LexGrid (RRID:SCR_006627) | LexGrid | software resource | LexGrid (Lexical Grid) provides support for a distributed network of lexical resources such as terminologies and ontologies via standards-based tools, storage formats, and access/update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid Vision is for a distributed network of terminological resources. It is the foundation of the National Center for Biomedical Ontology BioPortal interface and web-services, and can parse OBO format, as well as other formats such as OWL. Currently, there are many terminologies and ontologies in existence. Just about every terminology has its own format, its own set of tools, and its own update mechanisms. The only thing that most of these pieces have in common with each other is their incompatibility. This makes it very hard to use these resources to their full potential. We have designed the Lexical Grid as a way to bridge terminologies and ontologies with a common set of tools, formats and update mechanisms. The Lexical Grid is: * accessible through a set of common APIs * joined through shared indices * online accessible * downloadable * loosely coupled * locally extendable * globally revised * available in web-space on web-time * cross-linked The realization of this vision requires three interlocking components, which are: * Standards - access methods and formats need to be published and openly available * Tools - standards based tools must be readily available * Content - commonly used terminologies have to be available for access and download Platform: Windows compatible, Mac OS X compatible, Linux compatible, Unix compatible | software library, parse, ontology |

Teleost Anatomy Ontology (RRID:SCR_001610) | TAO | data or information resource, ontology, controlled vocabulary | A multi-species anatomy ontology for teleost fishes. It was originally seeded from ZFA, but covers terms relevant to other taxa. The TAO uses terms from the Common Anatomy Reference Ontology (CARO) as a template for its upper level nodes, and the Vertebrate Skeletal Anatomy Ontology (VSAO) for general skeletal anatomy classes. Growth of the TAO is enabled by contributions from data curators and the ichthyological community. The TAO can be browsed by using the NCBO BioPortal and data annotated using TAO terms can be queried using the Phenoscape Knowedgebase. | homology, anatomy, morphology, fish, obo, organismal, zebrafish anatomy |

Bioassay Ontology Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Bioassay Ontology (RRID:SCR_002638) | BAO | data or information resource, ontology, controlled vocabulary | Ontology to describe and categorize chemical biology and drug screening assays and their results including high-throughput screening (HTS) data for the purpose of categorizing assays and data analysis. BAO is an extensible, knowledge-based, highly expressive (currently SHOIQ(D)) description of biological assays making use of descriptive logic based features of the Web Ontology Language (OWL). BAO currently has over 700 classes and also makes use of several other ontologies. It describes several concepts related to biological screening, including Perturbagen, Format, Meta Target, Design, Detection Technology, and Endpoint. Perturbagens are perturbing agents that are screened in an assay; they are mostly small molecules. Assay Meta Target describes what is known about the biological system and / or its components interrogated in the assay (and influenced by the Perturbagen). Meta target can be directly described as a molecular entity (e.g. a purified protein or a protein complex), or indirectly by a biological process or event (e.g. phosphorylation). Format describes the biological or chemical features common to each test condition in the assay and includes biochemical, cell-based, organism-based, and variations thereof. The assay Design describes the assay methodology and implementation of how the perturbation of the biological system is translated into a detectable signal. Detection Technology relates to the physical method and technical details to detect and record a signal. Endpoints are the final HTS results as they are usually published (such as IC50, percent inhibition, etc). BAO has been designed to accommodate multiplexed assays. All main BAO components include multiple levels of sub-categories and specification classes, which are linked via object property relationships forming an expressive knowledge-based representation. | chemical biology, drug screening, assay, perturbation, high-throughput screening, owl |
