BioPortal

General Information

BioPortal is a library of biomedical ontologies and terminologies developed in Web Ontology Language (OWL), Resource Description Framework (RDF)(S), Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) format, and Protégé frames and Rich Release Format. BioPortal groups ontologies by domain to aid discoverability and allows users to browse, search and visualize the content of ontologies. BioPortal also provides ontology recommendation, text annotation, ontology mapping, and a reference index to resources like PubMed.
