Building Ontologies with Basic Formal Ontology How to build an ontology import BFO into ontology editor such as Protégé work with domain experts to create an initial midlevel classification find ~50 most commonly used terms corresponding to types in reality arrange these terms into an informal is_a hierarchy according to this universality principle A is_a B every instance of A is an instance of B fill in missing terms to give a complete hierarchy (leave it to domain experts to populate the lower levels of the hierarchy) BFO A simple, small top-level ontology to support information integration in scientific research Thoroughly tested in over 150 ontology development projects Large cadre of ontology development experts trained to use it No abstracta (numbers, propositions, …) No overlap with domain ontologies 4 Barry Smith, Federal Big Data Working Group, August 31, 2015

Conclusions and Recommendations Barry Smith has brought science to ontology with his new book: Building Ontologies with Basic Formal Ontology, just like science has come to data in Data Science. The Federal Big Data Working Group Meetup follows a Data Mining - Science - Questions - Publication Process which is being used on the Joint Doctrine Publications to support the Information Meeting on Joint Doctrine Ontology. Ultimately, the nearly 70 Joint Doctrine PDF files could be converted to Word and imported into MindTouch to create a Semantic Knowledge Base and Spreadsheet Index that could be visualized in Spotfire. 12
