The information below was derived from an exercise in which participants asked after an ontology that could be used to describe a certain 'thing'. The list is by no means exhaustive; whilst these ontologies exist, these are not endorsements of their appropriateness.
Phenotypes
Organs
- anatomy ontologies, vertebrate ontology, UBERON - cross-species anatomy ontology, VHOG; these both are being integrated to function better, looking at developmental ontologies
- data dictionaries, ontology of tests (ask Tomasz Adamusiak), covered in SNOMED - but this is difficult in a usable form
- there are lots and lots of diseases ontologies, perhaps too many!
- characteristics of samples, depending on species
- meta-application ontology - may come from patient records coding
- Clinical trials ontology, HL7 includes clinical interventions, OBI has recruitment terms
- some ontologies may cover this; join in instead of making your own; link and claim interoperabilities
- MGI of OMIM diseases, currently ongoing work, no formal ontology
- OBI and EFO covers some of this
- Sequence Ontology for NGS
Ontology for neuro-development
- access is limited
- Foundation Model of Anatomy (non-disease), developmental anatomy POV, not a clinical/surgical; UBERON; Cell Type Ontology - combine ontologies to map out cell derivations - GOOD CASE POINT - Ontologies often developed from a POV, might not be that useful for other applications
- Bio-samples, FMA has bodily fluids (Blood, Sweat and Tears Ontology - Bodily Fluids Ontology)
