completely fulfil the desiderata for an integrated spatio-temporal ontology needed for a…”
