HumanDiseaseOntology

Repository for the Human Disease Ontology (DO).

Announcements

• LIVE as of the May 2024 release -- The prefix for OMIM cross-references and susceptibilities is now 'MIM', not 'OMIM', in the Human Disease Ontology. For details refer to #1301.

• LIVE as of the July 2024 release -- Acronyms are now annotated in the DO. For background information refer to information-artifact-ontology/ontology-metadata#135. Note: Acronyms retain their synonym scope (exact, narrow, etc.). This is an additional annotation using owl:Axiom, oboInOwl:hasSynonymType and the new synonym type OMO:0003012 (acronym), e.g.

<owl:Axiom>
	<owl:annotatedSource rdf:resource="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/DOID_0040093"/>
	<owl:annotatedProperty rdf:resource="http://www.geneontology.org/formats/oboInOwl#hasExactSynonym"/>
	<owl:annotatedTarget xml:lang="en">DIL</owl:annotatedTarget>
	<oboInOwl:hasSynonymType rdf:resource="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/OMO_0003012"/>
</owl:Axiom>

Details

DO OBO and OWL files are available in our GitHub repository. The DO provides both the asserted DO is_a hierarchy and inferred versions of our ontology files. Please review our file README for details.

DO curation and production moved to OWL, git, and GitHub in November 2015. DO's SVN repository on Sourceforge.net has been retired but is still available for historical reference.

A tutorial describing DO's editorial activities is available at: https://github.com/DiseaseOntology/HumanDiseaseOntology/blob/master/src/ontology/README-editors.md
