Ontologies by SeCo
Ontologies are the basis for creating semantic web applications. As part of SeCo's research projects, the ontologies below have been created either based on existing vocabularies or from scratch.
For ontology services, see ONKI pages.Subject matter ontologies: the KOKO family
These ontologies have been created manually based on existing Finnish keyword thesauri in use. Numbers indicate the approximate number of concepts in the ontologies in 2014.

Biological ontologies
SeCo is developing and publishing together with the Finnish Museum of Natural History and other partners several ontologies/vocabularies of organisms, such as Birds of the World ontology AVIO and Mammals of the World ontology MAMO.
More information about SeCo biological ontologies.
Other ontologies
In addition, SeCo has created and/or published a variety of additional ontologies in the ONKI Ontology Service by using technical transformations or by just re-publishing existing ontologies.
For SeCo's Linked Data publication service see the "7-star" Linked Data Finland portal. The datasets there include a variety of SKOS and other ontologies.
