Abstract

Ontologies are required for precise description of image resources in repositories. The Imaging Ontology describes image acquisition instruments as used in the life sciences and complements ontologies that are used for describing the content. We show how we can reason over optical resolution to assist in experiment planning or knowledge discovery. Use of adjacent classes helps the overall structure of the ontology and its extendibility.
