BIOASSAYONTOLOGY

BioAssay Ontology (BAO) is created to establish common reference metadata terms and definitions required for describing relevant information of low-and high-throughput drug and probe screening assays and results. The main objectives of BAO are to enable effective integration, aggregation, retrieval, and analyses of drug screening data. BAO is a formal OWL-DL ontology and captures deep knowledge about screening assays and their results enabling classifications that enable data analysis and facilitate meaningful retrieval of screening results.
