Abstract
We present the design and development of NanoParticle Ontology (NPO). The ontology is implemented in the Ontology Web Language (OWL). The domain terms in NPO currently represent entities, which describe knowledge about physical, chemical, and functional properties of nanoparticles characterized in cancer nanotechnology research. The upper-level of NPO is formed using terms from the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO).
