Submission declined on 23 February 2023 by Drmies (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

The National Center for Ontological Research^[1]^[2]^[3] (NCOR) was created in 2005 by Barry Smith with the goal of promoting applied ontology research, curation, tool development, and quality assurance. NCOR provides services to members of the applied ontology community across a variety of fields such as defense and intelligence, biomedicine, manufacturing and quantum physics and engineering.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]

NCOR is supported primarily by ontologists at the University at Buffalo, but also includes external collaborators from scientific, commercial, and government institutions.^[9]^[10]

NCOR Services[edit]

NCOR provides the following services to individuals and organizations using applied ontologies^[11]^[12]:

Identification of applied ontology funding opportunities
Guidance for acquiring funding for applied ontology research
Independent reviews of applied ontologies
Consultant services for ontology development and maintenance
Applied ontology training^[13]^[14]
Outreach and community-building services, including organizing applied ontology conferences^[15]^[16]^[17]

NCOR Support[edit]

NCOR services are provided by senior applied ontology researchers, graduate student interns, and members from collaborators such as CUBRC and the international NCOR chapters, such as NCOR-BR.^[18]^[19]^[20]

NCOR services have been provided to teams working on Basic Formal Ontology^[21] and the Common Core Ontologies,^[22] as well as University at Buffalo groups such as the Center for Multisource Information Fusion,^[23] and the Division of Biomedical Ontology.^[24]
