General information

The Soil Food Web Ontology (SFWO) is a OWL ontology which provides a standardised terminology and a logical formalisation of the domain of soil trophic ecology. It proposes a reference vocabulary to describe information about trophic interactions, feeding-related functional traits, and feeding processes of soil biota. By harmonizing the definitions of trophic groups, SFWO provides a common, logically-sound framework for soil-associated consumers classification across taxonomic groups and trophic levels. The Soil Food Web Ontology aims at being a reference ontology for soil trophic ecology, and a resource for ontology-driven applications in the field, including: trophic trait datasets standardization, trophic data integration and knowledge graph construction, automated soil food web reconstruction using OWL reasoning, and trophic information extraction., The Soil Food Web Ontology (SFWO) describes concepts related to the trophic ecology of soil organisms, including diets, food resources, trophic processes, and trophic groups, across taxonomic groups and trophic levels. SFWO aims at being both a reference ontology -including a standardised vocabulary- for soil trophic ecology, and an application ontology, with a focus on reasoning-based applications. See more...
