BFO for OBI ontology 3/3/2014 modified March 10, 2014
Currently deprecated version of BFO was used by OBI. Based on survey of BFO version used in OBO Foundry community, we proposed to adopt approach that most other OBO Foundry reference ontologies have taken by using BFO 2.0 classes + atemporal relations. March 10, 2014 - This vote does not specify the technical implementation of how the use of BFO 2 classes and atemporal relations will be achieved. A proposal has been made to release an official version of BFO 2 with just the classes. A possible implementation is import of this "class only" BFO2 and import of relations from RO. Due to this clarification, the vote end date has been reset. Vote is open until 3/24/2014

In favor: JZ, CS, JO, RV, PRS,AGB, AG, RHS, BP

Against: AR
