Genomics Cohorts Knowledge Ontology
NOTE: This is work in progress.
An ontology to represent genomics cohort attributes. The GECKO is maintained by the CINECA project, https://www.cineca-project.eu, and standardises attributes commonly used for genomics cohort description as well as individual-level data items. A series of tools is being developed to enable automated generation of harmonised data files based on a JSON schema mapping file. For more information please contact info@cineca-project.eu
GECKO currently has two products:
gecko.owl: the OBO version of GECKOviews/ihcc-gecko.owl: a view developed for International HundredK+ Cohorts Consortium
While the OBO view of GECKO conforms to OBO priniciples and reuses classes from upper-level ontologies such as BFO, the IHCC view rearranges the core GECKO terms (including some imported, lower-level terms) and groups them into 5 categories. The labels in the IHCC view are not the rdfs:label from the OBO version, but come from the "IHCC browser label" annotation property.
