Technology: Ontology Library

NCBO aids investigators in biomedical research by developing open source tools to enhance access to and analysis of biomedical data and knowledge. BioPortal – a Web-based application and sharing biomedical ontologies – is just one of many tools that NCBO offers.

Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC
The ORNL Distributed Active Archive Center for Biogeochemical Dynamics, sponsored by NASA, holds nearly 1,000 datasets focused on terrestrial ecology and environmental processes. It also provides subsetting and visualization services for over 60 TB of land products from the MODIS satellite. The ORNL DAAC hosts an instance of BioPortal populated with community ontologies for the Earth Sciences.
