Development Workflow

The development of the PBPK ontology leverages the ROBOT (ROBOT is an OBO Tool) framework, which provides powerful tools for ontology development, including ontology merging, reasoning, and template-based term generation.

Imported Ontologies

1. Uberon : A multi-species anatomy ontology covering anatomical structures in animals.
2. IAO : Provides terms for representing information entities.
3. OBCS : Supports biobanking and clinical research.
4. GO : Describes gene functions and processes in a species-independent manner.

PBPK terms vocabulary

PBPK terms are available in ROBOT template
