🔖 The BSSO Foundry: A community of practice for ontologies in the behavioural and social sciences
🔗 Link: wellcomeopenresearch.org/art…
📚We launched the Behavioural & Social Sciences Ontology (BSSO) Foundry - a community-driven repository for creating & sharing ontologies. Together, we can streamline research efforts, reduce duplication, and enable meaningful integration across studies and disciplines.
