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! You can access it at
