BioPortal 2.0 - Now Available!
BioPortal 2.0 gives access to the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) library just as the original BioPortal did. Users can browse individual ontologies with three browsing paradigms -- text, tree-view, and graph view -- and search across all or specific ontologies according to term name or attribute content.
New features on BioPortal 2.0 include:
- URIs for all ontology content, which enable developers to access BioPortal content from their applications
- Access to BioPortal contents and capabilities through REST services, enabling developers to integrate BioPortal functionality in their applications
- Ability to add marginal notes to classes in BioPortal ontologies, a feature that enables the community to comment on ontologies and discuss their contents
- Ability to create point to point mappings between concepts in different BIoPortal ontologies
- Export of mappings in RDF format
- Multiple ontology navigation, which enables users to have several ontologies opened simultaneously in different tabs in the user interface
- Ontology peer-review, which enables users to describe projects for which they use BioPortal ontologies, and rate and review ontologies according to several dimensions
- Ontology navigation using flex visualization
- Improved OWL support
- Server-Side Flexibility through dependency injection
For documentation on BioPortal 2.0, including REST Web Service APIs, an Installation Guide, and GForge Site, see the NCBO Developer Documentation Page on our wiki.
