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.

Software Development Area
