OBO foundry
- The OBO Foundry is a collaborative experiment, involving a group of ontology developers who have agreed in advance to the adoption of a growing set of principles specifying best practices in ontology development. These principles are designed to foster interoperability of ontologies within the broader OBO framework, and also to ensure a gradual improvement of quality and formal rigor in ontologies, in ways designed to meet the increasing needs of data and information integration in the biomedical domain.

OBO Ontologies
- Open Biomedical Ontologies is an umbrella web address for well-structured controlled vocabularies for shared use across different biological and medical domains.
-
Gene Ontology
- The GO Consortium provides structured, controlled vocabularies and classifications that cover several domains of molecular biology and are freely available for community use in the annotation of genes, gene products, and sequences.

An Introduction to OBO Ontologies
- OBO ontologies are similar to description logic ontologies like the ones described by OWL or DAML+OIL. However, OBO ontologies are designed for the needs of the biological community, and thus have some unique (and sometimes unexpected) qualities. The OBO format provides the ability to track a large amount of meta-data, and includes mechanisms for some basic history auditing. The OBO format does not include all the features of OWL or DAML+OIL, and sometimes uses different semantics for features that - on the surface - seem to be identical to features of a description logic.
