This is very true. However, if there is already an existing ontology that matches the input data well (e.g. the NCI Thesaurus in case of Tissue Microarray Annotations in TMAD (http://tma.stanford.edu/) .. then its possible to use the annotator tool at NCBO (http://bioportal.bioontology.org/annotate).

I notice that EFO is accessible through BioPortal. As the Neurolex group is in the process of updating NIFSTD, perhaps the new version of NIFSTD may also be made accessible through BioPortal when it's ready.

Thanks,
