The Leibniz Institute DSMZ is the most diverse biological resource center in the world and one of the largest collections of microorganisms and cell cultures worldwide (bacteria, archaea, protists, yeasts, fungi, bacteriophages, plant viruses, genomic bacterial DNA as well as human and animal cell lines). The following designations are used as part of local unique identifiers: - `PC`: positive control - `NC`: negative control - `AS`: antiserum - `PV`: plant viruses - `RT`: recommended test - `ACC`: human or animal cell line - `DSM`: microorganism cell line

EARL is a vocabulary, the terms of which are defined across a set of specifications and technical notes, and that is used to describe test results. The primary motivation for developing this vocabulary is to facilitate the exchange of test results between Web accessibility evaluation tools in a vendor-neutral and platform-independent format. It also provides reusable terms for generic quality assurance and validation purposes. [from homepage]

The Enzyme Nomenclature (also known as the Enzyme Commission Code) is a species-agnostic controlled vocabulary for specific enzymes and an associated hierarchical classification into 7 main categories. The Enzyme Nomenclature is maintained by the [Nomenclature Committee](https://iubmb.org/about/committees/nomenclature-committee/) of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB). A detailed history of the nomenclature since the 1950s can be found [here](https://iubmb.qmul.ac.uk/enzyme/history.html). There are few notable resources providing access to the Enzyme Nomenclature: <table class="table table-striped"><thead><tr><th>Website</th><th>Homepage</td><th>Notes</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ExplorEnz</td><td><a href="https://www.enzyme-database.org">https://www.enzyme-database.org</a></td><td>This is the resource officially recommended by IUBMB</td></tr><tr><td>IUBMB (via by Queen Mary)</td><td><a href="https://iubmb.qmul.ac.uk/enzyme">https://iubmb.qmul.ac.uk/enzyme</a></td><td>This is a web-based version of the <a href="https://archive.org/details/enzymenomenclatu0000inte_d6c2">1992 publication</a>.</td></tr><tr><td>IntEnz</td><td><a href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/intenz">https://www.ebi.ac.uk/intenz</a></td><td>Shutdown in 2024</td></tr><tr><td>ExPaSy</td><td><a href="https://enzyme.expasy.org">https://enzyme.expasy.org</a></td></tr><tr><td>EnzymePortal</td><td><a href="https://www.ebi.ac.uk/enzymeportal">https://www.ebi.ac.uk/enzymeportal</a></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table>

The European Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (ECACC) is one of four Culture Collections of Public Health England. We supply authenticated and quality controlled cell lines, nucleic acids and induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs).

The Electrocardiography (ECG) Ontology is a Driving Biological Project of the NCBO. The ECG Ontology will contain terms for describing electrocardiograms, their capture method(s) and their waveforms.

Echinobase supports the international research community by providing a centralized, integrated and easy to use web based resource to access the diverse and rich, functional genomics data of echinoderm species.

The ECMDB is an expertly curated database containing extensive metabolomic data and metabolic pathway diagrams about Escherichia coli (strain K12, MG1655). This database includes significant quantities of “original” data compiled by members of the Wishart laboratory as well as additional material derived from hundreds of textbooks, scientific journals, metabolic reconstructions and other electronic databases. Each metabolite is linked to more than 100 data fields describing the compound, its ontology, physical properties, reactions, pathways, references, external links and associated proteins or enzymes.

EcoCyc is a scientific database for the bacterium Escherichia coli K-12 MG1655. The EcoCyc project performs literature-based curation of its genome, and of transcriptional regulation, transporters, and metabolic pathways.

EcoLexicon represents the conceptual structure of the specialized domain of the Environment in the form of a visual thesaurus. This thesaurus has been elaborated according to the theoretical premises of Frame-Based Terminology.

Coverage of the terminology appearing in JMLA was extended with terms from MeSH, NCI Thesaurus (NCI), Emtree, the HTA Database Canadian Repository [international repository for health technology assessment], and Robert Sandieson's synonym ring for research synthesis. Collected terms were enriched with terms from the NCI Metathesaurus. Variants include synonyms for preferred terms, singular and plural forms, and American and British spellings. Definitions, if they exist, are mainly from MeSH, NCI, Emtree, and medical dictionaries.

An ontology to describe legislation, based on the FRBR model, that encodes the ELI metadata fields.

The European Language Social Science Thesaurus (ELSST) is a broad-based, multilingual thesaurus for the social sciences. It is owned and published by the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA) and its national Service Providers. The thesaurus consists of over 3,000 concepts and covers the core social science disciplines: politics, sociology, economics, education, law, crime, demography, health, employment, information and communication technology and, increasingly, environmental science.

EMAPA identifiers refer to developmental stage-independent mouse anatomical features, for instance, EMAPA:35178 resolves to the MGI's Mouse Developmental Anatomy Browser. EMAPS is an extension to EMAPA which introduces terms for different developmental stages of this generic EMAPA entry. EMAPS identifiers are constructed such that they are a concatenation of the EMAPA ID and a Theiler Stage (TS) number. For instance, EMAPA:35178 in TS 23 becomes EMAPS:3517823

The Electron Microscopy (EM) Glossary is a widespread community effort to harmonize terminology in the electron and ion microscopies. It is created in a not-for profit collaboration between academic and non-university research institutions including domain and metadata experts. It provides harmonized terminology for application level semantic artifacts to source from and align with. [from homepage]
