Hi Kei,

In addition, I think there is another side as well: science community
people, having a role (student, teacher, director of), relations with
fields of study ( immunologist, studies TLR signalling), relations with
events and scientific production ( has published, has organized
conference ), relations with other people ( works with, supervisor of,
... ).

I vaguely remember at least one similar case of ontology, does anyone
have further details?

Cheers.
