PATO Resource Report Resource Website 10+ mentions |
PATO (RRID:SCR_004782) | PATO | data or information resource, ontology, controlled vocabulary | 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). | plant trait, mammalian, phenotype, obo, quality, phenotypic quality |

Zebrafish Anatomical Ontology Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Zebrafish Anatomical Ontology (RRID:SCR_005887) | ZFA | data or information resource, ontology, controlled vocabulary | 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. | anatomy, structure, anatomical structure, obo |
