GO Rules are a way of documenting the set of filters and reports that should apply to GAF annotation data. Some rules are expressed as SPARQL on a triplestore, some are code in the GAF parsing software, ontobio.

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 EVORAO Ontology provides a structured and harmonized vocabulary for describing shareable pathogens as characterized biological materials, along with their derived products and associated services, organized into collections. Developed within the EVORA project, it supports consistent metadata annotation across research infrastructures, promoting findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR). By aligning with relevant standards and ontologies, EVORAO facilitates cross-domain collaboration, integration, and sharing of pathogenic resources and services to enhance pandemic preparedness and response. While initially focused on virology, EVORAO is designed to be extensible and also supports metadata harmonization for other pathogens. [from repository]

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.

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

An international LGBTQ+ linked data vocabulary

The FRBR-aligned Bibliographic Ontology (FaBiO) is an ontology for describing entities that are published or potentially publishable (e.g., journal articles, conference papers, books), and that contain or are referred to by bibliographic references.

An ontology that enables the metadata properties of the DataCite Metadata Schema Specification (i.e., a list of metadata properties for the accurate and consistent identification of a resource for citation and retrieval purposes) to be described in RDF.

An ontology that provides a structured vocabulary written of document components, both structural (e.g., block, inline, paragraph, section, chapter) and rhetorical (e.g., introduction, discussion, acknowledgements, reference list, figure, appendix).

An ontology that enables characterization of the nature or type of citations, both factually and rhetorically.

The Ontology of Immune Epitopes (ONTIE) is an effort to represent terms in the immunology domain in a formal ontology with the specific goal of representing experiments that identify and characterize immune epitopes.

NFDI-MatWerk aims to establish a digital infrastructure for Materials Science and Engineering (MSE), fostering improved data sharing and collaboration. This repository provides comprehensive documentation for NFDI MatWerk Ontology (MWO) v3.0.0, a foundational framework designed to structure research data and enhance interoperability within the MSE community. To ensure compliance with top-level ontology standards, MWO v3.0.0 is aligned with the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) and incorporates the modular approach of the NFDIcore mid-level ontology, enriching metadata through standardized classes and properties. The mwo addresses key aspects of MSE research data, including the NFDI-MatWerk community structure, covering task areas, infrastructure use cases, projects, researchers, and organizations. It also describes essential NFDI resources, such as software, workflows, ontologies, publications, datasets, metadata schemas, instruments, facilities, and educational materials. Additionally, mwo represents NFDI-MatWerk services, academic events, courses, and international collaborations. As the foundation for the MSE Knowledge Graph, mwo facilitates efficient data integration and retrieval, promoting collaboration and knowledge representation across MSE domains. This digital transformation enhances data discoverability, reusability, and accelerates scientific exchange, innovation, and discoveries by optimizing research data management and accessibility.

The submission-centric metadata schema for the German Human Genome-Phenome Archive (GHGA).

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]

Terms for genes, experimental factors, and cell lines used by the [Gemma platform](https://gemma.msl.ubc.ca/home.html) for differential gene expression analysis.

Ontology, part of the SI Reference Point, covering measurement units (SI base units and SI units with special names) and prefixes.

The Semantic Mapping Vocabulary provides and defines terms used for creating and maintaining semantic mappings, in particular mapping metadata.

SSSOM is a Simple Standard for Sharing Ontological Mappings, providing - a TSV-based representation for ontology term mappings - a comprehensive set of standard metadata elements to describe mappings and - a standard translation between the TSV and the Web Ontology Language (OWL). Most metadata elements, such as "sssom:mapping_justification" are defined in the sssom namespace.

A vocabulary for describing semantic assets, defined as highly reusable metadata (e.g. XML1 schemata, generic data models) and reference data (e.g. code lists, taxonomies, dictionaries, vocabularies).

A representation of variables appearing in models in the environmental research space.

The Chromosome Ontology is an automatically derived ontology of chromosomes and chromosome parts.

The Simplified Upper Level Ontology (SULO) is ontology with a minimal set of classes and relations to guide the development of a personal health knowledge graph. [from homepage]

The EMI ontology is used to structure spectrum annotation provenance by reusing the PROV-O ontology (a W3C recommendation) and sample and observation data by applying the SOSA ontology. EMI reuses the SOSA ontology as a data schema for struturing the Sample and Observation data. SOSA (Sensor, Observation, Sample, and Actuator) is a subset of SSN (Semantic Sensor Network Ontology) that is a W3C recommendation. [from homepage]

The Context and Measurement Ontology (COMO) contains ontological terms to describe the context for various types of experimental data and measurements. It is useful in its current state for several different environmental microbiology projects. This ontology is used in multiple CORAL (Contextual Ontology-based Repository Analysis Library) deployments.
