For Oncology R&D data domains, model, code, test, and release ontology modules and mappings that power knowledge graph, master/reference data, analytics, and AI/LLM applications.
Translate domain knowledge from Oncology & subject-matter experts in related disciplines into OWL/RDF classes and properties, SKOS vocabularies, and SHACL constraints, and publish validated, versioned packages and APIs for broad reuse.
Participate in a wider community of scientists standardizing biomedical data across R&D aimed at increasing AI Readiness of a broad range of data domains Maintain accountability for selected Oncology R&D ontology roadmap for key domains – define scope, use cases, and success metrics; align with internal canonical models and relevant W3C/domain standards.
Model and govern the ontology using (OWL, RDFS, SKOS, SHACL); capture provenance and maintain SPARQL queries with validation.
Adhere to standards—modeling guidelines, naming/versioning, change control, releases/deprecations—and partner with enterprise governance/tooling teams to embed reusable patterns for product teams and consumers.
Play a role in developing these standards as appropriate.
Implement data quality checks (coverage, conformance, unit/ID normalization) and contribute to validation reports.
