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:
“A multitude of little superfluous precautions engender here a population of deputies and sub-officials, each of whom acquits himself with an air of importance and a rigorous precision, which seemed to say, though everything is done with much silence, “Make way, I am one of the members of the grand machine of state.””
—Marquis De Custine (1790–1857)
