CO_337

This FAIRsharing record describes: The Groundnut Ontology is part of the Crop Ontology (CO) project. The Crop Ontology has been created to compile validated concepts along with their inter-relationships on anatomy, structure and phenotype of Crops, on trait measurement and methods as well as on Germplasm with the multi-crop passport terms. The concepts of the CO are being used to curate agronomic databases and describe the data. The use of ontology terms to describe agronomic phenotypes and the accurate mapping of these descriptions into databases is important in comparative phenotypic and genotypic studies across species and gene-discovery experiments as it provides harmonized description of the data and therefore facilitates the retrieval of information.

本FAIRsharing记录所描述的内容如下：落花生本体（Groundnut Ontology）是作物本体（Crop Ontology，以下简称CO）项目的组成部分。作物本体项目旨在整合经过验证的概念及其相互关联，涵盖作物的解剖特征、结构特性与表型性状、性状测量方法，以及带有多作物护照术语的种质资源相关内容。作物本体的相关概念被用于审核整理农业数据库并规范描述数据。利用本体术语描述农业表型特征，并将此类描述精准映射至数据库中，对于跨物种比较表型与基因型研究以及基因发现实验具有重要意义：其可为数据提供统一规范的描述，从而助力信息检索工作。
