Reviving nmrCV or integrating it with CHMO?

In NFDI4Chem we identified the need for ontology terms that can be used to annotate NMR spectroscopy datasets within repositories such as nmrXiv. Although nmrCV already provides more domain specific terms than the Chemical Methods Ontology (CHMO) which can be reused, it is currently not actively maintained, was deliberately designed as a rather flat controlled vocabulary for the file format nmrML and contains issues to be resolved, especially when considered as a possible ontology module within a larger chemical ontology framework. Given these circumstances we would like to discuss how nmrCV could be revived to add new needed terms and axioms or whether it would be better to integrate it into CHMO. The focus of this discussion will be on the use case requirements of nmrXiv and the NFDI4Chem Terminology Service as possible tools to help manage this process.
