Members of The OBO Foundry (March 2010)
The goal of the OBO Foundry initiative is to create an evolving group of biological and biomedical ontologies which will have the potential to cover a wide range of life science phenomena in a modular fashion. To realize this goal, we have subjected a number of candidate ontologies to a process of review, the first phase of which has now been completed, and the results are reported here. The following six ontologies have satisfied the OBO Foundry principles and are recommended as preferred targets for community convergence.
- CHEBI: Chemical Entities of Biological Interest
- GO: Gene Ontology
- PATO: Phenotypic Quality Ontology
- PRO: Protein Ontology
- XAO: Xenopus Anatomy Ontology
- ZFA: Zebrafish Anatomy Ontology

Famous quotes containing the word members:
“The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
