Phenote - A biomedical annotation tool using ontologies

This wiki page currently serves as the public Phenote project page for posting of materials related to its development. In particular, this will be the site used for announcement and posting of working group agendas and reports/transcripts.

What is Phenote?

Phenote is a software application and open-source toolkit to facilitate annotation of biomedical data using ontologies. It is being driven by its development as a phenotype annotation tool, but is generalizable to any tool to be used for annotation using ontologies.

This is being developed by the Core 2 group with the National Center for Biomedical Ontology.

For more information, please visit the website at phenote.org

Who should be interested in Phenote?

Anyone doing annotation using ontologies. Specifically, anyone doing phenotype annotation such as biocurators affiliated with model organism databases, biological/medical image analysts and ontology developers.
