- Assessment items submitted to the database should be tagged with discipline-specific concepts, as defined by the database. For biology, we have chosen to use the NBII Biocomplexity Thesaurus. Ontologies from other disciplines are pending.
- Although the database development team has chosen an ontology (with the assistance of experts in the discipline), additions to that ontology must be possible, to reflect the dynamic nature of science.
- An ontology for a particular discipline has been chosen and incorporated into the database.
- Faculty member will upload an assessment.
- Following parsing of the assessment, the faculty member will be prompted to indicate concepts associated with each assessment item. A pull-down menu might be appropriate (but it could be overly large).
- Faculty member has an assessment item on a new topic in biology.
- The current ontology does not provide an appropriate topic or concept for this assessment item.
- Faculty member submits a suggested addition to the ontology to the database administration team.
- The admin team reviews the suggestion and makes the appropriate changes to the ontology.
