The ontology of medically related social entities: recent developments

BACKGROUND The Ontology of Medically Related Social Entities (OMRSE) was initially developed in 2011 to provide a framework for modeling demographic data in Resource Description Framework/Web Ontology Language. It is built upon the Basic Formal Ontology and conforms to Open Biomedical Ontologies Foundry's best practices. DESCRIPTION We report recent development of OMRSE which includes representations of organizations, roles, facilities, demographic data, enrollment in insurance plans, and data about socio-economic indicators. CONCLUSIONS OMRSE's coverage has been expanding in recent years to include a wide variety of classes and has been useful in several biomedical applications.
