Ontologies

UCE already supports a collection of ontologies developed across various projects. These ontologies are fully supported out of the box, requiring no additional development within UCE to be functional.

We are continuously working to expand this list—similar to our efforts with compatible annotations. If you would like to contribute an ontology, you are welcome to submit a pull request or contact us directly.

All ontologies must be in RDF or OWL format.

Biological Ontologies

As part of the BIOfid project, taxonomists have curated new biological taxonomies and extended existing ones. This ontology database builds upon the GBIF ontology and includes additional manually created taxonomies.
