Abstract
The Pollinator Ontology, a subset of the EU Pollinator Hub Controlled Vocabulary (EUPH-CV), is an ontology for information and data about pollinators and their interaction with the abiotic and biotic environment, particularly humans. It contains a series of concepts, referred to as classes, their properties and the relationships between them. A first version of the ontology has been deployed as part of 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 community-driven development of the ontology and (3) the integration of existing vocabularies in the future.
Executive summary
Data overview
The EU Pollinator Hub (EUPH) provides a controlled vocabulary (EUPH-CV) for datastandardisation. A subset of the EUPH-CV has been designed as an ontology, the Pollinator Ontology, in which terms are arranged in a hierarchical structure, enriched with definitions, formal relationships between terms, and other properties (e.g., relations to metadata standard elements, comments, images, and version information).
Data value
The classes im the controlled vocabulary and the relationships between them serve as a backbone (1) for the definition of the metadata standard elements (EUPH-MS), (2) for the standardisation of data stored on the EUPH in the form of literals, resource identifiers or resource description frameworks (RDF), and (3) for the alignment of terminologies from different vocabularies. The Pollinator Ontology is a crucial technology in knowledge management, big data processing, and machine learning. The use of terms from ontologies to annotate research data greatly improves automated data interpretation and interoperability and, hence, compliance with FAIR principles.
Data description
The dataset contains 4 files, which are required to analyse the ontoplogy metrics. File terms.csv (442 733 bytes) contains the basic information on the classes. File terms_to_terms.csv (117 650 bytes) contains the relationships between classes. File translations.csv (2 285 199 bytes) contains the translations of the classes to human languages. The file language.csv (1 441 bytes) contains the name of the human languages.
Data application
The data should be used to validate the method used in the manuscript "The EU Pollinator Hub Controlled Vocabulary: An Ontology for Pollinators" submitted for publication in December 2025.

Introduction
The Pollinator Ontology of the EU Pollinator Hub Controlled Vocabulary (EUPH-CV) is an ontology for information and data about pollinators and their interaction with the abiotic and biotic environment, particularly humans. It contains a series of concepts, referred to as 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 community-driven development of the ontology and (3) the integration of existing vocabularies in the future.
Material and methods
Data acquisition
Data was collected with the vocabulary management user interface of the EU Pollinator Hub, which has been developed to create and maintene the Controlled Vocabulary and which is regulated by a set of SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) and Work Instructions (WI).
Data preparation
A detailed description of the method will become available after the publication of the manuscript.
Data validation
None
Data analysis
Data analysis was performrd with Jupyter Lab notebook (Version 4.5.1).

Noa Simón Delso became Scientific Director and Project Manager at BeeLife at the beginning of 2021. She holds a PhD in Agricultural Science and Bioengineering from the Université Catholique de Louvain (Belgium), an MSc in Economy, Management and Consumer Studies from Wageningen University (the Netherlands) and she is a DVM from the University of León (Spain).
In her scientific career, Noa has specialised in environmental toxicology, particularly on bees, environmental policy and honey bee health, fields in which she has published several papers in peer-reviewed international journals in the field of environmental research, health and toxicology. In 2019 she started diversifying her activities, evolving towards the implementation of data science to pollinators health. In parallel, she has provided technical assistance to Belgian and European beekeepers and decision makers.
Since 2009, she has advised in scientific-technical dossiers to the European organisation BeeLife, following the evolution and implementation of European legislation on the subject of pesticide authorisation, agricultural and environmental policy. During this time, she developed great expertise in the regulatory framework and policies related to pollinator health and conservation.
