Ontology Development Area

Below are wikis for some of the current OBO ontologies. Each wiki is housed on the bioontologies.org wiki, in its own partition (wikispace) of the main wiki

• BRO:Main_Page - Biomedical Resource Ontology
• PATO:Main_Page - An ontology of phenotypic qualities
• RO:Main_Page - OBO Relations ontology
• CARO:Main_Page - Reference anatomical ontology
• CL:Main_Page - OBO Cell ontology
• SO:Main_Page - Sequence Ontology
• Disease:Main_Page - Disease Ontology, and other ontologies pertaining to diseases and disorders
• OCI:Main_Page - Ontology of Clinical Investigation
• NPO:Main_Page - NanoParticle Ontology

Note that each ontology lives in its own wikispace which corresponds to the OBO:IDSpace of that ontology. Note for wiki editors: all wiki pages that are to be considered local to a particular ontology should be prefixed with that IDSpace.
