http://www.evidenceontology.org

A controlled vocabulary that describes types of scientific evidence within the realm of biological research that can arise from laboratory experiments, computational methods, manual literature curation, and other means. Researchers can use these types of evidence to support assertions about research subjects that result from scientific research, such as scientific conclusions, gene annotations, or other statements of fact. ECO comprises two high-level classes, evidence and assertion method, where evidence is defined as a type of information that is used to support an assertion, and assertion method is defined as a means by which a statement is made about an entity. Together evidence and assertion method can be combined to describe both the support for an assertion and whether that assertion was made by a human being or a computer. However, ECO can not be used to make the assertion itself; for that, one would use another ontology, free text description, or other means. ECO was originally created around the year 2000 to support gene product annotation by the Gene Ontology. Today ECO is used by many groups concerned with provenance in scientific research. ECO is used in AmiGO 2

http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/OntoVIP

Ontology that describes the content of the models used in medical image simulation developed in the context of the Virtual Imaging Platform project (VIP), a french project aiming at sharing medical image simulation resources. This ontology can be used to annotate such models in order to highlight the different entities that are present in the 3D scene to be imaged, i.e. anatomical structures, pathological structures, foreign bodies, contrast agents etc. The model allows also to associate to these entities information about their physical qualities, which are used in the medical image simulation process (to mimick physical phenomena involved in CT, MR, US and PET imaging). This ontology partly relies on the OntoNeuroLOG ontology (ONL-DP ONL-MR-DA), as well as PATO, RadLex, FMA and ChEBI.

http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/ONL-MSA

Ontology that is a module of the OntoNeuroLOG ontology that covers the field of mental state assessments, i.e. instruments, instrument variables, assessments, and resulting scores, developed in the context of the NeuroLOG project, a french project aiming at integrating distributed heterogeous resources in neuroimaging. It includes a generic domain core ontology, that provides a general model of such entities and a general taxonomy of behavioural, neurosychological and neuroclinical instruments, that can be easily extended to model any particular kind of instrument. It also includes such extensions for 8 relatively standard instruments, namely: (1) the Beck-depression-inventory-(BDI-II), (2) the Expanded-Disability-Status-Scale, (3) the Controlled-oral-word-association-test, (4) the Free-and-Cued-Selective-Reminding-Test-with-Immediate-Recall-16-item-version-(The-Grober-and-Buschke-test), (5) the Mini-Mental-State, (6) the Stroop-color-and-word-test, (7) the Trail-making-test-(TMT), (8) the Wechsler-Adult-Intelligence-Scale-third-edition, (9) the Clinical-Dementia-Rating-scale, (10) the Category-verbal-fluency, (11) the Rey-Osterrieth-Complex-Figure-Test-(CFT).

http://www.ncbcs.org/biositemaps/

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on April 27,2023. Biositemaps represent a mechanism for computational biologists and bio-informaticians to openly broadcast and retrieve meta-data about biomedical data, tools and services (i.e., biomedical resources) over the Internet. All Institutions with an interest in biomedical research can publish a biositemap.rdf file on their Internet site. The technology, developed by the Biositemaps Working Group of the NIH Roadmap National Centers of Biomedical Computing (NCBC), addresses (i) locating, (ii) querying, (iii) composing or combining, and (iv) mining biomedical resources. Each site which intends to contribute to the inventory instantiates a file on its Internet site biositemap.rdf which conforms to a defined RDF schema and uses concepts from the Biomedical Resource Ontology to describe the resources. Each biositemap.rdf file is simply a list of controlled metadata about resources (software tools, databases, material resources) that your organization uses or believes are important to biomedical research. The key enabling technologies are the Information Model (IM) which is the list of metadata fields about each resource (resource_name, description, contact_person, resource_type,...) and the Biomedical Resource Ontology (BRO) which is a controlled terminology for the resource_typeand which is used to improve the sensitivity and specificity of web searches. Biositemaps blend the features of Sitemaps (enabling efficient web-content exploration) and RSS Feeds (a mechanism for wide and effective news dissemination). As a hybrid between Sitemaps and RSS feeds, the Biositemap infrastructure facilitates a decentralized, portable, extensible and computationally tractable generation and consumption of meta-data about existent, revised and new resources for biomedical computation. Web browsers, crawlers and robots can discover, accumulate, process, integrate and deliver Biositemaps content to (human or machine) users in a variety of graphical, tabular, computational formats. Biositemaps content allows such web browsers to pool resource-associated metadata from disparate and diverse sites and present it to the user in an integrated fashion. The Biositemaps protocol provides clues, information and directives for all Biositemap web harvesters that point to the existence and content of such biomedical resources at different sites.

http://www.rightfield.org.uk/

An open-source tool for adding ontology term selection to Excel spreadsheets. It is used by a "Template Creator" to create semantically aware Excel spreadsheet templates. The Excel templates are then reused by Scientists to collect and annotate their data; without any need to understand, or even be aware of, RightField or the ontologies used. For each annotation field, RightField can specify a range of allowed terms from a chosen ontology (subclasses, individuals or combinations). The resulting spreadsheet presents these terms to the users as a simple drop-down list. This reduces the adoption barrier for using community ontologies as the annotation is made by the scientist that generated the data rather than a third party, and the annotation is collected at the time of data collection. RightField is a standalone Java application which uses Apache-POI for interacting with Microsoft documents. It enables users to import Excel spreadsheets, or generate new ones from scratch. Ontologies can either be imported from their local file systems, or from the BioPortal ontology repository. Individual cells, or whole columns or rows can be marked with the required ranges of ontology terms and an individual spreadsheet can be annotated with terms from multiple ontologies.

http://cogpo.org

Ontology used to describe the experimental conditions within cognitive and behavioral experiments, primarily in humans for application and use in the functional neuroimaging community. CogPO has been developed through the integration of the Functional Imaging Biomedical Informatics Research Network (FBIRN) Human Imaging Database (HID) and the BrainMap Database. The design of CogPO concentrates on what can be observed directly: categorization of each paradigm in terms of (1) the stimulus presented to the subjects, (2) the requested instructions, and (3) the returned response.

http://www.loria.fr/~coulet/sopharm2.0_description.php

A domain ontology implemented in OWL-DL, which proposes a formal description of pharmacogenomic knowledge. It articulates different ontologies that represent complementary sub-domains of pharmacogenomics, i.e. related to genotype, phenotype, drugs, and clinical trials. SO-Pharm enables the representation of pharmacogenomic relationships between a drug, a genomic variation and a phenotype trait. In addition, it enables the representation of a patient and more largely a panel included in trials, and populations. SO-Pharm enables the representation of measured items on patients such as results from the observation of a phenotype trait or of genomic variations. SO-Pharm supports knowledge about pharmacogenomic hypothesis, case study, and investigations in pharmacogenomics. SO-Pharm is designed to facilitate data integration and knowledge discovery in pharmacogenomics. In addition it provides a consistent articulation of ontologies of pharmacogenomic sub-domains.
