WHAT USERS SAY

The Semantic Systems Biology group at NTNU has been a regular user of BioPortal
for many years. BioPortal has been very helpful as a resource for identifying
and downloading ontologies most suitable for our projects.  In a complementary
way, we have also used BioPortal for disseminating application ontologies
developed in our group: the Cell Cycle Ontology (CCO), the Gene Expression
Ontology (GeXO), the Regulation of Gene Expression Ontology (ReXO) and the
Regulation of Transcription Ontology (ReTO). We are honestly grateful to all the
members of the BioPortal team for the continuous support they provide to the
research community.

Vladimir Mironov Norwegian University of Science and Technology


I rely on BioPortal for easy access to SNOMED and a number of other
terminologies, particularly for when I just want to check the existence of
specific terms. I love having a one-stop shop to find just about any ontology I
might need.

Jessie Tenenbaum Duke University


When teaching on the role and importance of structured and standardized data,
BioPortal is an indispensible reference. It demonstrates the sheer size and
number of ontologies, and the cross-ontology search helps to appreciate gaps,
overlaps and target areas of and between ontologies. The annotator, mappings,
and SPARQL endpoint help to provide insight in the potentials and challenges of
building and using the linked open data cloud in the domain of healthcare and
life sciences.

Ronald Cornet Amsterdam UMC


I’m using BioPortal to browse and search different ontologies and vocabularies
such as NDF-RT and SNOMED CT. I find codes for terms and restrictions on terms
and I then copy them into clinical guideline representations so that I can use
standard terminologies.

Mor Peleg University of Haifa


I am an ontology developer and often ontology consumer. The BioPortal web site
and ontology repository are my go to place for both sharing ontologies and
finding other’s ontologies relevant to my work in computational biology. In
addition, I have used the excellent web API to do automated search and
retrievals in the BioPortal repository for annotation of a variety of types of
documents.

James Sluka Indiana University


The Neuroscience Information Framework and dkNet awards greatly benefitted from
the good work at BioPortal. When building our ontologies, NIF always had the
philosophy of reuse, a FAIR before the term was coined. However, reuse
presupposes that the things you want to reuse are indeed findable, accessible
and interoperable. BioPortal makes all submitted terminologies, including our
own, FAIR and thus has helped to shape the ontology community. Thank you!
