| Description | DECIDE ontology provides a semantic framework for describing and integrating knowledge related to both aquaculture and terrestrial livestock species.<br>This ontology was developed as part of the DECIDE EU 2020 project to support data integration, classification, and knowledge modeling in the domain of aquaculture. It provides a structured, upper-level framework for representing species (such as salmon, cattle, poultry, and pigs), production systems, measurement events, and health-related information including clinical signs, diagnostics, and interventions. <br><br>The ontology is designed to be modular and extensible, and it can be adapted or reused for terrestrial livestock species such as cattle, poultry, and pigs.<br> <br>seeAlso: LivestockHealthOntology<br>https://bioportal.bioontology.org/ontologies/LHO <br><br>Its purpose is to facilitate harmonized data representation for improved disease surveillance, risk assessment, and decision support across livestock sectors. |
