Common Anatomy Reference Ontology

OntoBee AberOWL OLS BioPortal Bioregistry

The Common Anatomy Reference Ontology (CARO) is being developed to facilitate interoperability between existing anatomy ontologies for different species, and will provide a template for building new anatomy ontologies. CARO will be described in Anatomy Ontologies for Bioinformatics: Principles and Practice Albert Burger, Duncan Davidson and Richard Baldock (Editors).

Important note: CARO has been obsoleted in favour of Uberon. However, not all CARO terms have been migrated to Uberon; please request any terms you were using from CARO and are missing from Uberon on the Uberon issue tracker: https://github.com/obophenotype/uberon/issues.
