OntoBrowser
Project details
Released 3/23/2015
The OntoBrowser tool was developed to manage ontologies and code lists. The primary goal of the tool is to provide an online collaborative solution for expert curators to map code list terms (sourced from multiple systems/databases) to preferred ontology terms. Other key features include visualisation of ontologies in hierarchical/graph format, advanced search capabilities, peer review/approval workflow and web service access to data.
