BioPortal
BioPortal is a Web application to access the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) library. This library contains a large collection of ontologies in biomedicine spanning many species from Arabidopsis to Homo Sapiens, and many scales, from molecules to whole organism. The ontology content includes the ontologies of the model organism communities, biology, chemistry, anatomy, radiology, and medicine.
BioPortal permits users to browse individual ontologies with three browsing paradigms--text, tree-view, and graph view. In addition, it permits search across all or specific ontologies according to term name or attribute content.
BioPortal will soon be providing a suite of tools for developers to integrate its functionality into their own applications, by providing URIs for all ontology content and Web services for accessing BioPortal functionality. It will also be providing tools to enable the community to comment on ontologies and their contents, to align and map them, as well as novel ways to visualize them and use them in applications.
