Abstract The Pollinator Ontology (PolOn), a subset of the EU Pollinator Hub Controlled Vocabulary (EUPH-CV), is an ontology for information and data on pollinators and their interactions with the abiotic and biotic environment, particularly humans. It contains a series of classes, their properties and the relationships between them. A first version of the ontology has been deployed as part of a web-based open-source software application, the EU Pollinator Hub, a tool that has been developed, among others, to promote (1) the standardisation and internationalisation of data related to pollinators, (2) the compliance of this data with FAIR guiding principles for scientific data management and stewardship, and (3) the community-driven development of the ontology in the future.
