@BideZ Thanks for the replies! > The textual definition of 'in vivo model' is 'Experimentation using a whole, living organism as opposed to a partial or dead organism.' By this...

@BideZ Yes, I agree that a 'model' is generally a "simpler" environment than what is being model. However, it seems you are using 'model' in the physical sense (e.g., an...

@BideZ I am looking at ontology version: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/scho/releases/2022-06-27/scho.owl It doesn't contain any object properties. Is this by design?

@bvarner-ebi Good. I agree with him. Somewhere else (not that it matters) I think I recommended the same as @addiehl

**Update**. The counterexample doesn't really apply. NCIT is not necessarily an OBO Foundry ontology. There is an OBO version of NCIT that does use NCIT_ namespace. e.g: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C12218 AFAIK: this...

**Question**: At present we don't allow numbers in the namespace. I think we should consider it. For example, should OBO:COVID-19_ be allowed?

@BideZ I took a brief look at your [bipolar disorder ontology](https://github.com/SCAI-BIO/bipolar-disorder-ontology/blob/main/releases/2022-06-17/BPDO.owl). It has a number of same issues as the schizophrenia ontology: - The ontology does have any object properties....

Not sure I follow all the proposals and counter-proposals here. So, let's consider two concrete cases: 1. UBERON contains both `processual entity` and `process`. As far I can tell, the...

@cmungall Yes. You are right. If I define the class: ``` myont:foo equivalent-to bfo:material-entity or bfo:role ``` A reasoner will infer that `bfo:material-entity` and `bfo:role` are subclasses of `myont:foo`. I...

@cmungall Sorry. Not trying to "what-if" you to death. Just trying to consider the various ways a developer may want to use OBO ontologies, and how this change may impact...
