We are developing algorithms and tools for accessing, visualizing, and analyzing biomedical knowledge and data. The Center’s technologies address the needs of a diverse community of users.
Core Technologies
As part of the Center's activities, we are producing the following resources for the biomedical community:
An integrated library of open biomedical ontologies (OBO)
A database of annotations on experimental data summarizing key attributes such as anatomy, phenotype, and genetic features (OBD)
A Web portal (BioPortal) for accessing, visualizing, and analyzing experimental data informed using ontologies and annotations.
A prototype system (Open Biomedical Resources) integrated with BioPortal enabling researchers to search for biomedical data associated (annotated) with specific ontology terms.
A tool for annotating and storing biomedical phenotypes using terms from multiple ontologies (Phenote)
Tools to assist biomedical investigators in the annotation of experimental data using ontologies accessible through BioPortal.
