Description: |
The bio-zen ontology is an ontology for the life sciences. In its current version, it is focussed on the representation and mathematical modelling of molecular structures, biochemical and physiological processes and interaction networks.
bio-zen is based on foundational ontologies and metadata standards (DOLCE, SKOS, Dublin Core). bio-zen is unique in that it unifies a high degree of ontological consistency with a maximum of flexibility and simplicity in its design.
A large collection of extensions is available (e.g. extensions containing concepts from the Gene Ontology, Medical Subject Headings, Cell Ontology, Evidence Codes, Chemical Entities of Biological Interest, Sequence Ontology, NCBI Taxonomy). |
