+ OBO is an open community and, by joining the initiative, the + authors of an ontology commit to its maintenance in light of + scientific advance and to working with other members to + ensure the improvement of these principles over time. The + OBO Foundry is an attempt to apply the scientific method to + the task of ontology development, and the scientific method + rests on constant criticism and on the assumption that no + resource will ever exist in a form in which it cannot be + further improved. +
++ The current list of OBO Foundry Principles are listed on + the OBO Foundry + Wiki: +
++ Note that as of July 2011, every principle has its own unique identifier. The principles are divided into two categories: +
+ To comment on, or ask questions about, any of these + principles please send e-mail to + the + + OBO discussion list. + . +
++ The Generic Model Organism Project (GMOD) is a joint effort by the model organism system databases WormBase, FlyBase, MGI, SGD, Gramene, Rat Genome Database, EcoCyc, and TAIR to develop reusable components suitable for creating new community databases of biology. +
++ The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) project is developing an integrated ontology for the description of biological and medical experiments and investigations. This ontology will support the consistent annotation of biomedical investigations, regardless of the particular field of study. +
++ The Institute for Formal Ontology and Medical Information Science + (IFOMIS) comprehends an interdisciplinary research group with members + from Philosophy, Computer and Information Science, Logic, Medicine, + and Medical Informatics, focusing on theoretically grounded research + in both formal and applied ontology. +
++ The Microarray Gene Expression Data (MGED) Society is an international organisation of biologists, computer scientists, and data analysts that aims to facilitate the sharing of microarray data generated by functional genomics and proteomics experiments. +
++ The Ontology Lookup Service is a spin-off of the PRIDE project, which required a centralized query interface for ontology and controlled vocabulary lookup. While many of the ontologies queriable by the OLS are available online, each has its own query interface and output format. The OLS provides a web service interface to query multiple ontologies from a single location with a unified output format. +
++ The Plant Ontology Consortium (POC) aims to develop, curate and share structured controlled vocabularies (ontologies) that describe plant structures and growth/developmental stages. Through this effort, the project aims to facilitate cross database querying by fostering consistent use of these vocabularies in the annotation of tissue and/or growth stage specific expression of genes, proteins and phenotypes. +
++ Is also interested in guidelines for the development of Controlled Vocabularies. +
++ SOFG is both a meeting and a website; it aims to bring together biologists, bioinformaticians, and computer scientists who are developing and using standards and ontologies with an emphasis on describing high-throughput functional genomics experiments. +
