The BAALL Ontology

The BAALL Ontology is a hierarchically structured ontology that has been developed over the past years for modelling

(dis)abilities and assistance by service robots (such as autonomous wheelchairs) for the Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab, BAALL
food, cooking, and diets.

CompleteVersions refers to an introductory paper[10] , with several application domain ontologies, flattening the hierarchical import structure.

2022SemREC refers to a paper "The Downgrading Axioms Challenge"[11] in the BAALL Ontology, providing some significant examples.

BAALL Notebook shows a demo for experimenting with food and diets in a small example ontology derived from the BAALL Ontology in the Virtual Research Building of the EASE CRC.

The structured BAALL Ontology will be provided soon (with a suitable licence, free for academic use). Work is in progress to integrate its food related parts with the SOMA ontology https://ease-crc.org/soma/, and the FoodOn ontology https://foodon.org as an extension.
