Taxonomic names are ambiguous as identifiers of biodiversity data, as they refer to a particular concept of a taxon in an expert’s mind (

In our presentation, we will provide an overview of phyloreferencing and will describe the model and workflow we use to encode clade definitions in OWL, based on concepts and terms taken from the Comparative Data Analysis Ontology (
