Interactive browser for the complete Human Phenotype Ontology (~19,800 terms), with a graph-based term explorer and a clinical profile analyzer for phenotype similarity, differential diagnosis, and gene prioritization.

In gene therapy, stem cells are modified using viral vectors to deliver the therapeutic transgene and replace functional properties since the genetic modification is stable and inherited in all cell progeny. The retrieval and mapping of the sequences flanking the virus-host DNA junctions allows the identification of insertion sites (IS), essential for monitoring the evolution of genetically modified cells in vivo. A comprehensive toolkit for the analysis of IS is required to foster clonal trackign studies and supporting the assessment of safety and long term efficacy in vivo. This package is aimed at (1) supporting automation of IS workflow, (2) performing base and advance analysis for IS tracking (clonal abundance, clonal expansions and statistics for insertional mutagenesis, etc.), (3) providing basic biology insights of transduced stem cells in vivo.

The Ontology for Biomarkers of Clinical Interest (OBCI) formally defines biomarkers for diseases, phenotypes, and effects.

EMMO is a multidisciplinary effort to develop a standard representational framework (the ontology) for applied sciences. It is based on physics, analytical philosophy and information and communication technologies. It has been instigated by materials science to provide a framework for knowledge capture that is consistent with scientific principles and methodologies. (from GitHub)

With the DataPLANT biology ontology (DPBO), DataPLANT provides an intermediate ontology that acts as a broker and bridge between the individual researcher/domain experts and main ontology providers. DPBO enables easy and agile collection of missing vocabulary as well as relationships between terms for (meta)data annotation using DataPLANT’s Swate tool.

Darwin Core is a vocabulary standard for transmitting information about biodiversity. This document lists all terms in namespaces currently used in the vocabulary.

DCAT-AP is a DCAT profile for sharing information about Catalogues containing Datasets and Data Services descriptions in Europe, under maintenance by the SEMIC action, Interoperable Europe. This Application Profile provides a minimal common basis within Europe to share Datasets and Data Services cross-border and cross-domain. [from homepage]

METPO (Microbial Ecophysiological Trait and Phenotype Ontology) provides standardized terms for describing microbial phenotypes, growth characteristics, and culture conditions. It includes classes for growth media, temperature tolerances, pH tolerances, and relationships like "grows in" and "does not grow in".

A teaching platform for computer-aided drug design (CADD) using open source packages and data.

An interactive platform that performs statistical analyses on metabolomics datasets and allows visualising results with ease. The interface gives users autonomy in creating figures suited to their reporting and publication needs.

PomBase manages gene and phenotype data related to Fission Yeast. FYECO contains experimental conditions relevant to fission yeast biology. The FYECO namespace shows up in data ingests from PomBase.

IDPO is used to describe structural aspects of an IDP/IDR, self-functions and functions directly associated with their disordered state. GO is used to describe functional aspects of an IDP/IDR.

The Experimental Measurements, Purposes, and Treatments ontologY (EMPTY) is a structured vocabulary designed to capture and standardize the scientific reasoning behind experimental measurements. It addresses a critical gap in existing metadata standards, which primarily focus on technical specifications rather than scientific intent. The ontology provides a common language to express why a measurement was taken and the conceptual conditions under which it should be interpreted. By focusing on experimental purposes and treatments, EMPTY is designed to significantly improve the findability, interoperability, and reusability of scientific data. This enables researchers to discover relevant datasets for meta-analyses and cross-disciplinary research based on shared scientific goals.

An EMMO-based domain ontology for atomistic and electronic modelling.

The Graphic Descriptor Ontology (GDO) is intended for use in describing graphics that represent the form of objects. It uses the language of visual communication, illustration, and technical drawing. The GDO is rooted in the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and uses several classes from the Information Entity Ontology of the Common Core Ontologies as a mid-level ontology. [from https://gdo.endlessforms.info/about]

The Crystallographic Defect Core Ontology (CDCO) defines the common terminology shared across all types of crystallographic defects, providing a unified framework for data integration in materials science.

An _gentle_ implementation of the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), which is an upper level ontology like BFO that is concerned with e.g. expressing temporal relationships between events.

MathModDB is a database of mathematical models developed by the Mathematical Research Data Initiative (MaRDI). MathModDB defines a data model with classes (Mathematical Model, Mathematical Formulation, Research Field, Research Problem, Quantity [Kind], Computational Task, Publication), object properties/relations, data properties and annotation properties as an ontology. This ontology is populated with individuals/data from various fields of applied mathematics, making it a knowledge graph. [from homepage]

The Vibration Spectroscopy Ontology defines technical terms with which research data produced in vibrational spectroscopy experiments can be semantically enriched, made machine readable and FAIR.

A crystallography domain ontology based on EMMO and the CIF core dictionary. It is implemented as a formal language. (from https://nfdi4cat.org/services/ontologie-sammlung/)

The Data Science Ontology is a research project of IBM Research AI and Stanford University Statistics. Its long-term objective is to improve the efficiency and transparency of collaborative, data-driven science.

SO is a collaborative ontology project for the definition of sequence features used in biological sequence annotation. It is part of the Open Biomedical Ontologies library.

Starting from one SBML file, it extracts information from each listOfCompartments, listOfSpecies and listOfReactions element by saving them into data frames. Each table provides one row for each entity (i.e. either compartment, species, reaction or speciesReference) and one set of columns for the attributes, one column for the content of the 'notes' subelement and one set of columns for the content of the 'annotation' subelement.

The academic event ontology, currently still in development and thus unstable, is an OBO compliant reference ontology for describing academic events such as conferences, workshops or seminars and their series. It is being developed as part of the [ConfIDent project](https://projects.tib.eu/confident/) to allow RDF representations of the academic events and series stored and curated in the [ConfIDent platform](https://www.confident-conference.org/index.php/main_page).

An ontology of processes triggered by homeostatic imbalance, with a focus on COVID-19 infectious processes.

A small ontology expressing skills and competencies.

The ABCD (AntiBodies Chemically Defined) database is a manually curated depository of sequenced antibodies

AGROVOC is a multilingual and controlled vocabulary designed to cover concepts and terminology under FAO's areas of interest. It is the largest Linked Open Data set about agriculture available for public use and its greatest impact is through providing the access and visibility of data across domains and languages.
