It leaves open if an organization is a material entity or a dependent continuant, as no consensus was reached on that. The current placement as material is therefore temporary, in order to move forward with development. Here is the entire email summary, on which the definition is based: 1) there are organization_member_roles (president, treasurer, branch editor), with individual persons as bearers 2) there are organization_roles (employer, owner, vendor, patent holder) 3) an organization has a charter / rules / bylaws, which specify what roles there are, how they should be realized, and how to modify the charter/rules/bylaws themselves. It is debatable what the organization itself is (some kind of dependent continuant or an aggregate of people). This also determines who/what the bearer of organization_roles' are. My personal favorite is still to define organization as a kind of 'legal entity', but thinking it through leads to all kinds of questions that are clearly outside the scope of OBI. Interestingly enough, it does not seem to matter much where we place organization itself, as long as we can subclass it (University, Corporation, Government Agency, Hospital), instantiate it (Affymetrix, NCBI, NIH, ISO, W3C, University of Oklahoma), and have it play roles. This leads to my proposal: We define organization through the statements 1 - 3 above, but without an 'is a' statement for now. We can leave it in its current place in the is_a hierarchy (material entity) or move it up to 'continuant'. We leave further clarifications to BFO, and close this issue for now."""@en ; obo_purl:IAO_0000117 "James Malone", "Jie Zheng", "PERSON: Alan Ruttenberg", "PERSON: Bjoern Peters", "PERSON: Philippe Rocca-Serra", "PERSON: Susanna Sansone", "Tomasz Adamusiak" ; obo_purl:IAO_0000119 "GROUP: OBI" ; ns0:EFO_URI "http://www.ebi.ac.uk/efo/EFO_0002010" ; oboinowl_gen:hasDbXref "MO:177", "NCIt:C92453", "SNOMEDCT:21139007" ; oboinowl_gen:hasExactSynonym "organisation" ; a owl:Class ; rdfs:label "organization", "organization"@en ; rdfs:subClassOf obo_purl:BFO_0000040 . ns0:EFO_0001732 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0001733 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0001738 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0002012 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0002910 rdfs:subClassOf obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0002911 rdfs:subClassOf obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0004443 rdfs:subClassOf obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0009738 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0009739 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0009740 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0009741 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0009742 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 . ns0:EFO_0009743 obo_purl:RO_0000052 obo_purl:OBI_0000245 .
