<br><font size=3><b>WHAT: T</b>he </font><font size=2> </font><a href="http://www.neon-project.org/" target=_blank><font size=2 color=#3366bb><u>NeOn
project</u></font></a><font size=2> is supporting an effort to collect
high quality ontologies.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=3>I invite you to submit one or more "</font><a href=http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Odp:WhatIsAnExemplaryOntology target=_blank><font size=3 color=blue><u>exemplary

<ul>
<li><font size=3>you have significant knowledge or experience with, </font>
<li><font size=3>you regard as an excellent example of a "high quality"
ontology <br>
See: "</font><a href=http://ontologydesignpatterns.org/wiki/Odp:WhatIsAnExemplaryOntology target=_blank><font size=3 color=blue><u>What

about this; edit them if you wish.</font></ul><font size=3 face="sans-serif">Can
you or any of your colleagues think of exemplary ontologies to add to the
catalog? Think first about the ontologies you have used that
are authored by others, rather than your own. </font>

find good ontologies to draw inspiration from and to emulate.</i></font>
