Semantic Farm and Bioregistry Updates - November 7th, 2026
This week saw the addition of 16 new records to the Semantic Farm and the Bioregistry for ontologies, controlled vocabularies, and schemas relevant to chemistry that were either presented or discussed at the 5th Ontologies4Chem Workshop in Limburg an der Lahn from November 2nd-4th, 2026 along with an accompanying collection covering these discussions.
