Open Interoperability Standards, Tools and Services at EMBL-EBI

Webinar Summary

Ontologies and Semantic Web technologies play an important role in the life sciences to help make data more interoperable and reusable. EMBL-EBI contributes to the development of biomedical ontologies and makes extensive use of them in the annotation of public datasets especially for large-scale data integration efforts. There is an increasing recognition for the role of ontologies in making data Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable (FAIR).

 

The ontologies team (https://www.ebi.ac.uk/spot/ontology/) at EMBL-EBI provide a suite of services to make ontologies more accessible for both humans and machines. We work with scientific data curators and software developers to integrate ontologies and semantics into both the data generation and data presentation workflows. We provide:

  • An ontology lookup service (OLS) for search and visualisation of over 200 ontologies
  • Services for automating and predicting the annotation of data with ontologies (Zooma)
  • An ontology mapping and alignment service (OxO)
  • Tools for generating ontologies from spreadsheets (Webulous)
  • Software for enriching documents in search engines to support semantic search

 

This webinar will present how we are using these services at EMBL-EBI to scale up the annotation of data and deliver added value through ontologies and semantics to our users.
