Abstract: Biomedical ontologies provide essential domain knowledge to drive data integration, information retrieval, data annotation, naturallanguage processing, and decision support. The National Center for Biomedical Ontology is developing BioPortal, a Web-based system that serves as a repository for biomedical ontologies. Bio-Portal defines relationships among those ontologies and between the ontologies and online data resources such as PubMed, Clin-icalTrials.gov, and the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Bio-Portal supports not only the technical requirements for access to biomedical ontologies either via Web browsers or via Web services, but also community-based participation in the evaluation and evolution of ontology content. BioPortal enables ontology users to learn what biomedical ontologies exist, what a particular ontology might be good for, and how individual ontologies relate to one another. BioPortal is available online at http://bioportal.bioontology.org.
