NewScientist of all places are talking about ontologies. Specifically An ontology for scientific experiments.
"Called EXPO, it can be used to translate scientific experiments into a format that can be interpreted by a computer."
Wow! translate experiments, that's impressive I would love to find out how the scrawny hand-writing, contained inside the standard lab notebook, dog-eared and drenched in all manner or reagents, gets translated into an ontology, that's more impressive than the ontology itself.
