Supporting users with data annotation - Zooma

ZOOMA

ZOOMA supports the discovery of optimal ontology annotations based on real, manually reviewed data. Based on free text terms, ZOOMA finds possible ontology mappings in the ZOOMA repository of curated annotation knowledge.

ZOOMA provides ranked, detailed and context specific ontology annotations that best suit the data being annotated. As part of the work done in BioMedBridges, several new sets of annotations and ontologies have been added to ZOOMA based on manual curation of phenotype mappings. Using manual and automatic annotation approaches, an enriched dataset was produced linking gene and variation data to a controlled set of phenotypes from existing ontologies, facilitating integration and richer querying within BioMedBridges and other projects. The mapped phenotypes are available publicly in ZOOMA.
