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

• 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.

NCBO Biomedical Resources index

NCBO has indexed some biomedical resources with ontology concepts from BioPortal and UMLS. The index is based on semantic annotation of biomedical data. It enable users to locate biomedical data resources related to particular ontology concepts.

• Learn more about the the resource index here: NCBO Biomedical Resources Index.
