Abstract
Publicly available bio-ontologies are utilised by many companies in the biomedical and biotech industries, not just
for the application of Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR), but also as a way to leverage the
collective knowledge of the community. Yet, most public bio-ontologies are not fully fit for purpose due to specific
organisational requirements. At Novo Nordisk Research & Early Development, we are digitally transforming our
data management landscape with an Ontology-Based Data Management (OBDM) strategy. Here we describe
how we incorporate public bio-ontologies into our OBDM system, addressing both our technical blueprint and
our change management approach. We will also explore how the OBDM system plays a crucial role in our
organization’s digital aspirations in discovery fuelled by artificial intelligence, and data federation. Our goal is to
offer insights for FAIR practitioners and developers regarding the challenges faced by large-scale pharmaceutical
companies, share the lessons we have learned, and to foster dialogue with the wider bio-ontology community.
