Enhanced interoperability of biological databases by standardisation of biochemical terminology and introduction of a shared ontology (BIOBABEL)

Objective

The Bio Babel project will combine the different strengths of European groups working on various aspects of standardisation of biochemical terminology in databases to develop and implement controlled vocabulary and a common ontology to describe biological attributes in biological databases. This will allow users to do complex queries across databases in a much simpler way by enhancing database interoperability, The Bio Babel partners will introduce the standardised demonology in all the databases they produce and maintain. Accessing these then highly interoperable sequence databases, genomic databases, protein motif databases, enzyme databases and nomenclature databases will allow researchers to infer knowledge about the structure and function of genes and proteins and to relate these to the existing corpus of scientific knowledge.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.
