The symptom ontology was designed around the guiding concept of a symptom being: “A perceived change in function, sensation or appearance reported by a patient indicative of a disease”. Understanding the close relationship of Signs and Symptoms, where Signs are the objective observation of an illness, the Symptom Ontology will work to broaden it’s scope to capture and document in a more robust manor these two sets of terms. Understanding that at times, the same term may be both a Sign and a Symptom. The Symptom Ontology is available under CC0 license (https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/).
The OBO Foundry has recently created a topics page at https://github.com/topics/obofoundry. It would be great if you could add the obofoundry topic to your repository, since it's currently listed as active in the OBO Foundry. If you're not sure how to do that, follow the instructions here. The main issue for this task is at https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/issues/1538 in case you want some more context or to join the larger discussion.
