IVOAO

[Ed Shaya]

An ontology was created from the IVOAT thesaurus and now has been merged 
with the old UMD ontology.
HTML OWLDOC is at http://atlas.astro.umd.edu:8080/astro-onto/index.html .
The SVN archive is at http://archive.astro.umd.edu/ont/  .
The ultratop level is IVOAO_root.owl which just imports all the others.
The top level is IVOAO which has words that are common to more than one 
science field and also words that belong in some ontology that has not 
been created yet such as  earthscience.owl or math.owl. 
There still needs to be more integration where new(old) terms are made 
subclasses of (old)new terms.  Soon.
Comments are welcome.

Cheers,
Ed
