title = "The BioTop Family of Upper Level Ontological Resources for Biomedicine",
abstract = "BioTop is a domain upper level ontology for the life sciences, based on OWL DL, introduced ten years ago. This paper provides an update of the current state of this resource, with a special focus on BioTop's top level, BioTopLite, which currently contains 55 classes, 37 object properties and 247 description logics axioms. A bridging file allows harmonising BioTopLite with the classes of Basic Formal Ontology BFO2. The updated OWL resources are available at http://purl.org/biotop. They build the core of several upper level ontological artefacts including bridging ontologies to other upper level resources.",
