ISA Software and ISA Commons - Standards-Driven Biocuration in Action
“Our job is to contribute to the realization of the data sharing vision, by empowering scientists to take data management and sharing into their own hands and minimizing the curation effort. The NCBO BioPortal helps us to serve actionable ontologies to our users, shielding them from the underlying complexities." More > Dr. Susanna-Assunta Sansone, Eamonn Maguire and Dr. Philippe Rocca-Serra

Data Management and Integration in the Biological Sciences
Simon Twigger, PhD
Assistant Professor
Medical College of Wisconsin
Cross-domain data integration for decision support in life sciences and healthcare
“Being able to directly import and merge ontologies via NCBO's web services, rather than building them from scratch, has been invaluable in semantically integrating research, public, and clinical data to formal concepts." More > Dr. Erich A. Gombocz
Vice President, Chief Scientific Officer
IO Informatics, Inc.
Understanding the Molecular Causes of Genetic Diseases and Cancer
“The NCBO Web services have proven to be invaluable for enabling modern bioinformatics research in our group. We use the Annotator service to identify and study concepts present in our datasets and generate new hypotheses, it is very useful." More > Sean Mooney, Ph.D.
Buck Institute for Age Research
Building Models to Help Translational Researchers Test Hypotheses
“Through Interactions with the NCBO I have realized that the development of agent-based modeling is intimately tied to the advances in the ontologies and tools provided by the NCBO via BioPortal.”

Using NCBO Technology to Help Integrate the Diverse Data, Systems, People, and Organizations Needed for Marine Research
“Thanks to its open-source nature, well written code, easy extensibility, and excellent support, BioPortal helped us set up our own deployment, called the MMI Ontology Registry and Repository successfully and in a very short period of time.” More > Duane Edgington, Ph.D.
MMI Principal Investigator
