March 2, 2010: We are currently experiencing periods of instability in BioPortal. We are working to resolve the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience. [close]
Use BioPortal to access and share ontologies that are actively used in biomedical communities. You can search for terms in ontologies (try typing "Melanoma" in the "Search all ontologies" box in the left column), browse a list of ontologies in BioPortal (type "NCI Thesaurus" in the "Find an ontology" box in the middle column), search biomedical resources that we automatically annotated with ontology terms (try typing "Melanoma" in the "Search resources" box in the right column). You can create ontology-based annotations for your own text , link your own project that uses ontologies to the description of those ontologies , find and create relations between terms in different ontologies, review and comment on ontologies and their components as you browse them. Sign in to BioPortal to submit a new ontology or ontology-based project, provide comments on ontologies or add ontology mappings.
