http://www.informatics.jax.org/searches/MP_form.shtml

Community ontology to provide standard terms for annotating mammalian phenotypic data. It has a hierarchical structure that permits a range of detail from high-level, broadly descriptive terms to very low-level, highly specific terms. This range is useful for annotating phenotypic data to the level of detail known and for searching for this information using either broad or specific terms as search criteria. Your input is welcome.

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh

A controlled vocabulary thesaurus that consists of sets of terms naming descriptors in a hierarchical structure that permits searching at various levels of specificity. MeSH, in machine-readable form, is provided at no charge via electronic means. MeSH descriptors are arranged in both an alphabetic and a hierarchical structure. At the most general level of the hierarchical structure are very broad headings such as Anatomy or Mental Disorders. More specific headings are found at more narrow levels of the twelve-level hierarchy, such as Ankle and Conduct Disorder. There are 27,149 descriptors in 2014 MeSH. There are also over 218,000 entry terms that assist in finding the most appropriate MeSH Heading, for example, Vitamin C is an entry term to Ascorbic Acid. In addition to these headings, there are more than 219,000 headings called Supplementary Concept Records (formerly Supplementary Chemical Records) within a separate thesaurus. The MeSH thesaurus is used by NLM for indexing articles from 5,400 of the world''''s leading biomedical journals for the MEDLINE/PubMED database. It is also used for the NLM-produced database that includes cataloging of books, documents, and audiovisuals acquired by the Library. Each bibliographic reference is associated with a set of MeSH terms that describe the content of the item. Similarly, search queries use MeSH vocabulary to find items on a desired topic.

http://www.obofoundry.org/ontology/pato.html

Ontology of phenotypic qualities, intended for use in a number of applications, primarily defining composite phenotypes and phenotype annotation. The new PATO differs from the old in that the system of attributes and values has been abandoned in favor of a single hierarchy of qualities. PATO is designed to be used in conjunction with ontologies of quality-bearing entities. An example of such an entity is an insect eye (taken from the fly_anatomy ontology), which could be the bearer of the quality ''red'' (PATO:0000322). This combination is the red eye phenotype. We say that the phenotype term is ''post-coordinated'', as it is formed by coordinating two terms together. This is in contrast to ontologies of pre-coordinated phenotypes, such as the Mammalian Phenotype (MP) ontology. PATO is independent of any exchange format or database schema. One way of expressing phenotype annotation using PATO is pheno-syntax, or pheno-xml. They will also post recommendations for representing phenotypes using OWL. All representations share the same basic formal underpinnings, a combination of quality-bearing entity and a quality (the EQ model).

http://www.ifomis.org/bfo

A small, upper level ontology that is designed for use in supporting information retrieval, analysis and integration in scientific and other domains. BFO is a genuine upper integration in scientific and other domains. Thus it does not contain physical, chemical, biological or other terms which would properly fall within the coverage domains of the special sciences.

http://zfin.org/zf_info/anatomy/dict/sum.html

A structured controlled vocabulary of the anatomy and development of the Zebrafish (Danio rerio). It includes a list of structures, organized hierarchically into an ontology, with descriptions of each structure. The current version is being written by a consortium of researchers, each serving as an expert for a particular set of anatomical structures. Additional anatomical information derived from the current literature is provided by the ZFIN curation group. Development of a complete and uniform anatomical ontology for the zebrafish is vital to the success of zebrafish science. The anatomical ontology is necessary for: * Effective data dissemination and informatics. * A reference framework. * Interoperability.

http://www.human-phenotype-ontology.org/

Provides standardized vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities encountered in human disease. Structured and controlled vocabulary for phenotypic features encountered in human hereditary and other disease. HPO is being developed in collaboration with members of OBO Foundry (Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies), and logical definitions for HPO terms are being developed using PATO and a number of other ontologies including FMA, GO, ChEBI, and MPATH.
