Training and Education

NCOR is committed to developing and providing training and education in the proper development and deployment of ontology.

While it may be easy to obtain and even to use ontology-development tools, it is not easy to do ontology well. NCOR and its associated members and partners can offer training and guidance in the proper and effective development for a variety of projects in scientific research, government, and business.
