The National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) is pleased to announce the release of BioPortal 2.0 — a Web-based application that serves as a “one-stop shop” for accessing and sharing biomedical ontologies. Users can browse and explore individual ontologies by navigating either a tree structure or an animated graphical view. Users also can upload, download, search, comment on, and create mappings for ontologies.
New features in BioPortal 2.0 include:
· Full ontology navigation using Flash visualization · Web-service access to BioPortal content and capabilities, which enables developers to use our BioPortal services in their tools. · Multiple ontology navigation, which enables users to have several ontologies opened simultaneously in different tabs in the user interface · Ability to add Marginal Notes to classes in BioPortal ontologies, a feature that enables the community to comment on ontologies and to discuss their contents · Ability to create Point to Point Mappings between concepts in · different BioPortal ontologies · Bulk export of ontology-to-ontology mappings in RDF format · Navigation of multiple ontologies, which enables users to have several ontologies opened simultaneously in different tabs in the user interface · URIs for all ontology content, which enable developers to access and share BioPortal content from their applications · Improved support through Protégé for ontologies in OWL format · Access to BioPortal contents and capabilities through REST services, enabling developers to integrate BioPortal functionality in their applications Please take a look at the new BioPortal 2.0!
