The Phenoscape project attempts to formalize the description of evolutionary characters to make them interoperable and computable with the body of phenotype annotation being generated by model organism databases, and other biomedical research.
We describe a simple XML format to share text documents and annotation
A minimalist approach to share text documents and data annotations. Allows a large number of different annotations to be represented.
Project files contain:
- simple code to hold/read/write data and perform sample processing.
- BioC-formatted corpora
- BioC tools that work with BioC corpora
BioC goals
- simplicity
- interoperability
- broad use
- reuse
There should be little investment required to learn to use a format or a software module to process that format. We are...
