NIF Dysfunction Ontlogy Resource Report Resource Website |
NIF Dysfunction Ontlogy (RRID:SCR_010365) | NIFDYS | controlled vocabulary, data or information resource, ontology | Ontology that contains the former BIRNLex-Disease, version 1.3.2. -- The BIRN Project lexicon provided entities for data and database annotation for the BIRN project, covering anatomy, disease, data collection, project management and experimental design. It was built using the organizational framework provided by the foundational Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). It used an abstract biomedical layer on top of that - OBO-UBO which was constructed as a proposal to the OBO Foundry. This was meant to support creating a sharable view of core biomedical objects such as biomaterial_entity, and organismal_entity that all biomedical ontologies are likely to need and want to use with the same intended meaning. The BIRNLex biomaterial entities have already been factored to separately maintained ontology - BIRNLexBiomaterialEntity.owl which this BIRNLex-Main.owl file imports. The Ontology of Biomedical Investigation (OBI) is also imported and forms the foundation for the formal description of all experiment-related artifacts. The BIRNLex will serve as the basis for construction of a formal ontology for the multiscale investigation of neurological disease. | owl |

EDAM Ontology Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
EDAM Ontology (RRID:SCR_006620) | EDAM | controlled vocabulary, data or information resource, ontology | An ontology of bioinformatics operations (tool, application, or workflow functions), types of data including identifiers, topics (application domains), and data formats. The applications of EDAM are within organizing tools and data, finding suitable tools in catalogues, and integrating them into complex applications or workflows. Semantic annotations with EDAM are applicable to diverse entities such as for example Web services, databases, programmatic libraries, standalone tools and toolkits, interactive applications, data schemas, data sets, or publications within bioinformatics. Annotation with EDAM may also contribute to data provenance, and EDAM terms and synonyms can be used in text mining. EDAM - and in particular the EDAM Data sub-ontology - serves also as a markup vocabulary for bioinformatics data on the Semantic Web. | bioinformatics, operation, data, topic, type, identifier, format, semantic annotation, obo format, owl |

LexGrid Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
LexGrid (RRID:SCR_006627) | LexGrid | software resource | LexGrid (Lexical Grid) provides support for a distributed network of lexical resources such as terminologies and ontologies via standards-based tools, storage formats, and access/update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid Vision is for a distributed network of terminological resources. It is the foundation of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology BioPortal interface and web-services, and can parse OBO format, as well as other formats such as OWL. Currently, there are many terminologies and ontologies in existence. Just about every terminology has its own format, its own set of tools, and its own update mechanisms. The only thing that most of these pieces have in common with each other is their incompatibility. This makes it very hard to use these resources to their full potential. We have designed the Lexical Grid as a way to bridge terminologies and ontologies with a common set of tools, formats and update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid is: * accessible through a set of common APIs * joined through shared indices * online accessible * downloadable * loosely coupled * locally extendable * globally revised * available in web-space on web-time * cross-linked The realization of this vision requires three interlocking components, which are: * Standards - access methods and formats need to be published and openly available * Tools - standards based tools must be readily available * Content - commonly used terminologies have to be available for access and download Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible | software library, parse, ontology |
