Found this - sounds like BFO maintainers decided against recommending that organizations, let alone companies, should fall under “object aggregate”: https://github.com/BFO-ontology/BFO-2020/issues/19

Looks like that ontology places commercial orgs under “object aggregate”, which falls under “material entity” (and ultimately under “independent continuant”. That seems a bit odd to me - particularly the “material entity” part, and also the fact that it implies that companies (business entities) have no existence independent of their members. I guess this is an area of some debate though, and it’s good to have this example.

Seeking Guidance on Representing a Company in BFO Ontology

Has anyone here represented a “company” (as in a business entity) under the BFO? Where did you place it? Right now I’m leaning towards a home under “generically dependent continuant”. What do you think/are there browsable ontologies out there where this has already been done?

Thanks! Does it include any coverage on strategies appropriate for querying OWL ontology axioms? I recently ran into a problem (now solved) where I wanted to find classes that had OWL definitions of a certain form. Writing the query requires some understanding of how OWL axioms are represented in RDF, and how to query RDF lists. Wondering where to go for support at that level of complexity.

And of course, I’m sure anything we could do to help support their funding efforts would be mutually beneficial for both us users and the Protege team!

Discussion on Protege Desktop Funding and Update Delays

For those who depend on Protege Desktop, there’s an active discussion on their user mailing-list right now about funding. Might be worth a look, especially if you’re wondering why there has have been no Protege Desktop updates for the last 2-3 years. Link to a key post in the thread: https://mailman.stanford.edu/pipermail/protege-user/2022-June/013173.html
