Development of an Ontology in Plant Genetic Resources

The paper presents the development of an ontology for plant genetic resources in the Gene bank of the Institute of Plant Genetic Resources in the town of Sadovo. The structure of the ontology and metadata are exhibited along with each of the concepts and properties in order to present knowledge about plant genetic resources using the capabilities and benefits of ontologies. The ontology was developed on the basis of the taxonomy for plant genetic resources and the EURISCO European standard.
