The National Center for Ontological Research[1][2] (NCOR) was created in 2005 by Barry Smith with the goal of promoting applied ontology research, curation, tool development, and quality assurance. NCOR provides services to members of the applied ontology community across a variety of fields such as defense and intelligence, biomedicine, manufacturing and quantum physics and engineering.[3][4][5][6][7]

NCOR is supported primarily by ontologists at the University at Buffalo, but also includes external collaborators from scientific, commercial, and government institutions.[8][9]

NCOR Services

[edit]

NCOR provides the following services to individuals and organizations using applied ontologies[10][11]:

NCOR Support

[edit]

NCOR services are provided by senior applied ontology researchers, graduate student interns, and members from collaborators such as CUBRC and the international NCOR chapters, such as NCOR-BR.[16][17][18]

NCOR services have been provided to teams working on Basic Formal Ontology[19] and the Common Core Ontologies,[20] as well as University at Buffalo groups such as the Center for Multisource Information Fusion,[21] and the Division of Biomedical Ontology.[22]
