The Ontology for Biomedical Investigations (OBI) addresses the need for controlled vocabularies to support integration and joint ("cross-omics") analysis of experimental data, a need originally identified in the transcriptomics domain by the FGED Society, which developed the MGED Ontology as an annotation resource for microarray data. Smith et al. (2007) Nature Biotechnology 25, 1251–55 (2007) OBI uses the basic formal ontologyBasic Formal Ontology (BFO) | Home upper-level ontology as a means of describing general entities that do not belong to a specific problem domain. As such, all OBI classes are a subclass of some BFO class. J Biomed Semantics. 2010.
