Biocode Commons Ontology Hackathon

IAO has the term document, which is defined as "A collection of information content entities intended to be understood together as a whole" and has as examples journal article, patent application, laboratory notebook, and book. IAO also has a term for report, but it is not defined. With this term, we want to describe the physical object that corresponds to some information content entity, together with the information content contained in the document or report. This class may be less important for modeling collection data, but could be important for efforts to get hand written (specifically dependent) reports into an electronic (generically dependent) report, and monitoring that process.
