| Overview |
|
The Evidence Ontology is a controlled vocabulary of terms
describing the evidence that supports assertions within Pathway/Genome
Databases.
The ontology currently contains
160 terms.
|
Motivation
|
|
The Evidence Ontology was developed to provide a controlled vocabulary of terms
for defining the different types of experimental and computational evidence
that support assertions within Pathway/Genome Databases
such as the MetaCyc database.
Examples include
evidence supporting predicted metabolic pathways and operons, and
evidence supporting experimentally determined enzyme functions.
