Acronym | EDAM |
Visibility | Public |
Description | EDAM is a simple ontology of well established, familiar concepts that are prevalent within bioinformatics, including types of data and data identifiers, data formats, operations and topics. EDAM provides a set of terms with synonyms and definitions, organised into an intuitive hierarchy for convenient use. |

more Permissions | We recommend, however, that while EDAM is being actively maintained by its authors, substantial derived work, major modifications (especially conceptual and semantic), and re-definitions of concepts and other content (e.g. additional constraints on EDAM concepts/owl:Class-es within owl:imports meant with universal validity, that would "close" some desired options of the open-world assumption) are consulted with the EDAM core developers beforehand at the time of consideration, and consistent solutions are sought in collaboration. |
