Environment Ontology

Other names: ENVO

The Environment Ontology (EnvO) provides a controlled, structured vocabulary that is designed to support the annotation of any organism or biological sample with environment descriptors. EnvO contains terms ranging from astronomical objects, through planetary scale biomes, to nanomaterials. Further, these terms are interlinked with logical axioms describing their composition, colocalisation, and relationships to environmental and biological processes. Using ENVO terms for an environmental description allows a comprehensive description of environment that is key to machine-assisted integration, archiving and federated searching of environmental data.
