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.

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]

A classification of subjects in Hochschule (universities of applied sciences)

A controlled vocbualry of higher education resource types

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]

MITE (Minimum Information about a Tailoring Enzyme) is a data repository and associated data standard designed to capture the reaction- and substrate-specificities of tailoring enzymes. Community-driven and fully expert-reviewed, it represents enzymatic reactions using reaction SMARTS and links to established resources such as UniProt, NCBI GenPept, Rhea, and MIBiG. MITE serves as a knowledgebase for enzyme and pathway annotation, in silico biosynthesis, and machine learning applications.

The gEAR portal is a website for visualization and analysis of multi-omic data both in public and private domains.

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".

An ontology that permits the number of in-text citations of a cited source to be recorded, together with their textual citation contexts, along with the number of citations a cited entity has received globally on a particular date.

An ontology meant to define bibliographic records, bibliographic references, and their compilation into bibliographic collections and bibliographic lists, respectively.

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.

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]

This ontology is based on the SSN Ontology by the W3C Semantic Sensor Networks Incubator Group (SSN-XG), together with considerations from the W3C/OGC Spatial Data on the Web Working Group.

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.

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.

Ontologies that aim to provide semantic specifications for units of measure, quantity kind, dimensions and data types.

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

Bioschemas aims to improve the Findability on the Web of life sciences resources such as datasets, software, and training materials. It does this by encouraging people in the life sciences to use Schema.org markup in their websites so that they are indexable by search engines and other services. Bioschemas encourages the consistent use of markup to ease the consumption of the contained markup across many sites. This structured information then makes it easier to discover, collate, and analyse distributed resources. [from BioSchemas.org]

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.

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.

The Data Privacy Vocabulary provides an ontology (classes and properties) and taxonomies of concepts to represent information regarding how personal data is processed in the form of an ontology or a knowledge graph.

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.

A RDF vocabulary for OER content on the web.

Use this database to browse the CMECS classification and to get definitions for individual CMECS Units. This database contains the units that were published in the Coastal and Marine Ecological Classification Standard.

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]
