Ontology Info

Field	Value
Acronyme	SCDO
Description	The Sickle Cell Disease Ontology (SCDO) project is a collaboration between H3ABioNet (Pan African Bioinformatics Network) and SPAN (Sickle Cell Disease Pan African Network). The SCDO is currently under development and its purpose is to:<br><br>1) establish community standardized SCD terms and descriptions,<br>2) establish canonical and hierarchical representation of knowledge on SCD,<br>3) links to other ontologies and bodies of work such as DO, PhenX, MeSH, ICD, NCI’s thesaurus, SNOMED and OMIM.<br><br>Once complete, we anticipate that the ontology will:<br><br>1) be the most comprehensive collection of knowledge on SCD,<br>2) facilitate exploration of new scientific questions and ideas,<br>3) facilitate seamless data sharing and collaborations including meta-analysis within the SCD community,<br>4) support the building of databasing and clinical informatics in SCD.
