2. TermGenie Demo

• A tool for creating new ontology terms for either GO (Gene Ontology) or OBA (Ontology of Biological Attributes). It uses a pattern-based approach to rapidly generate new terms and place them appropriately within the ontology structure. All terms are reviewed by a senior editor before the final commit to the ontology.

• Two instances of TermGenie exist: for OBA and GO:
  • TermGenie GO

• • TermGenie OBA

• Citation: TermGenie - a web-application for pattern-based ontology class generation
