## Description

## Ontology Info

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Acronyme | SSBD |
| Description | SSBD Ontology is a two-tier model for FAIR metadata of bioimaging.<br>The repository layer captures the minimum information required for rapid, DOI-based release of image datasets, while the added-value layer enriches the same instances with detailed biological context (organism, strain, cell/cell-line, anatomy, GO terms) and imaging provenance (imaging method, instrument, OME-Zarr links).<br>SSBD Ontology re-uses and aligns with OBO Foundry ontologies— ChEBI, CL, CLO, UBERON, GO, FBbi, OBI, IAO—so that multi scale data information can be integrated uniformly.<br>The ontology is distributed under CC-BY 4.0. |
