Tools for developers

Here you can find tools for

  • creation, validation and management of ontologies;
  • data curation, FAIR principle realisation and semantic annotation;
  • ontology lookup services in various science domains.

Generic tools for data annotation

  • DCTERMS: Up-to-date, authoritative specification of all metadata terms maintained by the Dublin Core™ Metadata Initiative
  • DCAT: Data Catalogue is an RDF vocabulary designed to facilitate interoperability between data catalogues published on the Web.
  • PROV-O: Provides a set of classes, properties, and restrictions that can be used to represent and interchange provenance information generated in different systems and under different contexts. It can be aligned with Basic Formal Ontology.
  • REPRODUCEME: The REPRODUCE-ME is an OWL2 ontology to describe a complete path of a scientific experiment.
  • Quickgraph: Advanced annotation application built to produce high-quality training data for knowledge graph extraction from text-based content
  • OOPS: (OntOlogy Pitfall Scanner!) is a web-based tool designed to detect potential pitfalls that could lead to modelling errors.
  • FOOPS: FOOPS! (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable Ontology Pitfall Scanner) is a web-based tool designed to assess the compliance of vocabularies or ontologies against the FAIR principles.

Basic Formal Ontology tools for data annotation

  • OBO: Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) provide a suite of high-quality, interoperable, free and open-source tools for sharing scientific knowledge and making new discoveries.
  • Information Artifact Ontology (BFO and OBO based): The Information Artifact Ontology (IAO) is an ontology of information entities, originally driven by work by the OBI digital entity and realizable information entity branch.
