Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO)

Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) are a collection of standardized, formal vocabularies used to organize and share biomedical information consistently. They define key concepts like diseases, genes, and biological processes, along with their relationships. This structured system helps researchers, clinicians, and developers communicate clearly, integrate data efficiently, and advance understanding in fields like medicine and biology. By providing open, interoperable terms, OBO supports data sharing and collaboration across different systems and studies, promoting more accurate and connected biomedical research.
