Adding a tag ([[App/tag]]) is an easy way to comment on a particular term or to add alternative definitions and spellings (e.g., the plural spelling). There are a number of keywords already in the database: e.g., 'alternative definition' (for different verbal descriptions of the same concept - NOT entirely different definitions, which should have their own entries), 'plural' for plural spellings that are obvious, 'remove' (terms you think should go into other ontologies), 'comment.' Simply click the 'Tag' link under 'functions' on the left. The light red overlay will appear and you can tie a keyword, a reference, page numbers, and your comments to this term.

Add a Term

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Adding terms is also fairly easy:

  1. Click on the 'new' link to add a term.
  2. Keystroke the word(s) (all lowercase unless a capital is warranted, e.g., for proper names like Waterston's organ).
  3. Add a definition in genus-differentia format that starts with a capital letter and ends with a period.
  4. Add OBO dbxref if from another ontology at OBO Foundary.
  5. Tie the term to the reference from which the definition was copied verbatim or from which the concept was derived. Curators are added to the references so they appear in the search (see example image).
  6. Tie it to the highest taxon for which this term applies.
  7. Choose the language if not English.
