FAIRsharing record for: FAIR Genomes Semantic Model

This FAIRsharing record describes: FAIR Genomes aims to enable next-generation sequencing (NGS) data reuse by developing metadata standards for the data descriptions needed to FAIRify genomic data while also addressing ELSI issues. The FAIR Genomes schema reuses common ontologies such as NCIT, DUO, and EDAM (only introducing new terms when necessary). The metadata schema is represented in a YAML format that can be transformed into templates for data entry software (EDC) and programmatic interfaces (JSON, RDF) to ease genomic data sharing in research and healthcare.

The FAIR Genomes application ontology TTL files can be converted to other RDF serialization formats including OWL-XML, RDF-XML, RDF-JSON, JSON-LD, N-Triples, TriG, TriX, Thrift, Manchester syntax and Functional syntax using Ontology Converter.
