Find open-source science resources

The Getty Iconography Authority ™ (IA), Cultural Objects Name Authority ® (CONA), the Union List of Artist Names ® (ULAN), the Art & Architecture Thesaurus ® (AAT), the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names ® (TGN) are structured resources that can be used to improve access to information about art, architecture, and other material culture. The Vocabularies are not simply 'value vocabularies,' but knowledge bases. Through rich metadata and links, the Getty Vocabularies provide powerful conduits for knowledge creation, complex research, and discovery for digital art history and related disciplines.

The Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN) is a structured vocabulary, including names, descriptions, and other metadata for extant and historical cities, empires, archaeological sites, and physical features important to research of art and architecture. TGN may be linked to GIS (Geographical Information System), maps, and other geographic resources. [from https://collectionstrust.org.uk/resource/thesaurus-of-geographic-names-tgn-getty/]

The General Formal Ontology is a top-level ontology for conceptual modeling, which is being constantly further developed by Onto-Med. It includes elaborations of categories like objects, processes, time and space, properties, relations, roles, functions, facts, and situations. Moreover, we are working on an integration with the notion of levels of reality in order to more appropriately capture entities in the material, mental, and social areas.

MedlinePlus Genetics contains detailed information about the effects of genetic variation on human health, covering more than 1,300 genetic conditions and 1,400 genes, all of the human chromosomes, and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA).

A database to support glycobiology and glycomics research. Its main focus is on 3D structures, including 3D structure models as well as references to PDB entries that feature carbohydrates.

The Gmelin database is a large database of organometallic and inorganic compounds updated quarterly. It is based on the German publication Gmelins Handbuch der anorganischen Chemie which was originally published by Leopold Gmelin in 1817; the last print edition, the 8th, appeared in the 1990s.

The Genome Aggregation Database (gnomAD) is a resource developed by an international coalition of investigators, with the goal of aggregating and harmonizing both exome and genome sequencing data from a wide variety of large-scale sequencing projects, and making summary data available for the wider scientific community (from https://gnomad.broadinstitute.org).

GNPS is a web-based mass spectrometry ecosystem that aims to be an open-access knowledge base for community-wide organization and sharing of raw, processed, or annotated fragmentation mass spectrometry data (MS/MS)

This describes the metadata schema for the Gene Product Information (GPI) files in the Gene Ontology, i.e., the local unique identifiers in this identifier space refer to the columns in GPI files.

GO-Causal Activity Models (GO-CAMs) use a defined “grammar” for linking multiple GO annotations into larger models of biological function (such as “pathways”) in a semantically structured manner. GO-CAMs are created by expert biocurators from the GO Consortium, using the Noctua Curation Platform.

A database-specific registry supporting curation in the Gene Ontology

A GO annotation is a statement about the function of a particular gene. Each annotation includes an evidence code to indicate how the annotation to a particular term is supported.
