FAIRsharing record for: The bioscientific data analysis and management ontology

This FAIRsharing record describes: EDAM is a comprehensive ontology of well-established, familiar concepts that are prevalent within bioscientific data analysis and data management (including computational biology, bioinformatics, and bioimage informatics). EDAM includes topics, operations, types of data and data identifiers, and data formats, relevant in data analysis and data management in life sciences. EDAM provides a set of concepts with preferred terms and synonyms, related terms, definitions, and other information - organised into a simple and intuitive hierarchy for convenient use. EDAM is particularly suitable for semantic annotations and categorisation of diverse resources related to data analysis and management: e.g. tools, workflows, learning materials, or standards. EDAM is also useful in data management itself, for recording provenance metadata of processed bioscientific data.
