Abstract: Introduced by Cass Sunstein and Richard Thaler, nudges have become an important tool in public policy, in particular for health-related interventions. This paper provides foundations to represent nudges in OBO Foundry ontologies. It defines a nudge as a function of an environment (or part thereof) that is designed to influence behavior, in order to contribute to the influencee's welfare or the society's welfare, and that is easily resistible. Nudges are distinguished from nudge-setting processes and nudge-activation processes.
