## Description

## Ontology Info

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Acronyme | IDO |
| Description | The IDO ontologies are designed as a set of interoperable ontologies that will together provide coverage of the infectious disease domain. At the core of the set is a general Infectious Disease Ontology (IDO-Core) of entities relevant to both biomedical and clinical aspects of most infectious diseases. Sub-domain specific extensions of IDO-Core complete the set providing ontology coverage of entities relevant to specific pathogens or diseases. <br><br><br>To import,<br>Latest version: http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ido.owl<br>This version (2010-12-02): http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ido/2010-12-02/ido.owl<br>Previous  versions:<br>2010-05-26 http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ido/2010-05-26/ido.owl<br>2009-08-14 http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ido/2009-08-14/ido.owl<br><br><br>Latest release notes at http://infectiousdiseaseontology.org/page/Download<br><br>Please note: The ontology metrics displayed by BioPortal do not distinguish IDO-developed terms from terms imported from other ontologies. |
