| dc.description.abstract | The Evidence and Conclusion Ontology (ECO) contains terms (classes) that describe types of evidence and assertion methods. ECO terms are used in the process of biocuration to capture the evidence that supports biological assertions (e.g. gene product X has function Y as supported by evidence Z). Capture of this information allows tracking of annotation provenance, establishment of quality control measures and query of evidence. ECO contains over 1500 terms and is in use by many leading biological resources including the Gene Ontology, UniProt and several model organism databases. ECO is continually being expanded and revised based on the needs of the biocuration community. The ontology is freely available for download from GitHub (https://github.com/evidenceontology/) or the project’s website (http://evidenceontology.org/). Users can request new terms or changes to existing terms through the project’s GitHub site. ECO is released into the public domain under CC0 1.0 Universal. | en_US |
| dc.description.sponsorship | The ECO project gratefully acknowledges contributions from: multiple members of the Gene Ontology Consortium and several Model Organism Databases, your feedback and contributions continually enrich the ECO resource as a whole; the OBI development team, in particular Bjoern Peters, James Overton, Christian J. Stoeckert, Jr. and Jie Zheng, for help adding terms to OBI; the many individuals who contributed to the specific term development projects described above; Matt Brush for help on ECO design patterns; Andrew Su, Benjamin Good, Sebastian Burgstaller-Muehlbacher and Andra Waagmeester for integration of ECO into Wikidata; Amrita Madabushi for her help in outreach to prospective interns; the past ECO interns Kimuel Villanova, Shayan Hajiabadi, Marina Grekova, Francis Pobelete and Binika Chunara; our Scientific Advisory Board Bjoern Peters, Claire O’Donovan, and Ramona Walls; and finally, all of the people who have submitted term requests or comments and thus contributed to ECO.
