SOP: Term requests

Anyone may request a new term, or a change to an existing term, in any member ontology.

  1. Open an issue in the ontology's tracker (https://w3id.org/lof/{id}/tracker) using the New term request form. Give a proposed label, definition, parent class, source, and an example of use.
  2. A maintainer responds within 30 days (LOF-P-014), either adding the term, pointing to an existing term, or explaining why it is out of scope.
  3. If the term belongs in a different member ontology, the maintainer transfers the issue there.
