NQCG support research and business communities involved in nano-scale science, engineering and technology by developing complex industry-quality ontologies for nanotechnology, which are freely available and accessible through the technology platform IFT.
Specific software tools for ontology engineering are also available from NQCG and can help
- in the collaborative development of new ontologies, including extraction and analysis of concept candidates from text
- in the merging and decomposition of existing ontologies, including location of overlapping or conflicting regions
- in the update of ontologies by suggesting the removal; renaming; or inclusion of new terms through document analysis
Other tools available can be used for risk transfer assessment and for knowledge and intellectual property portfolio management.
