Welcome to the National Center for Ontological Research (NCOR) GitHub organization for ontology engineering education and training. All materials here are developed and maintained by NCOR contributors to support open education in ontology, knowledge graph technologies, and semantic systems.
Our Mission NCOR’s mission is to advance the public understanding and professional practice of ontology engineering. Through openly licensed resources, we aim to equip learners, developers, and researchers with the knowledge and tools needed to design, implement, and sustain semantically rich, AI-integrated data systems.
All content hosted in this organization is:
- Created and maintained by NCOR and its collaborators,
- Released under open licenses (as indicated in each repository), and
- Provided independently of any university or other institutional affiliation.
Use, reuse, and contribution are encouraged under the terms of the applicable repository license.
