OntoBee AberOWL OLS BioPortal Bioregistry

The Ontology for General Medical Science (OGMS) is based on the papers Toward an Ontological Treatment of Disease and Diagnosis and On Carcinomas and Other Pathological Entities. The ontology attempts to address some of the issues raised at the Workshop on Ontology of Diseases (Dallas, TX) and the Signs, Symptoms, and Findings Workshop(Milan, Italy). OGMS was formerly called the clinical phenotype ontology. Terms from OGMS hang from the Basic Formal Ontology. See http://ontology.buffalo.edu/medo/Disease_and_Diagnosis.pdf

Description
Multiple ontologies using OGMS terms, such as the Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI), Relation Ontology (RO), Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO), Representation of Social Entities (OMRSE), and Mental Disease Ontology (MFOMD). OGMS has been extended to create various OBO ontologies, including the IDO and its extensions, as well as the OMRSE, MFOMD, Oral Health and Disease ontology (OHD), and Cardiovascular Disease Ontology (CVDO).
