🟒 Biopharma Reference Ontology Attributes

Maturity: 🟒 Released

IRI: https://spec.industrialontologies.org/ontology/biopharma/BiopharmaReferenceOntologyAttributes/

RDF: BiopharmaReferenceOntologyAttributes.rdf

This ontology serves as a staging area for candidate common attribute constructs assembled within BMIC. The content includes attributes that may apply across different kinds of bearers, including materials and equipment. These constructs support consistent attribute modeling across BMIC ontologies and provide candidate content for future inclusion in an IOF mid-level ontology, with the Materials Science and Engineering group expected to be the main target for many of these constructs.
