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

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 27,2023. Biositemaps represent a mechanism for computational biologists and bio-informaticians to openly broadcast and retrieve meta-data about biomedical data, tools and services (i.e., biomedical resources) over the Internet. All Institutions with an interest in biomedical research can publish a biositemap.rdf file on their Internet site. The technology, developed by the Biositemaps Working Group of the NIH Roadmap National Centers of Biomedical Computing (NCBC), addresses (i) locating, (ii) querying, (iii) composing or combining, and (iv) mining biomedical resources. Each site which intends to contribute to the inventory instantiates a file on its Internet site biositemap.rdf which conforms to a defined RDF schema and uses concepts from the Biomedical Resource Ontology to describe the resources. Each biositemap.rdf file is simply a list of controlled metadata about resources (software tools, databases, material resources) that your organization uses or believes are important to biomedical research. The key enabling technologies are the Information Model (IM) which is the list of metadata fields about each resource (resource_name, description, contact_person, resource_type,...) and the Biomedical Resource Ontology (BRO) which is a controlled terminology for the resource_typeand which is used to improve the sensitivity and specificity of web searches. Biositemaps blend the features of Sitemaps (enabling efficient web-content exploration) and RSS Feeds (a mechanism for wide and effective news dissemination). As a hybrid between Sitemaps and RSS feeds, the Biositemap infrastructure facilitates a decentralized, portable, extensible and computationally tractable generation and consumption of meta-data about existent, revised and new resources for biomedical computation. Web browsers, crawlers and robots can discover, accumulate, process, integrate and deliver Biositemaps content to (human or machine) users in a variety of graphical, tabular, computational formats. Biositemaps content allows such web browsers to pool resource-associated metadata from disparate and diverse sites and present it to the user in an integrated fashion. The Biositemaps protocol provides clues, information and directives for all Biositemap web harvesters that point to the existence and content of such biomedical resources at different sites.

http://bioportal.bioontology.org/annotator

A Web service that annotates textual metadata (e.g. journal abstract) with relevant ontology concepts. NCBO uses this Web service to annotate resources in the NCBO Resource Index. They also provide this Web service as a stand-alone service for users. This Web service can be accessed through BioPortal or used directly in your software. Currently, the annotation workflow is based on syntactic concept recognition (using concept names and synonyms) and on a set of semantic expansion algorithms that leverage the semantics in ontologies (e.g., is_a relations). Their service methodology leverages ontologies to create annotations of raw text and returns them using semantic web standards.

Mark Musen''s laboratory studies components for building knowledge-based systems, controlled terminologies and ontologies, and technology for the Semantic Web. For more than two decades, Musen''s group has worked to elucidate reusable building blocks of intelligent systems, and to develop scalable computational architectures for systems with significant applications in biomedicine. Informatics is the study of information: its structure, its communication, and its use. As society becomes increasingly information intensive, the need to understand, create, and apply new methods for modeling, managing, and acquiring information has never been greater especially in biomedicine. BMIR is home to world class scientists and trainees developing cutting-edge ways to acquire, represent, process, and manage knowledge and data related to health, health care, and the biomedical sciences. Our faculty, students, and staff are committed to ensuring the biomedical community is properly equipped for the information age, and believe our efforts will provide the structure for the burgeoning revolution of health care and the biomedical sciences.

http://www.clo-ontology.org/

A community-driven ontology that is developed to standardize and integrate cell line information and support computer-assisted reasoning. Its focus is on permanent cell lines from culture collections. Upper ontology structures that frame the skeleton of CLO include Basic Formal Ontology and Relation Ontology. Cell lines contained in CLO are associated with terms from other ontologies such as Cell Type Ontology, NCBI Taxonomy, and Ontology for Biomedical Investigation. A common design pattern for the cell line is used to model cell lines and their attributes, the Jurkat cell line provides ane xample. Currently CLO contains over 36,000 cell line entries obtained from ATCC, HyperCLDB, Coriell, and bymanual curation. The cell lines are derived from 194 cell types, 656 anatomical entries, and 217 organisms. The OWL-based CLO is machine-readable and can be used in various applications. The CLO development has become a community effort with international collaborations. The development consortium includes experts from all over the world: the USA, Europe, and Japan.

An ontology for the description of biological and clinical investigations built with international, collaborative effort. The ontology represents the design of an investigation, the protocols and instrumentation used, the material used, the data generated and the type analysis performed on it. This includes a set of universal terms that are applicable across various biological and technological domains, and domain-specific terms relevant only to a given domain. Currently OBI is being built under the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO). This project was formerly titled the Functional Genomics Investigation Ontology (FuGO) project.

https://wiki.phenoscape.org/wiki/Teleost_Anatomy_Ontology

A multi-species anatomy ontology for teleost fishes. It was originally seeded from ZFA, but covers terms relevant to other taxa. The TAO uses terms from the Common Anatomy Reference Ontology (CARO) as a template for its upper level nodes, and the Vertebrate Skeletal Anatomy Ontology (VSAO) for general skeletal anatomy classes. Growth of the TAO is enabled by contributions from data curators and the ichthyological community. The TAO can be browsed by using the NCBO BioPortal and data annotated using TAO terms can be queried using the Phenoscape Knowedgebase.
